What about your hair makes you mad????

[DARKMARTIAN]

Sorry if there is a thread covering this already. But one of the things that frusterates me is when im braiding it and im not paying attention and one of the weaves is loose and sticking out and im already like five more weaves past it....

Ooooooooooooo...that gets under my skin!!..:D:D

[*Aoife*]

My hair getting caught up in my hoodie. It's not long enough to tuck it anywhere but its long enough to annoy me!

[Anywhere]

My layers poking out of my braids. i keep trying to tuck them in but it always fails.
the brassy ends from my last dye job back in october '08 standing out against my normal hair when its bunned.
how it frizzes out at the sides of my head.
the extreme taper due to the layers.

[RoseRedDead]

Nothing that really makes me angry, just annoyed:


How fuzzy my braids get
How tangly my hair gets
How dry my hair gets
How short my hair is

[young&reckless]

My first every Henna gloss is fading in color.

Time to do another!

[gnegirl]

Its absolute refusal to bend when dry.

[Fiferstone]

When I have my hair up in a nice updo...and I then notice i've got a "lump" at the scalp and need to take everything down again, smooth it out, and start over.

Argh...hate those.

[Themyst]

I wish my hair wasn't so light and flyaway.

[KatanyaG]

1. My scalp, which is currently driving me up the wall. ;)
2. How tangly my hair is before I oil it.
3. All the layers that my cousin cut into it when she last went scissor mad. :(
4. That it's taking so dang long to grow!

[Carolyn]

I don't think anything about it makes me angry. Annoyed sometimes, but angry no. I don't like my 1C waves. I want it to be straight without having to straighten it. I also get annoyed when I get scalp show through with a bun. I have to carefully take a fine tooth comb and smooth the hair out. Pink show through scalp is not pretty.

[pepperminttea]

Old almost-grown out layers poking out of braids is definitely at the top of the list for me. Second, how quickly the roots at the front get oily (typical this happens somewhere impossible to hide).

But generally I'm pretty happy with my hair. :)

[HildeMV]

Tangles galore!

It was worse when I was little. I hated brushing my hair, so I had a lot of tangles, looking like a little troll. My hair is still tangle-happy.

[Vianka]

My hair is strong and when it decides it wants to stick out in all sorts of directions there is no stopping it. It does exactly as it pleases.

[ZaBasDa]

My hair reacting weird with the water at college and not being as curly as it should be.

[Eden_Rayn]

1. my cowlick
2. How dry the ends get when the season changes
3. Tangles (this has been getting better)

[RocketDog]

The little kinky hairs at my nape that stick out and look gnarly no matter what I do to them...

[klcqtee]

The dye job that is growing out. It's brassy-copper. Ugh.

[Fractalsofhair]

I just wish my hair would decide if it's straight, curly or wavy.

[Fillette]

I get really annoyed with shrinkage! I wish I could keep my curls AND my length.

[RecklessCharlie]

Ahh the infamous Braid Killing Layers from Hell. Hated they are!

Very annoying cowlick that causes a stupid looking part at the back of my head.

Short, fine, never growing hairs at the hairline. Hairs that have, on occasion, made me want to buzz cut all my hair off just to be free of them.

[masterofmidgets]

I have one lock that never lays smooth when I bun - it's always sticking out at a funny angle and I have to re-do it over and over to get it to look right. And I hate getting all the way to the bottom of a braid and realizing the hair at the top is too loose and unraveling itself.

[marajade]

I love having bangs, but when they get a little too long they stop cooperating and they "swoosh" a lot? I guess that's the cowlick coming out.

I also hate the "brassiness" my hair can have.

[Finaleofseem]

At my current almost-collar-bone length, my waves WILL NOT behave. They're not uniform and stick out at all kinds of odd angles.

Can't wait to be ponytail length again.

[akurah]

When it gets caught in things. Lately it favors zippers, but it has also gotten caught in my Xbox 360 (don't ask), in my bra, in my desk, in chairs, and especially on the seats on public transit. It always manages to be a single strand that is nonetheless still attatched to my scalp (ow) and manages to get caught despite the bulk being in a braid.

Oh man.....single strand hair pulls....I hate that..:p:p

I also hate the the fact that even now if it hits my arm just right ill think its a spider and freak out....:o:o

[MsBubbles]

Nothing makes me fly into a rage more than trying to french braid my own hair. I have never been able to do it. Each time I try I end up with clumps of hair in my hands, I'm in tears and I throw stuff. Immature, I know.

