This thread is for anything hair related.

>>42660357What are you supposed to wear when sleeping to prevent hair damage? I might just resort to one of those full hair caps because nothing else is working...
>>42661824yeah i use one of those hair caps with satin on the inside. usually i put my hair in a loose ponytail using a satin scrunchie, then wrangle it all in there, then it comes out looking a lot nicer than it otherwise would've.
>>42660357i got a bald spot after starting estrogen
>>42662420Serves you right
>>42660357>qott not bangs. Never bangs but I do need to trim it.I think the best thing to do for your hair is wash it in cold water only! A bit of leave in conditioner when it gets frizzy helps. Keeping it braided I feel helps alot too
>>42660357Imagine if I got to be her boyfriend
>>42661824They're called bonnets! Usually worn by people with curly hair, but it's good for any hair texture. Higher end ones will be made of silk, cheaper ones out of polyester satin material. Any hair store in an area w/ a lot of black people will have em in stock. >>42663027I've heard this advice sooo sooo much but I love my warm showers :( I've also heard soft water is good for your hair, might get an RV water softener and hook it up in the shower.>>42663046No
>>42663027Please explain your take on bangs. Genuinely looking for reasons why or why not. I see basically all the other asian girlies rocking em, so the preliminary plan is to get hash cut style bangs + face framing pieces while leaving it super long in the back.
>>42663558Too late I am imagining :)
>>42663046That’s a boy dude
>>42660357my hair is fucked and it makes me want to kill myself>let myself go to norwood 6, except the the middle was down to clear peach fuzz, only my temples went slick bald>thought it would slam the door shut on the tranny thoughts>after a couple years of HRT the middle is packed with thin, 1-3" long lightly colored hairs that refuse to grow any longer>every other part of my transition is going great, my skeletal measurements are at the upper end of cisfem range, the only masculine traits on my face are things that FFS can fix, fat distribution is going great, im growing a nice set of tits, i have a nice full ass>if those damned thin hairs would just go terminal all I would need is a hair transplant for the temples and I would be a giga lateshit, luckshit passoid>have started dumping minoxidil on it every day out of desperationgod damn it I just want the center back! please, universe! please! T_T
>>42663984That wouldn't make sense, they have the long hair of a girl
>>42664050The good news is that if your biggest clock is hair then there are genuinely a lot of options to fix it. I've seen trans women go from never passing to stealth thanks to a transplant a year or two of growing it back. Even then you have wigs which get a bad name but can be super pretty.
>>42664050I've seen minoxidil and finasteride pull some genuine miracles, stick with it for a while.
Does anyone here know if it's a bad idea to take fin 1mg daily while doing weekly 5mg EEN injections?I really don't wanna end up looking like Pic related
>>42661824I've tried everything and most things leave painful bruises on you or less tension on your hair that will snap it in your sleep. What I do is wrap my hair around my hand then fuck it into my shirt. Then I pull out about half of it so it rests on my shoulder and rotate my neck around to make sure there's no tension and sleep. Be careful around seabelts and sitting down always grabbing your hair and moving it in front of you. Be careful around vacuums and fans or it will get ripped apart like mine did.
>>42664068>>42664194Thanks nonas <3I'm trying to hang in there and be patient
>>42664233Its an ok idea like a 80% it won't do anything compared to just taking the estrogen, also 0.2mg a day is enough.
>>42664233Might not be a bad idea to get your DHT checked and see if you even have to. Fin prevents the creation of neuroprotective steroids and can have other side effects. The lest pharmaceuticals you can take the better.
I feel like I got so lucky with my hair, anyone else can relate?
>>42660357I started using Tsubaki premium ex hair mask 2x a week right after conditioner and it's really done wonders for me! I have wavy mediterranean hair that's around a 2B. It used to be frizzy and dry no matter what I did and now I'm really happy with my hair for the first time that I can remember.
>>42660357>QOTT: What's your next hairstyle going to be?goiin to the get my hair cut gna b asking for this mhm>>42664233duta > fin . always>>42664832soph?
