Post a Picture of Your Hairstyle

[Shaun.P]

^ That's sorta the way I would like my hair. How long did it take to get that length?


Can anyone offer me some advice on growing my hair to this length? Should I just keep going to the hairdressers and getting it thinned out but not cut or should I just leave it until it's that length? I have been thinking of getting it thinned because it's pretty thick but don't want to add loads of time onto my hair getting longer. Also, do I want it layered? What does this do/mean?

Shaun.

If your hair is not extremely straight, you definitely want to keep getting it trimmed so that the lengths stay even. I think if your hair is very straight this isn't a big issue. But if you let it grow say 1.5 inches and then chop off a quarter inch and repeat (get your hair cut every six weeks or so) it will definitely look better over time than if you just let it grow without cuts. I have mixed feelings about thinning shears...I've had that done before, and sometimes I like it, and sometimes I don't.

I straighten my hair using straightening irons . I haven't had it cut in ages however I got it thinned out a bit, only a bit quite a while ago. My hair is very bushy and out of place if I do not straighten it. Also, my fringe is very thick. My hair seems to be growing very slowly .

I think it'll actually look better both straight and curled if you get slight trims to even it out. Also it'll catch on the straightening iron less too. I use one sometimes, but the problem I have is that unless it is a dry day here in the Sunshine State, my hair will poof out.

Also, before using your iron on it and before applying the Dirt, use Redken Align.
Also if you have the money, invest in a Ceramic Chi and Redken Smooth Down shampoo and conditioner.

You will have your look in no time.

I know EXACTLY how you feel.

Also, when I straighten my hair is goes very fine - all the hairs are individual. I would like to have the effect of 'clumps' of hair without it looking greasy or as if there is something in my hair!

Oh - I am getting GHD Straighteners for my Christmas. In the UK they are considered the best!

Looks like the straighteners they hound me with when I go to the mall.

nitynate - I have just went on eBay and bought all of the products you mentioned. I hope I like them!

Killyp love your hair - how did you get it like that? Did you get it frequently thinned?

Hahaha.
Now what would your mom say about that?

Grow your hair slightly longer than you would want it to.

Then go to a stylist and have them work on it.

Makes sense, no?

 

[vendettabass]

me on the right.. showing off my black nano :-D

 

[MrSmith]

Is this you too?

1) Take electric trimmer.
2) attach #3 clip-thingie.
3) buzz
4) trim sideburns and back of neck
5) repeat when hair is long enough to comb.

 

[Chrispy]

Nothing too exciting...

The look in my picture required a straightening iron, which I hate to have to do.

So I've just recently (Friday) cut my hair. If it isnt to long then you dont get curls (I have a very mixed head of hair, curly, straight, and wavy) as aggressively.

Most importantly, GO TO A STYLIST. Not a barbershop. If you are paying 9 dollars for your haircut you are in the wrong.

I thin my hair out everytime I get a hair cut (1.5 - 3 months). Its also called feathering your hair.

And, I have layers upon layers. Do NOT, I repeat, do NOT get layers if you do not have STRAIGHT hair. Layers makes your hair VERY puffy and a complete mess. My layers work because I either straighten my hair or I put pomade in it. But even then you dont get the exact look. For example, heres my hair with Pomade in it

It's still nice but its a different style. That is a mix of curls and straightness.

And if your trying to get your hair straight with minimal work, when you get out of the shower put it in a pony tail and then put on a baseball hat till its dry.

Or you could just blow dry it down.

Holy crap I must be gay.

 

[HckySo]

My hair never stays like this though, by the end of the day it sucks.

Well, if it's worth the effort.....
Don't worry though. IMO most people in this thread pay way
too much attention to their hair, but that's just me.

What does your hairstyle look like?

Shaun.

Lets see it after the new straightener!

 

[me_94501]

I've done absolutely nothing with my hair today, as usual. My hair is thick and sometimes unwieldy (and like mrzeve, there are curly, wavy, and straight areas) , but blow-drying it usually makes it manageable.

Lets see it after the new straightener!

Will post a picture later today - when I do my hair!
