Gigi asks:
I hope this is not taken the wrong way but .. you always advise to visit a professional hair salon. I may just be the unluckiest person on earth but I never got good advice from salons visited. I paid full
fee every-time and we are talking 7 - 8 different salons.. None have
covered grey fully, they apologise and I needed to go back for second application.
My hair is curly and frizz prone. When I asked what I can do for a softer look I was told there was nothing.. I went into a salon on holiday and they relaxed it for me. Magic! Please do consider this as visiting salon is not cheap and I am sorry to say I found incompetence throughout. I am still compromising and not happy but gave up and learnt to live with it. As lighter shades never covered my resistant grey, I end up (at salon!) using close to black colour. As I had highlights at some point, there is a difference between the dark roots area and lighter rest of long curly hair. Quite unsightly. As for keeping hair in good shape, its sites like yours where I found the best advice.
Hope this is cool and that you can help. All I want is my natural warm, golden brown hair throughout with greys covered. I would also like to reduce volume overall. Can long curly, thick frizzy hair be thinned?
Answered By: Darren Messias
Ok let’s hopefully answer your questions for you.
Firstly long curly/frizzy hair can be thinned, either by having long layers cut in (but this can create more volume if the layers are cut too short) or you could have your hair thinned using either thinning scissors or a feather blade. Both of these will help reduce the weight in your hair and hopefully reduce the volume and frizz. I also would strongly advise investing in some Sebastian Potion 9 which is a leave in conditioner/ styling product which is fantastic and calming frizzy and curly hair. ...More >
Right onto the colour.
This is a little more tricky, as it sounds like the problem your hair is VERY resistant to colour. Unfortunately lighter shades are going to have little or no effect on your colour which is why they end up having to use darker colours.
These are only suggestions and are not guaranteed to work but firstly I would advise an appointment with an Wella MCA/MCE graduate, who is an expert in colour, and also perhaps they may suggest ’pre softening’ your hair to help with the resistance and there is also a specific range of Wella colours that are for resistant hair which should be worth a try.
Hope this helps.
Snehal asks:
My hair is black, thick thick, curly and frizzy, it reaches below my shoulders. I’ve tried colour streaks 5 years ago, I have not tried any treatments for my hair yet. Unfortunately my hair grows very slowly and it’s two or three years before it really looks long (because of the curls); right now it looks puffy and frizzy, though I use appropriate lotions. I have a medium forehead. Lately I am experiencing a lot of dandruff and hair loss problem. I am planning to go for straightening of my hair. Please advice.
Answered By: Gary Sunderland
If you are experiencing a lot of hair loss, please wait before having a straightening cream applied. Go visit a good quality salon for a professional consultation first so they can asses your scalp and hair. ...More >
It is not unusual to find "A lot "of hair coming out, you typically loose 100 hairs a day and this can seem quite allot when you have long hair.
As your hair grows slowly then it may be coming to the end of its life cycle which may explain the slow growth and loss.
As stated above, please visit a good quality salon, (go to a few for the consultation and choose the one that you feel most comfortable with and gives the best advice).
There is a great guy I know in USA called Nelson Chan who has a salon in Hollywood. See if you can visit his site for advice.
Good luck
Megan asks:
I have average curly hair but it is straight at the roots and gets curlier gradually. I had layers but they are growing out now and my hair is pretty thick. I was thinking of getting it relayered and maybe getting straight bangs but am anxious about the outcome. My hair is also pretty frizzy unless I use some sort of defrizzer.
Not sure what to do!
Answered By: Darren Messias
You should definitely have layers put back in as this will help reduce the thickness of your hair, and I would also invest in some high quality leave in conditioner to help with the frizziness.
As far as having a bang/fringe cut in, be aware that this could make your hair even more curly and difficult to straighten.
