    Default I fucking hate my hair. Need advice.

    I know this sounds stupid, but I'm near tears.

    I have ALWAYS had frizzy, bleached out looking hair.....way before I started coloring it.

    This is how it looks naturally:

    I sometimes look in the mirror and mistake myself for James Hetfield.

    Even if I straighten it and douse it in product, it looks like shit after 5 minutes.

    I am thinking of chopping it all the fuck off and investing in some wigs.

    Just wanted to check if any of you know of a miracle product or something.

    I am willing to do almost anything to get it healthy at this point. Ugly hair makes an ugly girl.

    Have you tried Frizz-Ease? Their whole line is amazing, but I'm especially partial to the Secret Weapon Flawless Finishing Creme. Never found anything else like it.

    I hate to say it, but if that's you in the pic, cutting it off might be a good idea. No product can repair broken ends. My hair used to be really frizzy and the only thing that fixed it was cutting it off VERY short and then taking really good care of it as it grew back in. Protein treatments every week, no blow-drying, just pampering it. It grows in so glossy and healthy you won't recognize yourself, and healthy hair grows faster.

    Talk to a good stylist and see what she says.

    ( FYI: chic in link is fortunately not me, but the texture is similar to my hair after it's blow dried.)


    I think I may just cut it short, stop dying it blonde (I'm a coppery reddish color..) and ......buy several textbooks on keeping it healthy.

    It's weird though..because it's been this way since I was maybe 3 or 4.

    You have brittle hair, apparently. Plenty of people do. Definitely stop bleaching it! It'll never heal if you keep doing that. Cut it off as short as necessary (your stylist can see how far up it's broken, and cut off the broken parts while leaving the healthy roots). Then do your weekly protein treatments, leave it at its natural color, stop all heat styling (especially blow-drying), and just take very good care of it as it grows out. You shouldn't need textbooks.

    lol...... Thanks for the advice. I know it's simple. I'm still getting a wig though. I'm way too angular for short hair.

    What protein treatments do you use btw?

    Joico K-pak reconstructor is a good one. It's lumpy and smells like pumpkin pie.

    It sounds like you have coarse textured hair that is fragile. Mine is coarse too so I may be able to help a bit.

    Coarse hair needs mega-moisture even if it is virgin and not heat styled. I actually keep a bottle of oil in the shower and I mix a spoonful with my condish before I apply, olive, coconut and jojoba mixed is my fav.

    If you are going to blow dry, do it on low and use a ton of leave in. A lot of coarse hair (mine included) looks fantastic if it is doused in heavy condish then allowed to air dry. I know it will take forever, that's because of the texture, but many of us get cool, ropey ringlets or loose waves that look like they are out of a magazine this way.

    Some fantastic products are Ojons Moisturizing line w/the treatment (try this as a leave in), or Joico's K-Pac - the whole line, poo, daily condish, reconstructor and deep moisturizer. I would start with these, they are easiest to find and are very popular.

    If all else fails, try going sulfate-free and silicone-free (or at least switch to low sulfate products and only water soluble cones). It can really make a HUGE difference in your hair. If you need help with this, let me know, I can help decipher the ingredients list. Some great ones to try are Abba Pure Color Protect poo and condish with the Pure Recovery condish, the Ojon I meantioned above, Mastey Restore, SuperPac and Moisturee. I also LOVE Nexxus Therappe, Keraphix and Humectress, all of which are now sold in drugstores and are cone free, the poo is not sulfate free however (Therappe is still my fav poo).

    HTH!

    Forgot to mention that you may need a heavy duty protein treatment to stop the breakage first. The best is Aphogee, you can get this at Sally beauty, next, listed in descending amounts of protein are Nexxus Emergencee, then K-Pac and finally Redkin Anti-Snap. You HAVE to do a moisturizing treatment after Aphogee, Emergencee and Anti-Snap. K-pac already has some moisture.

    paul mitchells smoothing serum and gloss drops are amazing...

    maybe you would do better with a short layered haircut for a while till you get it healthier and youll get all the dead ends off. the shortest you can handle would be good imo...

    btw if thats you in the pic, i think you could pull of short hair fine.

    Agreed. Cut most of it off and start over. Take care of it from there. I also think you would rock short hair. But thats just my 2 cents. Good luck otherwise!

    it's not her, but i still agree. angular faces are GREAT for short hair!! it's super-round faces that sometimes have trouble. even heart-shaped faces are really good. I see you taming that mane (try frizz-ease... my little sister has worse frizz than that and she loves that product!) and the experiment w/ color/cut! I'd love to see you with a 20's style bob and a darker color... I think you'd look great.

    My search function on my computer is working so well right now. Go to www.aveda.com. The Damage Remedy shampoo and conditioner along with the Intensive Restructuring treatment would be your best bet.

    I think that you should use the Sebastian Penetraitt overnight it works wonders on dry,frizzy,stress out hair. It makes a hard coating over the hair. That helped when I overbleached and my hair looked like the outside of a dried coconut. Olive Oil Rubs are good about 30mins before you shampoo and I would suggest a good leave in conditioner. The Redken Anti Snap is good but mix it with an antifrizz. That is to take care of your natural hair but my best advice is to take good hair vitamins and trim a good bit off of your hair, If you want longer hair use extensions until it grows out but you still need to keep your hair healthy.

    A healthy trim and try sleeping with olive oil in your hair with a cap on.

    I bought a new blow dryer than apparently has ions (whatever that means) and has like a 60% faster drying time. It also dries out your hair twice as fast.

    My hair got really dry, not that dry, but it could have. Olive oil is a life saver for your hair.