[Carina]

That it looks so thick in pictures.But is so thin when I do my ponytail or bun not to mention my slim braid.gggggrrrr:mad:.I also get mad at it for not growing at the moment.Hate when it stalls.:o

[23_seconds]

||||||||||

[peachrose]

I sometimes get pretty frustrated with all the different textures in my hair, especially when trying to wear it down.

[Elenna]

After 2.5 years there is STILL red-brown dye on my hair! The dye that never dies! Grrrr!!!

[Paliele]

The little fuzzy hairs on top that never lie flat when I make an updo.

[yogachic]

My short, curly, pieces on the sides that must break off or is new growth, that stick out in funky ways when my hair is in a half up, or a ponytail.

[mira-chan]

Nothing really. My hair itself is fine. I wish my skin wasn't so sensitive to stuff so that I didn't have to check ingredients on everything so much.

[HildeMV]

Is there a what about you makes your hair mad thread? :p

[Adrienne]

When it gets caught on things,

( It's not even long, its just the texture that makes it get caught on things alot. mostly like a nail sticking out of a wall. a crack in one of plastic chairs @ work, little stupid annoying places most people dont think about.)

SLOW GROWTH....UGG.

[ravenreed]

The only thing I absolutely hate is the way my hair pokes my back and neck when I braid it. Even when I keep the split ends to a minimum, I can still feel pokies. Other than that, I am pretty okay with my hair right now. Even the layers sticking out of my braids are not too bad at the moment.

[Konstifik]

I can't do the sock bun (and other buns) because my hair is too thin! :justy:

[pradabacon]

Tangles tangles tangles! The slightest movement after I brush or comb and they are back again. What to do?

[Siana]

I hate my layers! I love braiding hair, but I can never braid the length of my hair because my layers stick out all over the place, and since the ends of the layers are not secured with an elastic, my braids always come undone!

[Heavenly Locks]

Those sticky outy bits by my temples/ears that look like water buffalo horns when I wear buns. GAH!! :justy:

[WaimeaWahine]

Is there a what about you makes your hair mad thread? :p

My hair told me to tell you, "Nothing I do is good enough for her! Sheesh!" :lol:

[prittykitty]

My obnoxious curls that want to go wherever they please. I am hoping this problem will end once my hair gets much longer and the curls are weighed down.

[pdy2kn6]

My layers, layers, very wonky layers... but from saturday next week...no more will they reak havock on my hair journey

[Lucky]

My cowlick on the top of my head. When my hair gets dirty the hair separates and it looks like a weird bald spot. That same spot also gets really tender when my hair is dirty.

[RancheroTheBee]

My hair hasn't made me very mad lately. We have been cooperating quite nicely for a little while, which is quite rare.

However, the layers ARE quite annoying sometimes.

[DARKMARTIAN]

WOW!....I gotta tell ya'll...I had no idea that layers were such a problem. Im assuming because they havent been one for me for some time now. I can very much see how layers in a braid could cause problems though. I can just about braid all the way down though with no stick outs.....but another thing that annoys me ..(and forgive me for probably not using the correct terminology)....is when I do a braid and get down to the near bottom and realize that one of the three bunches or locks...wasnt big enough and virtually runs out before the others. Sorry for the very "male" explaination but I know you LHC'ers understand what I mean though...:o

[Ina]

Sometimes I love my layers, but in braids I hate them sticking out

[Loviatar]

I get downhearted by:
The lack of my old 4 inch circumference.
My layer that sticks out of my braid (It may be a damaged section or it may be a layer thats not grown out yet - I'm honestly not sure)

but I only really get angry when my hair just will not go up.

[embee]

I'm not angry or mad, just sad that my hair seems to be at terminal growth now.... and has been for a couple of years. Bummer, that. At least it got (just barely) to classic before it quit! :)

[JaneinMarch]

That every time I start paying attention to it, something seems to happen to keep me from my goal. Had major sheds in '06 and '08, but it was health/stress related. There will be no problems this time!!!!
:pray:

[JamieLeigh]

My biggest frustration is that my current lifestyle (stay-at-home-mom to five small kids) is such that I'm unable to comfortably wear my hair down at this length (about halfway between classic and mid-thigh)........yet I LOVE to wear it loose. :( One day my kids will be old enough that I won't have to constantly bend over to get a tete-a-tete. :p

[longhairdream]

My hair getting caught in my glasses ! :p

[Themyst]

My hair getting caught in my glasses ! :p

Ahh, yes! This happens with my sunglasses. :(

[Rahenna]

The wispy bits that get pulled out from behind my ears every time I take my glasses off! And then no one wants to tell me my hair is sticking out. :D

[hmmm]

Right now, the only thing bothering me about my hair is that it's much too short. Other than that, times when it sticks out and looks messy. Which brings me back to: it's much too short to just put in a pony tail and forget about it. Sigh.