>>42660357HOW THE FUCK DO I GET VOLUME???I HATE MY FINE FLAT STRAIGHT HAIR!! ITS SO PAINFUL TO LOOK LIKE I HAVE THREE STRANDS TOTAL. i put ts in a ponytail it looks PATHETIC. tried to do a blowout on myself multiple times and my hair just cannot hold a curl or volume at all idky. stripped down my routine after nothing worked now i just shampoo, conditioner, leave, in towel/air dry. I WILL DO ANYTHING. someone tell me to fry my whole shit with bleach please idc. pic unrel
my hairline + skull are pretty chopped but bangs help a lot... however when my bangs clump up like this it looks super embarrassing. does anyone know how to prevent this?
hi hair people can someone give me the rundown on bangs. i have have curtains but i think i want to shorten them up to cover my forehead. see picrel (me on the left, what i want on the right).what i want to know is with my hair texture (thick & wavy to slightly curly) do you have to treat your bangs differently than the rest of your hair? i usually just condition everything and sometimes help my curls clump with gel/mousse. but im worried that with short bangs they'll curl/clump too much and look weird, or if i don't condition/gel them, they'll look dry and frizzy. is there a secret to how she gets her bangs to lay flat like that. do i have to straighten my bangs separately from the rest of my hair after drying? do i condition and scrunch them like the rest of my hair?
>>42663663My face isn't shaped nicely for bangs. Some chicas can rock em but I know I would look ugly with them.
>>42664832there is a part of me that kiiiinda wants to get a lighter too close to your hair
bump :|
>>42666208First of all your hair is sooooo amazing and I'm a little jealous. Second, your hair should be able to fall into the bangs like on the right photo without a bunch of styling. It seems thin enough to be manageable.>>42666130You can cut more of your hair into the bangs portion. Looks kinda like a styling mistake, maybe? Can ask a stylist to do this too.>>42666112Fine hair will hold volume easy!!! if you want, get a perm done for some waves, or get a layered cut and use voluming powder.>>42665154hair masks are a game changer, I wish I started using them earlier!!

>>42663663the curtain bangs + shag + faceframing layers is kinda a vibe nona… if you have that super straight 1A azn hair it’s gonna take some blowdrying to set up but once you do i think it looks really good i would like to know how to get more volume out of my hair though, preferably without product because i hate how it feels in my hair. do i just need to get shaggier/shorter layers? like have them end sooner close to my face. or do i just have to suck it up and get a mousse or sumthin
is it better to part your hair left or right or centerwhich is more feminine and which is masculine ?what if you have a crooked nose should you part it with the crook or against it ?does it matter if one side is your "good side"?
>>42664233Mogs me
qott: i just wanna dye it black like i used to but im afraid people will judge me since im old and moided
not sure what to do with my hair. i haven't gotten a haircut in 9 months now (embarrassing to admit) because the last time i did the hairstylist commented that i had a "very angular face" and made me cry. its just grown out nothing right now its kind of a mess and it doesn't look good. i don't know what to do with it. i don't know if i should get bangs i don't know, idk. i hate it and i hate the way i look and i need a change.
>>42669209Gawd I feel gross knowing how much worse I look compared to the other trannies on here..
>>42664050Worst case scenario you can shave it all off and say you have alopecia. I know an older trans woman who did that and shes still stealth in most of her social life somehow.Simple question for me: I am a pooner and I haven't gotten my hair cut at all in like 10 years so I look kind of homeless. Should I cut it short and have a normal haircut or should I continue looking like a person of unhoused experience. I'm trying to attract a twink boyfriend if it's relevant.
>>42669472there’s a reason there’s a sticker there, let me put it that way lolbeing trans is trial and error in minimizing maleness, whether it be hair or makeup or anglefrauding or whatever. don’t be discouraged nona, figuring this shit out takes time and effort but keep at it and you’ll get where you wanna be <3
>>42661824>What are you supposed to wear when sleeping to prevent hair damage? I might just resort to one of those full hair caps because nothing else is working...Get a couple big satin scarfs for cheap. Look up ways to tie it on youtube. I prefer this to a bonnet because you can do it different ways and use it more like a headband if you want your scalp to get air.Alternatively, just braid, bun, or twist it up and use satin pillowcases. This is probably not necessary unless you have curly or kinky hair or you're aiming for serious length.
>>42669636Would a scarf or bonnet be more effective than braiding or buns? I do want to get some serious length desu.
>>42663984drop name for OP image I beg you
Am I pulling off the short hair. What vibes am I giving off
>>42673867I think it would be cute if the sides and your bangs were a bit longer. Like the side down to your chin and maybe asymmetrical bangs. You definitely have the face shape for short, short hair>youre much prettier than picrel though
>>42669498>Simple question for me: I am a pooner and I haven't gotten my hair cut at all in like 10 years so I look kind of homeless.

>>42663558just wash your hair in warm water and rinse it with cold one. You don't need to do cold water to clean your hair (unless you have a coloration, then warm and hot water will wash out colours).Also for the water softener you can spray diluted cider vinegar in your hair, keep it a few minutes before rinsing. It helps remove any mineral buildup there may be.
