Don't know if you are familiar with it but it's basically a technique for cutting curly/wavy hair that is tailored to your specific curl patterns. </p> <p>I attached some before and afters from Google images. </p> <p><a href="http://www.devacurl.com/salon-stylist-search.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.devacurl.com/salon-stylist-search.html</a> </p> [attach=8671/18/p6fv2v.600x600.IMG_1816.JPG] [attach=8671/18/p6fv2x.600x600.0tWLhgN.jpg] https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/haircut-help#post-2813236 Fri, 30 Mar 2018 20:16:02 +0000 ladybee 2813236@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think you’re hair is beautiful. I would keep most of the length and add subtle layers. I’d invest my money in product to help it look a little more polished. But seriously it’s beautiful. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/haircut-help#post-2813212 Fri, 30 Mar 2018 16:45:48 +0000 Iced Tea 2813212@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Maybe an angled LOB--longer around your face? I think that'd look good. </p> <p>My hair is wavy, and I just got an asymmetrical angled bob. I've been getting lots of compliments on it. I also did an undercut to remove thickness, and it's really shortened my prep time!</p> <p>Something like this maybe?<br /> [attach=5302/18/p6fb4c.500x498.12-disconnected-wavy-ombre-bob.jpg] </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/haircut-help#post-2813201 Fri, 30 Mar 2018 15:29:56 +0000 Hypatia 2813201@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>If you have the money, I'd do a keratin treatment to make it super silky and keep the length. Or maybe put in a few subtle layers. </p> <p>My hair is similar, and when I cut it short it turns into a triangle. So I vote not to go short unless you know how it will react. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/haircut-help#post-2813199 Fri, 30 Mar 2018 15:24:39 +0000 LCTBQE 2813199@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>your natural hair is gorrrgeous !! </p> <p>I'd do a messy-ish shoulder length with subtle layers only because I can't imagine your your waves could become bangs or a bob. but a lob is still a thing and that could be cute? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/haircut-help#post-2813139 Fri, 30 Mar 2018 12:31:37 +0000 jennlin821 2813139@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p><a href="http://www.short-haircut.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/01/18.Short-Curly-Hairstyle.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://www.short-haircut.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/01/18.Short-Curly-Hairstyle.jpg</a></p> <p>Go short!<br /> I have similar hair to yours - maybe more wavy than curly. I chopped off 10" after DD was born. I went about as short as the pic. (Not my pic. I'm at work and can't upload my own)<br /> I love it, it was easy and looked good whether I had time to style it or not. </p> <p>Also, I just started using Argan oil on my hair - I don't have time to use the hairdryer in the morning, so I put a little on my comb and run it through my hair. It has help to cut down on air-dry frizzy-ness and static electricity. Ask your hairstylist what kind of products would be good for you!<br /> (I have relatively fine, very dry hair.)</p> <p>Good luck! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/haircut-help#post-2813125 Fri, 30 Mar 2018 11:59:34 +0000 raspberries 2813125@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Anyone want to help me figure out how to cut my hair? Attaching a picture of what it looks like now - basically just long and wavy, a little on the thick side.</p> <p>I haven't had a haircut in probably a year and a half - at least since before my second son was born in Feb 2017, and I feel so far out of the loop on what's fashionable that I might as well be under a rock. I have a haircut scheduled for Tuesday, but I have no idea what to ask for. I feel like I should be making the most of this instead of just asking for a trim. Side swept bangs? A bob? A lob (is that still a thing)? Pictures would be appreciated! </p> [attach=4236/18/p6exva.413x600.26026119_10105480550564673_2986620041586377173_o.jpg] https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hair-clips-for-fine-hair#post-2723405 Wed, 12 Apr 2017 11:43:38 +0000 PawPrints 2723405@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Grace: I wasn't certain which kind of clip is an alligator clip, but apparently it's what I just bought!

Now the test will be whether they stay in at daycare all day. Hope so. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hair-clips-for-fine-hair#post-2723249 Wed, 12 Apr 2017 08:56:55 +0000 Mamaof2 2723249@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@PawPrints: do you have a seam ripper?

So far DD tolerates the comb ok. She gets crazy matted hair from her car seat so I take a comb everywhere. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hair-clips-for-fine-hair#post-2723140 Tue, 11 Apr 2017 22:13:50 +0000 Mrs. Pajamas 2723140@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>What about brushes? Dd hates me combing but she wakes up with a crazy mat almost every morning. I made some detangler spray that works but I wish I could just brush and not bother with the spray. When I was little my mom used Mason Pearson brush but they are seriously $100!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hair-clips-for-fine-hair#post-2723136 Tue, 11 Apr 2017 21:58:05 +0000 Grace 2723136@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Alligator clips!

My DDs have been blessed with an abundance of hair. They both fuss periodically, but I think they adjust to the pulling. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hair-clips-for-fine-hair#post-2723096 Tue, 11 Apr 2017 19:49:22 +0000 Mrs. Lion 2723096@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Littlebit7: that's how we do it too. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hair-clips-for-fine-hair#post-2723062 Tue, 11 Apr 2017 18:34:23 +0000 Littlebit7 2723062@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My LO has a ton of really fine hair down past her shoulder blades. She's 2. She hates stuff in her hair. The only thing that I have found to hold realllllly well are the tiny clear elastics. I've found it best to try to pull the hair out from the elastic vs trying to pull the elastic out of her hair. I pull a couple of big chunks out from just behind the band, and then I can work the band out easier. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hair-clips-for-fine-hair#post-2723031 Tue, 11 Apr 2017 16:46:27 +0000 starlitsky 2723031@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@PawPrints: rubber bands didn't work for us either because they would tangle in his hair when trying to get them out</p> <p>the lined alligator clips were the easiest to put in and take out without pain! </p> [attach=6461/17/oo9lwv.522x522.61q6UwH6a-L._SX522_.jpg] https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hair-clips-for-fine-hair#post-2723013 Tue, 11 Apr 2017 15:48:57 +0000 Mrs. Lion 2723013@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@PawPrints: hmm...my lol doesn't love having them taken out but doesn't cry.