[maria_asa]

-That it's so thin
-The heavy taper
-That it's so light that it just flies away if left loose

[UP Lisa]

There are two things about my hair/scalp that have always driven me crazy:

1. Oily Scalp
2. Extremely Tangly Hair

Other than that, it's great.

[Shastrix]

I hate my hair texture being so varied, the wirey curly hairs always tangle up with the fine straight hairs and knot which leads to loads of snappage and white dots. :mad

I also get irritated by the sheer volume of hair I have and how frizzy it can get when the weather is wet or humid, and the short curly bits at my temples and the nape of my neck with make wearing my hair back or up look messy. I also miss the natural paltinum blond hair I had 10 years ago. :(

[KarpatiiSiv]

When you've done a really neat and tidy bun or braid then you feel 3 or 4 hairs pulling and you just can't find exactly where they are to loosen them.http://yoursmiles.org/msmile/girls/m04121.gif (http://yoursmiles.org/m-girls.php)http://yoursmiles.org/msmile/girls/m04109.gif (http://yoursmiles.org/m-girls.php)

[Toadstool]

Too short
Cowlicks
I hate my natural colour- it's too dark

[prittykitty]

WOW!....I gotta tell ya'll...I had no idea that layers were such a problem. Im assuming because they havent been one for me for some time now. I can very much see how layers in a braid could cause problems though.

Sorry for the very "male" explaination but I know you LHC'ers understand what I mean though...:o
I have layers and like them. They seem to give my hair a style while it grows out and they help to keep my curls a little calm. I also don't braid my hair though.

[jera]

Tangles galore!

It was worse when I was little. I hated brushing my hair, so I had a lot of tangles, looking like a little troll. My hair is still tangle-happy.

With me it's tangles from bedhead. :( One side in front, where the hairs are naturally shorter anyway, stick straight up when I wake from sleep and only gelling controls it. Bah !! :rolleyes:

[Fairlight63]

What I don't like about my hair is:
I am trying to grow out my bangs - so they are at a awkward stage. They have do direction to them, they go every which way unless pinned back.
The short hairs by my ears don't curl, they just stick out. I wish that I had not cut them for fringe around the face.
My hair is too fine & thin, I have to watch to make sure that the "gap" is covered on top of my head where I have a bad cowlick.

[harley mama]

I am pretty much content with my hair no matter how it behaves. I have grown to love and accept it as is.

[AutumnSky]

When I'm trying to put it up in a ponytail in a space that's too small, and my ends wrap around my wrist as I'm brushing it back..

OR when I'm detangling it post-wash, move my head the wrong way, and get damp hair stuck to the front of my ribcage so firmly that I can't move my arm... (actually, that' one's usually more amusing than annoying, but not always....)

[ladycatpurrs]

I love my hair BUT..the front pieces, some of the canopy, are stick straight and the rest of my hair has spirals, almost cork screws. I used to go to a salon and there would be raves over the curls but little do they know that one gust of wind and the two types of hair grab onto each other for dear life. Horrible tangles, snarls and mats. Plus, when I wear it down it looks like a 4 year old cut it in the back, the curly parts look shorter than the straight bits.

[Pifkin]

So many tangles. :mad:

[Bller]

Mine tangles very much but the worst part is that it grows very very slow.

[Asocialisten]

The fact that I will wake up with dreadlocks if I forget to braid to before going to sleep.

[Asocialisten]

* if I forget to braid it etc. Sorry.

[vanity_acefake]

I hate the fact that i can spend ages curling my hair only for it to go straight again within half an hour. It's poker straight and thats the way it likes to be no matter what i think! I also hate the fact that the grey hairs i am suddenly growing are pure white, wirey and stick up in the air as if to say look at me!

[Taika]

I hate that it grows so slowly... but besides that Im quite happy about it usually. :)

[Kris Dove]

It's so fine and thin!

It gets greasy so quickly, and looks flat the day after it's been washed. I like to blowdry, so I wish washes would last longer.

That cows' lick stops bangs sitting nicely.

The wurliness and unruliness of my hairline hairs. The rest of my hair is straight and I wouldn't mind them being curly if they only matched. They stop my hair looking tidy if I tie it back as they ping out at the sides.

