Complete Guide to Hair

[Deleted member 281]

Great thread bro. Is the hair I have currently decent? If not, what kind of haircut should I get?

 

[sorrowfulsad]

I have one week off of school now so the perfect time to ldar and try out no shampoo. Good thread as always nibba

If any of you guys get dandruff like me, go buy "Nizoral" shampoo. I've tried several anti-dandruff shampoos and this is easily the best, just don't use it more than once or twice a week (you shouldn't need to anyway).

Also I disagree with OP about not going to a barber. Some of them know their shit and can give you a really nice cut, but you might have to experiment and try a few different ones. Locals are the best, stay away from chains.

HAIR QUALITY
if you have shorter to medium length hair (5-10 inches on top) then stop using shampoo. I get a lot of questions or even doubtful hate coming my way when I mention this around here. So shut up and hear me out: I am a firm believer that our hair is not meant to be subjected to harsh shampoos and conditioners and should only be “washed” with water daily. What I like to do is wear a cap to the gym and sweat my ass off. Then I go to shower and brush my hair as I rinse it with lukewarm water. Do not use hot water as it is damaging to the hair. Yes, it will feel greasy or weighed down for a week or so, but just push through it. Soon you will have glossy, beautiful hair. If you want to go above and beyond, buy a water softener that you can attach to your shower-head or directly to your water heater to prevent mineral build up in hair. Personally I don’t use this because regular water is sufficient for own needs.

Gonna do this for a week now, I have dry hair so lets see if it works. Time to NOSHAMPOOMAXX

Yes i know, reddit tier just get a haircut etc etc, but hair is one of the biggest halos you can have, and if you have an autism cut or shaved head, a good hair style can make you ascend 2 point at least.

Alright let’s start with hair itself

Personally I don’t use this because regular water is sufficient for own needs. Supplement bovine collagen powder (2.5 g a day). Dissolve it in warm water and drink it before bed. This will help hair growth and quality along with other benefits such as increased strength and better sleep.

HAIR RECOVERY (BALDING)
If you are balding (receding hairline), buy a derma roller (mentioned in my skin guide) along with minoxidil as your first line of defense. https://moreplatesmoredates.com has some great articles on this method, in addition to other great hair care / anitbalding regimens in general for that matter. If minoxidil and derma rollers aren’t working and your hair is thinning all over, etc., go with finasteride. Take 1-5 mg daily and you will see a difference over a 3-6 month span. This can be ordered from any online pharmacy for quite cheap. Of course the next line of defense is dutasteride, which is stronger. As for both of these, less than 2% of men have any testosterone related problems (ex ED, loss of strength, trouble ejaculating, etc). If you’re worried consult your doctor. If none of this works, start saving for a hair graft / transplant (very expensive) which you can also talk to your doc about. I should also mention that it’s especially important to monitor changes in your hair weekly, because if it gets worse and you don’t notice, you’ll be playing catch up with the norwood reaper and no one wants that.

Now that you have a full head of suitable length of glossy, perfect hair, let's talk about styles...

CHOOSING A STYLE
A very important factor and one of the things you want to plan for from the get go. The best styles are the ones that fit your personal face shape the best. There are 6 of face shapes: Oval, round, square, heart, rectangle (aka oblong), and diamond.

1. Oval
Face is longer than it is wide, with the jaw being a bit more narrow than the forehead. The jaw is slightly narrower than the forehead and tapers down towards the chin. Lines are fairly soft.

2. Round
Baby face basically. Like oval but with vertical and horizontal ratios being almost identical

3. Square
Like a round face but with hard edges. Prominent jawline and compact mid face

4. Heart
Prominent forehead tapering down into narrow or pointed chin

5. Rectangle
like oval but with sharper lines. leads to typical horseface appearance

6. Diamond
like oval but cheekbones are widest part. narrow forehead and chin area with angular bone structure. usually somewhat large gonial angle and high hyoid bone

so now for the important part: what cut should you get for each?

OVAL:

• very versatile. one of the most “flexible” face shapes
• feel free to experiment
• tend to look better with short styles
• caution: stay away from too much height/volume on top

ROUND:

• keep hair short on sides and back, long on top
• volume/height products are your best friend
• grow facial hair

SQUARE

• hair should aim to soften harsh lines of upper face
• messy, medium length hair is the best bet
• best type of shape to pull off a buzzcut
• use facial hair to soften harsh jaw angle

HEART

• stay the fuck away from short hair
• use long or medium length up top swept over to mask large forehead
• use facial hair to fill out jaw

RECTANGLE

• stay away from short sides or cuts that give volume up top
• don’t grow a beard
• can pull off slicked back hair

DIAMOND

• go with a fringe
• long on top coverings some of the forehead
• can grow facial hair or not, up to you

If you’re still not sure, instagram models, tumblr fashion blogs, and pinterest have so many hair styles that you can take inspiration from, so don’t limit yourself to the above.

IMPORTANT: go to a stylist to get it cut; 50$ down the drain but worth it. Stay away from barbers or great clips, as they butcher your hair and DO NOT GIVE A FUCK about what you want. They are paid less than shit and have no idea what they’re doing, which is reflected in the price.

Do you know of any nootropic which doesn't cause hair loss?

Modafinizil even 100 mg daily only on weekdays causes hair loss & thinning even with the amount of hair, skin, nail vitamins I take.
When I stop taking it & only take my vitamins & use either amla or minoxidil & anti hair loss shampoo & conditioner my hair grows back & thickens up but that's after about say 2-3 weeks though. Also I have to cease the modafinizil for that amount of time as well.

i got medium-long hair, I've realized that and just stopped using shampoo often, especially since I got silicone taped to my head anyway lol. I don't like the look of over-oily hair, but I like the fact that it weighs your hair down, because of my specific curtain pushed back style whatever you wanna call it. Anyone got any products that give weight for 'sculpting' but don't give the negative effects like oil does?

Matte clay or whatever it's called. Super light but gives a good hold. I've started wearing my hair like that too

Is castor oil legit?

For what dude?

The barber always puts parts too fucking high, and greatclip literally doesn't liste to me. Definetly gonna go to a stylist.

[Deusmaximus]

The 2% finasteride side effect statistic is cope. I think 20% is more accurate. So many guys have really fucked their life with this medicine. Just google "post finasteride syndrome" and the stories behind. Its chemical castration, since dht is so important for strenght and libido. Nevertheless, I will start this week with this dirt. A bald head would mean castration with me as well. In addition, not only women but also work and other colleagues would despise me.
