What is porous hair?

GIRLS: WHAT DO I DO WITH MY HAIR?! EMERGENCY!!! 10 POINTS!!!?

  • so im a senior girl in high school, and ive had short hair since my sophomore year. i used to have hair down to my elbows, but i got tired of it, so i cut it into a cute bob just above my shoulders, and ive kept it there ever since. but its starting to get reallllyyy old. i hate the fact that i cant do anything with it at all....especially for prom and homecoming, i hate that i can barely pull it up in a ponytail and every time i do, i have to have like 1000 bobby pins and use a whole can of hairspray to keep it up. so ive been trying to grow it out..but im having some trouble. i have naturally unruly hair. its crazy. there is no wearing it natural or scrunching it. thats why ive straightened it every day since i was like 10. but because i use a blow dryer and straightener on it every day, i get split ends REALLY quick. im talking every 3-4 weeks i have to get them cut off. so i thought awhile ago that i would just let it grow and if i get split ends, i get split ends. i know tons of people who have really long hair that go like a year without getting it trimmed. so thats what ive been trying to do. its only a few days away from january, and i havent got my hair cut one single time since the middle of august. when i got it cut in august, i got it cut to about an inch above my shoulders. now, almost 5 months later, my hair is JUST at my shoulders. i started wondering why it wasnt growing, and i remember hearing the lady who cuts my hair say something like "if you have split ends, it'll seem like your hair isnt growing any because the ends of your hair will just keep breaking off". theres about an inch of split ends on the bottom of my hair, so if i get it cut, my hair will just be back to where it was clear back in august, and i'll have been dealing with split ends all this time for nothing. people have told me that if i get it trimmed every month, it'll keep rid of my split ends and my hair will grow.....but that wont work for me because i get split ends so often. if my hair grows half an inch or so in a month, but i have an inch of split ends that i have to get cut off, my hair wont be getting any longer itll just stay the same length! like i said before, not straightening my hair isnt really an option, even though it causes me to constantly keep split ends. SO MY QUESTION IS...WHAT DO I DO WITH MY HAIR?! i want it to be this long so i can curl it and make it look like this: http://www.hairstylespics.net/wp-content/uploads/2010/10/Lauren-Conrads-Long-Lush-Curls-Hairstyle.jpg but right now my hair looks like this: http://cdn.blogs.sheknows.com/celebsalon.sheknows.com//2009/07/heidi-klum-shoulder-length-hairstyle-blonde-hairstyle-990x1024.jpg SO WHAT DO I DO?! do i get the split ends cut and keep cutting it every month and just hope for it to grow, or do i just keep the split ends? 10 POINTS!!!!!!!!

  • Answer:

    keep the split ends and just let it grow :) so it'll be a little unhealthy for a while, it'll pay off when it's long and gorgeous!

I would get your split cut and then add some extensions to your hair and then you could curl or straighten them along with your natural hair. Also, to help with the split ends, you could use some shampoo and conditioner that specialize in treating split ends and try to use heat protectant whenever you use any hot tool on you hair. That will helpe prevent split ends and any other damage that could be done. Hope this helps and good luck with your hair!!!

1. get your ends trimmed. not a lot, but you will need to trim it before fixing it. 2. change the straightener you are using. for beauty you gotta be ready to give up some cash... you should get one of those new straighteners that use steam to straighten your hair, or something along those lines. that should help. 3. check the shampoo and conditioner you are using. get a repairing shampoo and a deep conditioner. when you use conditioner, use a generous amount on your ends (if you put too much on your scalp it makes your hair oily) and leave it in for 5-10 minutes. 4. buy something to protect your hair from heat styling. (heat guard) put this on your hair before you blow dry (if you do) or straighten it (with a steam straightener I don't think you will need a heat guard. 5. consider a hair mask (similar to a facial mask haha) olive oil rubbed on your hair and left in for 30 mins, avocado mashed and left in your hair for 20 mins, or you can take vitamin e capsules, break them and put them in your hair. also consider taking vitamin e b and d supplements daily. 6. if you still have really bad split ends, just wait for it to grow out but continue with this regimen. you might consider going to a salon then and asking a professional about what they might be able to do for your hair. also try extensions really hope this helps :)

I just got my hair cut today and it's the same length as yours.I haven't gotten my hair cut since august too. There are actually more possibilities than you think. To help take care of the split ends find a new shampoo that specializes in getting rid of split ends. You can take a shower and the braid it, either in 1 big braid or cover your head in little ones. Sleep with it like that and in the morning take them out and you have a wave curl in your hair, or for an easier way buy a crimper and crimp your hair before you leave for school.

try the vitamin BIOTIN, 5 pills a day. you can get it at walmart for cheap ( about 3 or 4 dollars for a full bottle ) you can get "miraculous monai oil " from bath and body works for 16 dollars, but only put this on your hair at night or if you are not going out during the day because it will make your hair look like a greaseball. It will hydrate your hair and might protect from split ends ( i say might because i have not used it long enough to notice, but it makes my hair MUCH healthier looking and feeling. i feel your pain, i'm trying to grow my hair out after hair loss from chemo, and it feels like it is taking SO LONG

I have been in the same position that you are in. I have these crazy bangs that I can't just let dry or they will poof up and if I scrunch it looks even stupider. I'm not sure if you have bangs but I twist them back. Also since you said that you are having a hard time putting your hair up in a ponytail, I recommend putting gel in it when its wet and putting it up. Also you should use a deep conditioning mask such as Garnier Fructis 3 minute Mask once or twice a week. I use this and it makes my hair grow really fast. I also take a daily multivitamin- Teen Advantage for her- it's awesome. Don't keep your split ends!!! They will continue to grow up the hair shaft and make it fall out, so keep trimming. I really hope I helped!!! :) Good Luck!!!!!!

Okay, so either get a wet to dry straightener or just blow dry it straight !!! it wont give you so many split ends! and also, just keep your hair down, and just have them cut of like half of the split ends! and only if you fell you havveee to also. you should use http://www.amazon.com/Herbal-Essences-Relationship-Protector-6-Ounce/dp/B0013KYRIM it is a split end protector Herbal Essences Long Term Relationship Shampoo & Conditioner - split end protector shampoo and conditioner

damn that is tough! i suggest, you get hair extensions. and you just clip them in and your hair will be alot longer. as for the split ends part, your just going to have to let grow out slowly with the split ends. it will grow out, but it will take a while.

There is always a few options you could get hair extensions or leave the split ends and let it grow. Or I personally like this hair style. http://coolhairstyle.net/hairstyle-stacked-bob/
