Question Transwoman looking for hairstyle advice

Post image
48 Upvotes

Hi, I am a Transwoman and when I grew out my hair and it reached my shoulder, I got my first femme haircut. The stylist and my elder sister said a bob hair with bangs and a middle parting would suit me and pair well with my earrings (I usually like to wear long, dangling ones)

I kindof like my new hair but I want my bangs to look more like that of British actress Jameela Jamil (on the left)

My bangs are parted in the middle (just like the rest of the bob) but not sure if it is a density issue or I need to ask my stylist to cut it differently?

So, I’m a natural blonde, and I’ve been doing peekaboos for a while. This felt like the perfect time to post this question. Would I look better with blonde or black hair? I usually dress alt if that’s helpful!

Bad Haircut Is there anyway to fix this? I have tried to explain it 20 times but no one knows how to do what I’m asking and I currently hate my hair but feel no one can help because I can’t explain it.

Hi everyone! For starters I want to thank everyone so much for commenting and helping my understand my situation and also validating the very obvious fact that they were done badly by the hair salon. I ended up contacting them and going back to the salon in which the hairstylist did a lot of layering and thinning to blend the hair. When I left I thought it looked a lot better but after taking a photo of the back straight after as well as after I showered and blow dried my hair I am still unhappy :( I have attached both photos of my hair after the second haircut below. I ended up sending the hair salon a message expressing how unhappy I was and this was their response/solution, is this fair? I am honestly not sure what to do going forward from here and just feel very sad and embarrassed about my hair. I feel like if they remove them my hair is gonna look terrible because of all the hair that was cut to make them blend. Please let me know what you think and what I should do, I really really appreciate it!

I'm not sure which hair color best suits me. I've had blonde/vivids for about six years, and I'm starting to wonder if going back to dark brunette is the better choice for me. I think I'm blind to what looks best.

Question Hairstrong bands: worth it?

Post image
1 Upvotes

Has anyone tried hairstrong bands? My algorithm keeps pushing it on me and I'm on the fence because it's pretty expensive for a singular hair tie (ranges from $20-$39 depending on thickness)

I have thick, glossy hair, and tend to get tension headaches from tight ponytails (too loose, and the hair tie slides right off). I'm willing to spend if it's worth it; I've bought the similarly-priced Mello claw clips and liked them enough for a repurchase when I lost mine. I wanna know if it does stay put all day without needing to readjust often, and if it pulls tight on the scalp. And of course, if it's durable.

Bad Haircut Bad haircut help me!!

Why do hairdressers never seem to listen to what they’re asked to do? Before anyone says I should’ve spoken up, I’m autistic and I frequently go mute under stress. The second I saw her cutting it much shorter than we’d agreed, I completely froze. I couldn’t get the words out, and even now I feel guilty and rude for complaining. I’m 16 and I start college for the first time in a month, and I’ve been crying and panicking because this haircut is genuinely horrific to me. I actually know how to style hair and I’m usually really good at it, but only when it’s the length I was expecting. I’ve had every length of hair, including a pixie cut, and it was the worst decision of my life because I was severely bullied for it. I even told my hairdresser about the bullying before she started cutting, which is exactly why I didn’t want it this short. Now it’s brought all those memories back and I honestly don’t understand why she would cut so much off after I’d explained everything. I would never have chosen to have my hair this short and I know I’m not really asking much of a question I just need to tell anyone I need some kind of reassurance, it’s also layered at the back but you can barely see it because it only looked nice with the length I wanted.

Question Is the back of my head flat or is it just a haircut/styling issue?

17 Upvotes

I feel like my head looks flat from the side/back and I'm not sure if it's just the shape of my head or a styling/haircut issue. I've wondered if it could be just the length my hair is at, the layering, or even my posture or something, but I feel like it just might be the shape of my head, which is visible in pic 2 with my hair wet. Would love any help or opinions, I always wear it up in a clip because of how it looks when its down 😢

Question QUESTION FOR PEOPLE WHO HAVE LONG HAIR (pls help me😺)

2 Upvotes

So my main goal is growing my hair aka trying to grow it longer

I kinda want to try a wolf cut or whatever that is or just growing out in general.

So my question is

  1. Do you grow your hair out by showing the barber/hair salon a pic reference so it grow out the way that you want or just get a random haircut/layer and let it grow it out?

  2. How long should I let it grow out?

  3. In the growing out phase or awkward phase whatever that is ,when it's getting a bit too long / messy /flat (any kind of that) that even using product to style it feels useless , should you get like layer or maintenance cut/trim that keep your hair length all the same around? Or just grow it out even more to go past that state

  4. When it's at the length that you want , how should I tell the barber /hair salon to cut like the haircut/hairstyle that I want without messing up? ( Cause even when I show the pic , they always cut it or trim it short)

5.When you have finally achieved the exact form of your ideal long haircut/hairstyle but it's a bit long and flat ,how do you ask your barber/hair salon to cut /trim it so the form stay the same? ( maintenance cut)

  1. With long hair , how should you style it ? / what product do you often used?
