*UPDATED 12/23/06* Growing Hair need Help! (pics)

I used to have very straight hair, but somehow mine changed to wavy, thick hair. :(

dam dude, u look like a completely different person with long hair, my advice..go bak to the long hair!!! short hair doesnt suit u at all! makes u look older and just doesnt look right on u.

sounds like ur hair is missbehaving as ur growin it out, u shudnt worri so much wether its dead straight or not but if u do want it straight, u shud invest sum money into purchasing a hair striaghtener that u can use at home, they are reasonable priced and will give u the striaghtest hair possible! and it doesnt take too long to striaghten hair either.

with regards to the hair colour, u shud wait till ur hair has grown to its full desired lenght then u shud dye sum light blodne streaks through it, go to a hairdresser and they can do it for u and make it look like natural highlights.

neways good luk and keep us posted

Yeah, I don't like short hair, I myself think long hair suits me.
Anyways thanks for the help, I think I'm gonna wait it out and let it grow and go to the sun so it naturally gets back to its original light blonde color - I don't intend on using any products or using a hair straightener, When my hair grows out it usually flattens down and goes straight again.
Thanks for the help, and I'll keep ya posted.

I think your hair looks cute with the darker and lighter blonde in the black and white pic. if you want it lighter, they have some lighting products at some stores. i dunno maybe you could try those of the lemon juice is'nt working.

Thanks.
For now I'm sticking to naturaly lightening it by going to the sun allot, but I'm going to try out oine of those shampoos that's supposed to bring out the natural  color and highlights for blondes - one of those herbal shampoo's - I need some advise on getting one however I don't know which I should get, can someone help me out?
Thanks!

wudnt have any idea on the shampoo, ask ur local hairdresser what ur after and they shud give u sum names, then its simply a matter of heading down to the shops and piking it out, good luk!

btw ur hair looks tops mate well done, it will look better a bit longer too

Thanks bro, yeah As for the straight hair problem It's pretty much solved, only reason it was being alittle wavy before was cause it was too short and really dry and layered so it's coming out straight now - now all I have left is growing it out and trying to get iut back toitslighter blonde naturally - gonna have to go to the sunallot.
Yeah I agree, at the stage it's in right nowI hate it, but in about 2 months It'll be nicer :D.

if ur looking on styling ideas, here are a few pics to help u out

 

  

 

Thanks bro thats very helpfull!
I was wondering does pomade and stuff liek that mess up your hair? like does it damage it? I heard pomade and wax are really bad for your hair so I've been reluctant to use any of it.
Peace.

mate...dont listen to a word people say, gel is bad for hair, there is nothing wrong with using wax at all, does no damage on ur hair wotsoever so u shudnt be worring. most of those hairstyles above the guys their wud use a combonation of wax and hairspray to get that texture look.

It's been a while... but I have some pics to show so far. :D
I haven't been going to the sun at all so unfortunatly my hair is still dark... however it lightened on it's own - dunno how but whatever.
I can put the front strands in my mouth alredy (yay) lol and imma trim it soon cause of the split ends (damn).
I'v been getting lots of split ends recently and my hair is having htis problem where its straight up untill it gets to m\y ears length and thne it sticks out ... the back is still abit wavy though.
(I can tie my hair back now)


Like I said... when I pull it it goes down to my mouth.
(here it is when i take off the hair tie- It's kinda annoying cause the hair tie crimps up my hair ont he back so the sides stick out even more...)

And one more...



Another thing is my hair is unbelievably dry, it's so annoying.
It feels horrible everytime i pass my hands through my hair its just so dry... Dunno what to do.
Peace.

How about adding a second conditioner? Personally I use four  and it works really nicely. I never get the "dry" feeling. Basically what I do is wash my hair normally (which for me is a CCC routine. Your case might be different) Then I condition (#2) with a light conditioner such as Suave Citrus Smoothie, or V05 Raspberry, or something less than a dollar a bottle. Then I rinse out and slather on my regular conditioner (#3). Then I go for another conditioner. But I'm sure you'd want to stop at two of 'em.

edited to add: if your hair feels especially dry, you could try applying about a drop of jojoba oil to your hair. More information on jojoba oil can be found here, here, and here.

Anais, are Pure-A-Teas Lotus and Pure-A-Teas Green Tea conditioners?

They sure are! Unfortunately they are discontinued, but sometimes if  lucky you might see them in a dollar store.

Revenga, it takes a bit of experimentation to find something that works. I would immediately drop the use of oil if it didn't work the first few times. If oiling doesn't work the first few times, then it won't "suddenly" work. You'd probably get better results with a second conditioner.

Wow, your hair looks fabulous  That's a lot of growth since October.

Thanks, and thankyou for all the advise...
I did the double conditioning for a-bit but it still had teh same result so I just went back to regular conditioning once...
I'm using these products that are specialized for blondes.
I don't know if it's working or not but my hair does feel better... Maybe it's just that it's growing and is begining to get heavier and fall straight.
It still tends to curve at the ends though, sometimes allot.

Will post more pics soon.
Peace.

i cant believe you cut it just cause of a little wave:( Your hair is naturally going to do that something i think you will have to take in and deal with. WHATS wrong with the wave? i thought your hair was looking super good and so cute. If it was dry you need to use leave in conditioners, you need to be doing conditioner and shampoo for dry hair shampooing less and conditioning more, and oiling your hair with jojoba oil before shampooing a pre oiling, also be sure your going in for small trims to prevent damage that will help with your dry end issue. But i am shocked you cut it again! good luck :) babycheeks242006-09-07 12:25:37
