QOTW: Are you happy with your hair?

Are you happy with your hair?

Beautiful with brains says: not really. I kinda like my natural brown color but I hate that my hair is so thin, fine and flat. I tried everything to give it some volume but nothing seems to work, not for more than a couple of  hours anyway. :(

I actually am, pretty much. It’s thick and fairly wavy, and I keep it pretty short. As long as I don’t try to control it too much (e.g., straighten it or otherwise make it do things it doesn’t want to), I’m fairly happy with it.

What I’m NOT happy with lately is my scalp, which has gotten all dry and itchy lately for some reason!

Principessa Grassa, you have beautiful hair. But it’s too bad you’re having problems with your scalp. :( It could be the shampoos you’re using that’s too harsh. Have you tried some conditioning treatments?

I dont like my hair all the time. It has a tendency to get dirty really quick… Dunno what to do anymore. I love that it grows pretty quick though :)
I need to color it soon again tho cause the roots are not nice to look at atm :)
My hair has a tendency to curl when it is damp.. like when Im outside in the rain it ALWAYS curls :) Can be nice, but not when you have put loads of time in trying to straighten it :)
All in all, I guess Im happy with my hair.. it is thick and soft .. I just wish it could stay clean a bit longer than it does :)

Anna, I feel your pain! My hair get dirty soon and very oily as well. I have to wash it every other day which is a nuisance, but what you can do? :(

I like it, even if it’s quite fine and definitely… anarchic! :)
After trying all kind of colors, I’m back to my natural dark ash blonde – thanks to a great colorist!! – and now I think I’ll let it grow a bit and also get my few white strands back (I love them, it took 45 years to get’em!! ;) )

I currently hate it because it’s all falling out – well I hate the way it looks now cause there’s hardly any left – but I have a new appreciation for my hair now that it’s gone.

Not really, no. Like you I have really soft, thin hair and to add insult to injury it’s also oily. I’d wash my hair the morning and by night it’ll be oily, flat THING on my head. I’m pretty okay with the colour black though.

shusheshe, looks like our hair is the same. Mine is oily too and gets dirty so easily. It sucks, doesn’t it? :(

I’m okay with my hair, which is straight-ish Asian hair. It’s oily and gets weighed down very easily, though. I always have to have my hair cut in choppy layers or it gets too heavy and flat. My scalp, on the other hand, is a hot mess. It’s dry and flaky, and AH! Nothing seems to help, even prescriptions! Although, it has been a tiny bit better now that I’m eating healthier.

Tammy, having hair cut in layers is a trick I use too to get some volume. Those seem to help too much for me though eheh. I’m sorry to hear that about your scalp though, if even prescriptions don’t work, I don’t know what else to suggest. It’s good to know that a healthy diet is improved it a bit.

At the moment, yes. I used to have straight hair, but recently it has grown to take some waves on the ends, and especially I let it air-dry, the waves become big curls….lovely, and loving it! Can’t explain why but my hair texture and everything seem fine, except slightly oily (due to our hot weather!)

Vonvon, that sounds very lovely, lucky you! I wish my hair curled like that as well. :)

I like the color (dark brown with natural reddish highlights), I like the fact that it’s really manageable, but I hate that it’s very oily and frizzy!! :/ And the scalp is itchy! I need a new head I think LOL!

Stavroula Plag, that’s too bad! Oily hair seems to be very common, unfortunately. I have it and it’s a pain! But your hair color is beautiful and it’s great that your hair so easy to manage. :)