And the dirty blonde colour looks greasy if there's any product like gel on it, which prevents me taming those annoying hairline hairs.

It's fragile and the ends split easily.

Phew, that's a long list!

[Belisarius]

Tangles. Sometimes I wish I would have stick straight 1a hair.
Combing is difficult.

[LoversLullaby]

My bangs.
I still can't figure out what to do with them!

[GoddesJourney]

It doesn't stay up and it just doesn't grow fast enough for me to cut off the remaining damage without it being too short for maintenance.

[duckish]

My ridiculously enthusiastic cowlicks which make it impossible for me to have cute bangs without flat ironing every day.

Or really, any fringe shorter than my chin.

[InTheCity]

Just not having enough of it!

Is it possible that caring about our hair too much can cause stress and make you lose hair?! I'm sure!

[Friesiangirl]

Hmm, I suppose I don't mind much about my hair. I don't get annoyed, or frustrated with it. I don't feel the need for it to have a different texture (it's half straight, half curly something mop head mess :)). My natural color is just me, and it grows. Sure, I wish it would grow faster though.

It just is. It can't help it. Haha

Hayley

[Wicked Princess]

I wouldn't say that anything about my hair makes me particularly angry.

It does frustrate me terribly when I find those little knots in a single strand of hair that are almost always impossible to get out. It catches and tangles against my other hairs...making me fear that other strands of hair will tie themselves into knots.

Also...I would vastly prefer it if my hair decided to learn to speak my language and tell me what it wants, instead of sitting there, quiet and amused, while I bumble my way through various hair experiments in an attempt to find a suitable routine for it!

[Bellona]

Right now, pretty much everything! I have overgrown shorter layers which are a nightmare on my thick 2c hair. There are wings and flips and poofs and cowlicks everywhere! It's also almost APL on the bottom but the short front layers won't go back in a bun or ponytail. It makes me so mad! Hopefully this awkwardness won't last too long, though :)

At longer lengths I don't have many complaints, except that my under layer is much curlier than my canopy.

[Kitten87]

It's too long to spike it like I used to, but too short to do ANYTHING with >:(

And I've had about 1/2" of growth in 3 months.

[katana]

-the fluff that makes a halo the day after I wash it. It can't really be called 'fuzz' if the strands are two inches or so long and STILL sticking out AND up....
-velcro-ing my hair (ow! I like the visor coz I can wear a bun, but the velcro bit in the back keeps snagging the lower loop of my bun... and all my coats have hoots with velcro... argh.)
-hasn't happened recently, coz my hair has been up in a bun, but with pony tails or loose - having hair caught in the car door...

[Ally<3]

The fact that I will have to cut most of the growth I'm getting off. That my hair is damaged, and that it is taking so long to grow.

[BranwenWolf]

The hair at the front of my head curls into the most ridiculous-looking patterns when I'm asleep. It used to be my bangs but now it's the higest part of my V-hemline.
I thought it would go away when they get longer but it didn't. I will never have sexy morning hair.
Every morning I wet it and put it in a ponytail to straighten them out.

[Demetrue]

Not really maddening, just annoying - When I wake up in the morning, and my hair that looked amazing when had just washed and dried it before I went to bed, now looks like it has morphed into Ronald Reagan's pompadour.
Also - when I try to pull my hair back into a smooth ponytail but the hair on top ends up with all these gaps and isn't lying smoother or straight, even though I carefully combed it that way. The waves and cowlicks just pouf back up!

[aimison]

1. How much frizz I have. I am envious of people with lovely sleek hair.
2. How much it tangles when it's loose for more than 5 minutes.
3. The clogged shower drains..
4. That it's not growing fast enough!

[Curlsgirl]

I don't think I have anything new to add but the things that annoy me are:

Braiding and then tying it off only to have a few hairs pulling at my scalp close to my head thah HURT and I can't seem to fix without totally rebraiding.

Those shorter hairs on the sides and around my ears and forehead that want to fuzz out and stick up no matter WHAT I do that force me to use a little hairspray now and then.

A greasy scalp when the rest of my hair looks perfectly fine.

Bangs that are the right length but still seem to bug me in my eyes.

Getting my hair caught in my reading glasses/sunglasses hinges.

Doing the routine that works 95&#37; of the time and having it totally make my hair come out different!

[Angharad]

When I have an important day coming up my hair always seems reluctant to do what I want and when I have a day just doing nothing and relaxing at home, it is perfect, aaargghhh!