>>42673867youre giving cis lesbian woman. cool and "alternative". has probably lived a more interesting life than most people. if you're nonbinary or something im sorry you look like the kind of person who might say they're nonbinary. and i would respect that. you're definitely a bit boyish, but not in a "you look male" way
>>42674576Using a shampoo in warm water washes out the natural oils that protect you hair.
>>42674604Most shampoo won't clean shit if you only use cold water. You do need to like, remove pollutants and stuff or your hairs will get worse and worse over time.Also too much natural oil and your hair will look bad anyways. Personally if I ever run into the "my hair lacks oil" situation I just use a bit of grapeseed oil. Cold water is only really recommended if you've got a coloration.

hi friends! how r we feelin bout the hair? does it go well with my girlmode or is it too androgynous/faggy lookin? maybe its time for some orange/blondeish highlights again, just to shift the focus a bit away from my face x_x help me nonas..>>42666130make sure ur shampooing enough and consistently enough (also dobule shampooing) to have them clump up less. use a bit of dry shampoo on ur bangs to help keep them nice and low and volumous >>42666208condition them and scrunch them, again just make sure ur shampooing well and that most importantly ur not using a super strong styling product like a strong gel or mousse. make sure they dry well, maybe with a blow dryer to keep them straighter. dry shampoo>>42669209an important part of volume but one that ppl dont notice as much is making sure the hair on top of ur head isnt too flat. maybe ur struggling with that, get some root lift mousse or something from l'oreal profissionel. idk bout ur straight hair type but without product ig u can blow dry upside down with a diffusor to not dry out ur hair too much, dont sleep on damp hair to not flatten the shit out of it, etc. condition well during wash days. and yes sometimes ur hair is rly dense (density is not the same as follicle thickness!!! just a lot of hairs on ur head rly) and layers help with that
>>42668593nah u don't need em get some layers around ur face tho
>>42669209Perms are super common for some added volume, but they can be pricy depending on the salon. Hair volumizing product won't do anything for thick azn hair without lots of layers.
>>42660357Who is this person?
>>42673867you look hot
>>42673867Trans Ghislaine Maxwell??
>>42675029focckkkkkk i wish i looked like you. i look like the bargain bin version of you
>>42675029ur haircut looks like every other theyfab in brooklyn sooo idt it's that andro/faggy . highlights would look great on u too imo
>>42660357how do I manage my frizzy hair?
>>42674781Wtf? How many dudes you be let sizzling in youre hair? The wtf do you do for a living that you need to scrub your hair that hard. Thats why your hair is falling out.
>>42674502But what if I do that and it instantly makes my beard fall out and my tits grow back and makes me look like a lesbian. What if I only pass because of the hair.
I've had a side part my whole life and I'm trying to switch to a middle part but when I try it this bit on one side always separates off and looks bare T_T wtf can I do about this... if I brush it back it just separates with any movement
>>42679026Part your hair how you want, then tie off into two ponytails to hold it in place for a while to set a new part
>>42679281yeah ik I've tried setting it when it's wet and everything. it just feels like there's not as much hair on that side cause of the side part damaging it over time or something.
>>42679026maybe try setting it in place w a flat iron?
>>42670704>Would a scarf or bonnet be more effective than braiding or buns? I do want to get some serious length desu.It's an individual thing. in my case, my hair is quite curly and I'm black so it's a little harder to do high-manipulation styles like braiding. I put it up in a "pineapple"/ponytail and tie a scarf loosely and call it a day. If you're white with a straighter hair texture it might be easier to throw it into a braid and sleep on an inexpensive satin pillowcase. but it's truly up to you. The part of your hair that is going to need the most gentle treatment as you grow it out is the ends. That's the oldest part of your hair strand and has been exposed to the most friction from rough surfaces and wind and brushing, hot water, heat styling, blowdrying, UV, whatever. If you can minimize the damage you get more retention of the growing your hair does without split ends or breaking. Just experiment a little with what's most comfortable for you. Whatever way to make sure your hair is secured a little and isn't ground into a flannel pillowcase all night is fine. I've found a lot of growing out hair without super tattered ends is not so much about particular products or tools as just finding little ways to minimize damage that are EASY for me and relatively pleasant, so I always do it.
>>42682244>I've found a lot of growing out hair without super tattered ends is not so much about particular products or tools as just finding little ways to minimize damage that are EASY for me and relatively pleasant, so I always do it.This is a good way to think about it, thanks Nona.
>>42672922>>42675942me, dummy! :)>>42680887this is going to fry the shit out of the hair eventually but it would work. on bangs it wouldnt really matter that much so perhaps it would be ok>>42669209to actually answer your question and expand on what i typed earlier, get shorter layers!!
