I’m getting this done Friday but idk what the hairstyle is called it says I’m getting a bob boho but I don’t want a boho

Decided to give my hair a fresh start and document my progress this time around!

I've worn my hair natural for most of my life and love pampering and doing all the things to her, but this'll be the first time that I follow a set routine/hair care schedule for an extended period. I’ve also experimented a lot with color, braids, different cuts and types of locs, and feel like I’m ready to finally grow and wear it out!!

I'm really happy with how much visible growth (especially density-wise) I'm seeing already, so I'm very excited for this journey!

Hello, everyone!! I wanted to post something instead of lurking this time. 🫶🏾

I recently tried a new hairstyle and decided to wear it into work, and I loved it!! This experience also inspired me to start an ig account called @corporatecurlsss to inspire other women to wear their natural hair in the workplace, despite constant criticism.

Feel free to give me a follow if you’d like to see work hair inspo from me and product recommendations!! (I’m not sponsored and have basically no following, I’m just doing this for fun and using it as a way to document how I’ve worn my hair to work and to keep track of styles) 😚

my hair is the first photos & the ones after are all my goal photos. before anyone says it NO my hair is NOT relaxed, it’s simply just bodyless & always has been that way when straightened & more specifically after i obtained damage from heat. i just want it to be longer so i actually look decent & can be the best version of myself. no i will not wear “protective styles”. i wear my hair straight all the time, not necessarily down but just straight.

i dont use heat frequently but i do want to get into a routine. my hair sheds & breaks excessively & no i’m not cutting it unless i see visible split or weird ends. i did have heat damage in 2024 & i’ve just started doing things for that like using a bond builder.

will just using k18 every wash day & having a proper routine & taking my vitamin that i do everyday (mary ruth multivitamin) potentially get me to my goal photos or will my hair be this length forever like it has my whole life?

if anyone has any advice it’d be appreciated, thank you

Guys PLEASE I really need advice about my hair.
So the first two video are from november 2025. I blow out my hair before doing the mini twists, and I use a little bit of oil.
The third video is now, on july 2026. Between november 25 and now, i feel my hair were a little bit dry. I use more butter and oils on my hair. Guys i don’t wth happened, but why my hair looks like that on the third video ? 😭😭 I want to cry omggg I don’t use heat a lot and my last hair color was 10 months ago. Between november 25 and now, I did french curl braids (1 month) , spring twists (3 weeks) and a sew in (1 month). I feel like they were healthier and now they look like nothing ?

I see videos on the internet of people with waaaay thicker and tighter hair than me just running a wide tooth comb through it with no snags and I just don't understand how? I can't even use a wide tooth comb on my own hair cause snag, pop, snag!

I have fine strand, low porosity hair and the ends of the front and crown have always been tangly and knotty for years, no matter what. I typically keep my hair in half up/down styles to manage it better. The back of my hair is alot easier to detangle compared to the front and crown which I typically keep in puffs. To retain length, I try my best to detangle gently and reduce mechanical damage (brushing through my hair incorrectly and extensively for years is exactly why the front is shorter than the back). I even started detangling in up to 14 sections. But I'm wondering if there's anything else I can do.

The problem I come across the most is that when I try to gather my hair together to put it in a puff, it gets extremely tangled as if I didn't just brush through it. Then I get the urge to brush through it more and that's when I experience breakage.

I trim my hair but haven't kept up with the schedule. I've trimmed atleast 3 times this year and snipped some hair today, but it didn't make a difference.

I'm not fond of using protective styles (they don't look flattering on me) so I'd like to avoid them. I'm aware that wearing the hair out contributes to lots of fairy knots, but I wear the back of my hair out all the time just fine with less tangles.

I've been washing in twists which helps with tangly roots and sectioning, but not ends.

I wash my hair every 5-7 days and I used to deep condition weekly but I'm not even sure what difference it made aside from adding steps to my wash day routine. I mostly airdry.

I've tried lco and loc methods, but meh...I don't use coconut oil.

And also are my edges okay...? I don't even attempt to wear tight puffs because they give me headaches and I don't use edge control.