My hair doesn't feel heavy because of its natural dryness and whatever I do and whatever oils I use in my hair it always reaches a point when I feel the need to make it wet and put the moisture back in; that stresses me out sometimes.

My colour; sometimes I am at ease with it and then I want to dy it gorgeous red or black, but I know it wouldn't flatter my skintone so I must accept that this is MY colour; so be it.......pfff!

My ends are completely dry but because I REALLY want to reach hipbone lets say in at least two years from now on, I don not want to cut it, but it annoys me that it doesn't have the same smooth feel about it as my hair at the top.

[Leneveu]

Those shorter hairs on the sides and around my ears and forehead that want to fuzz out and stick up no matter WHAT I do that force me to use a little hairspray now and then.

Count yourself lucky - mine cannot be tamed even with hairspray :p

The ringlet which often forms at the middle of my forehead drives me nuts, too. (Sometimes people insist on reciting:
There was a little girl, who had a little curl
Right in the middle of her forehead,
And when she was good, she was very, very good,
But when she was bad she was horrid.)

[jojo]

To my right hand side of my grown out fringe I have a frizzy area which drives me mad but I have always had this even as a little girl, my mum and eldest daughter also have it in the same place. But its not the end of the world, I can put it back now and although it looks like finger waves its ok!

[young&reckless]

Not angry with my hair, angry with my belt for trying to eat it.

[Kris Dove]

The ringlet which often forms at the middle of my forehead drives me nuts, too. (Sometimes people insist on reciting:
There was a little girl, who had a little curl
Right in the middle of her forehead,
And when she was good, she was very, very good,
But when she was bad she was horrid.)I have one of those too!

[DARKMARTIAN]

I need a serious trim.....my ends are so dry that they virtually dont even exist...:p. I could really use a cut of at least seven inches or so. Thats kinda makes me mad. And I am sooo uncomfortable about sleeping on it that it seems I am constantly waking up at night to fling it out from under me. And that lack of sleep is probably why everything else makes me so mad......JK....:D

[mwedzi]

Single strand knots :justy: Anything else I dislike about my hair can be relatively easily solved, but not those. Those won't go away without me chemically relaxing my hair or keeping it heat straightened all the time. And they are the main cause of my tangling and breakage. I have an absolute ton of them, too. The other day I saw 3 of them on one strand of hair!

[jojo]

Not angry with my hair, angry with my belt for trying to eat it. oh thats showing off:D now i want that problem!!

[LKayL]

My hair grows at different speeds around my head, which is frustrating as I want to get it all the same length.

[Opal25]

Lengthy detangling time & crazy knots. :(

[talecon]

that my hair is so thin and it falls out like crazy. theres hair everywhere and everyone complains about it. and that it doesnt curl like it used to. : /

[Bereft]

Shrinkage for me too. I wish i could have the length my hair is when its straight, while its curly. Also, I wish it would move like real hair does while its curly, and not only when its straight. I also hated how the ends lookied so scraggly, so I cut about an inch off, and now I hate that too.
I also hate the fact that I cannot comb out my hair unless it is wet, without it turning into a big, frizzy poufmonster. It makes doing vintage and retro styles almost impossible :rolleyes:

[InTheCity]

That I absolutely can not wear it "natural." If I dont clip it up or bun it to let it airdry, it will be huge and unruly. It's wavy but the waves are NOT behaved. Oh and the left side is almost wavy, the middle/back is wavy and the right side has ringlets.

I think I have an idea for my next post topic: bipolar hair!

[Arctic_Mama]

I get annoyed at the ends of my hair - they are brassy and dry from my last dye job and straightening. The top of my hair (the top 12 inches, I mean) are soft, shiny, smooth... It seems like nothing I do can remedy how raggedy the ends look, but I am not willing to chop them off, yet.

I wish it would grow faster so I can hack off the dye.

I get annoyed at my layers poking out of buns and braids.

I HATE my flaky scalp. Nothing but an expensive prescription helps, and it makes me self-conscious :(

[GlassEyes]

Frizz, and it never lies the way I want it to. It always looks nicest -right- before it completely dries, and then BOOM, it's huge.

[Silver & Gold]

Sorry if there is a thread covering this already. But one of the things that frusterates me is when im braiding it and im not paying attention and one of the weaves is loose and sticking out and im already like five more weaves past it....

Ooooooooooooo...that gets under my skin!!..:D:D

Thats exactly the time you should stab your hair with a porcupine quill.

I'm just saying . . .