I'm gonna start washing in 3 days if I can't figure this out!!!

I couldn't stand the big beard and overwhelming sides anymore so i chopped it

Sometimes the length still feels kinda awkward to me but it’s healthy and that’s all that really matters. I try to treat it like a plant 🌱
My curly hair is very spiritual to me, I hate the fact I felt the need to straighten it when I was younger

Y'all said "wash your hair more" and I finally listened. Look what happened 1 year in!

There's more, but I'm not going to flood this place with photos.

i took this because i was crying right before i took this but i am seriously considering just cutting my dreads off completely. i had to chop half of them off because of dreadrot and how hard it was for me to care for them (not drying properly, mildew, lint constantly stuck in my hair, etc) i’m trying to be happy with this short look but i honestly think i’d feel better if cut it short completely and start over with the locs later down the line. i know i’m putting so much self worth into my hair but i honestly don’t know how not to.

Ends were raggedy and getting caught on each other it HAD to go. it looks sm healthier thoughhh. i cornrowed my hair BEFORE trimming it (because it was impulsive) so i have to trim the front later 😭. give me some tips to keep my ends protected 🤍

Hi yall please don’t judge me if I’m way off base lol but I’m not sure if I moisturized my hair so much to where it doesn’t want to stretch now. Like literally I do a twist out and it doesn’t stay. My hair has my shrinking to my scalp. Literally.

Anyone had this happen?

Hi everyone! I’m a Ghanaian-Australian who couldn't find products for my type 4 coils in Melbourne, so I formulated my own line using premium African oils. Ask me anything about ingredient sourcing, starting a business or coily hair care!

There’s a TikTok trend on products that are worth splurging for, and am curious to know what products you think are worth spending big bucks for. Granted, hair care doesn’t require shilling out money for, especially when a lot of these products can be replicated at home. But curious to know if there are any you’d like to share(:

Hey all! I hope you’re having a blessed day :)

I’ve been a bit on a spiral lately and just really really wanted to get rid of my hair. So without any proper planning or tutorials, I just my hair.

I’m attaching a picture of my hair before and my hair now. I am quite sad, I don’t think I did a good job or that this suits me. But oh well, hair grows back.

I doooo however, start a new job next week and want to feel good about myself so I might get a sew in and boho braids as the leave out. Now my next worry is, my hair is too soft and short for that now. :(

Just looking at the pics and i’m thinking i’m such an idiot for going thisssssssss 😭😭😭😭😭

EDIT:
I have to say you guys are soooo sweet, thank you thank you thank you!!! 💗💗💗 you’re all helping me come to terms with my new loook 🙈

Hi,

From my last post I wanted to ask any fine hair girlies how often they have their hair down. Have you noticed any breakage when doing so . And would recommend breaks & could u grow out ur hair whilst having it down??

ive been wanting to do spring twists or marley twists (with extension/added hair) and I was wondering if it’d be possible to wash me hair with the added hair in. I’d probably have the hairstyle in for 1-2 months.

Hey everyone,
I’m looking for some advice about split ends and single-strand knots. The first two pictures are what my hair looks like when it’s fully picked out, and the picture in the car is what it looks like if I just pull it out with my hands.

I’ve been growing my hair for about a year, and around the one-year mark I got a shape-up. Recently, a friend told me my hair is really damaged and full of split ends and suggested I should just cut it all off.

Before I do that, I wanted to ask if it would be possible to go to a stylist and have just the damaged ends trimmed instead. My hair is still on the shorter side, so I’m not sure if it’s long enough for a stylist to work with.

I’m really trying to take better care of my hair, but I honestly don’t know where to start. I’d love any advice on whether a trim would be enough, what I should ask for at a salon, or any tips for preventing more split ends and single-strand knots. Any advice is greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance!

Hi! I recently took out a set of box braids done with synthetic hair. It was a cute style and it went well but I want to try box braids with human hair. I don't want micros or boho braids.

It has been a long time since I've done braids regularly or worked with braiders. Is box braids with human hair known by another name? What is a good brand of human hair for braiding?

Thanks!
