I just cut my hair into an asymmetrical short bob recently...Dat feel when you want to have long pretty hair, but can't because your hair keeps falling.
I will never be kawaii

[Anonymous No.7323475]

I need a haircut like goddamn but I really don't like going to the hairdressers. Also at uni rather than home and didn't manage to get my hair cut over break so it's really bad right now, and finding a new hairdresser who won't mess up your hair is hard.

(If anyone happens to know of a good one in York, UK, then I'd be grateful)

Try looking for beauty schools!

They only allow students who are about to graduate to cut hair, and you can usually get it cut for ~$15. Plus, they're brand new to the hair cutting scene, so they've learned all the newest techniques and they know what's in style, and what will look good.

Younger people are also more willing to try out a style they wouldn't have necessarily thought of, whereas older hair dressers may be sort of stuck in their hayday and don't like different hairstyles.

I dropped my hair dresser after she refused to give me a short angled bob because she thought it would look ugly. I went and got it done somewhere else, and it's perfect for my face.

I know this is really racist, but I get so excited every time I see such a pretty Asian girl whose beauty isn't the direct result of extreme make-up and Photoshop talent. I'm not saying pretty Asians are some sort of rare gem or something, but I've seen so many 3s go to 8-10 with the use of photo editing and make-up skills that whenever I see a picture of a pretty Asian, I can't enjoy it as much because I can't help but wonder if that's really what she looks like. Yeah, all races do this, but it seems to be a lot more prominent with Asians.

I would steer clear of beauty schools if you have challenging (basically anything with texture) because many of the students don't have the experience with textured or curly hair that seasoned professionals may have.

That being said, beauty schools are awesome for unusual cuts, or demanding updos for events. They're also cheap and usually the students are good natured and happy to be working.

So, I have really thick curly hair, and my forehead is pretty small so bangs are kinda useless. Plus, if I had bangs they'd be super poofy and stuff, because my hair hates being short.

Hm, I normally let my hair air dry, use leave in conditioner on the tips and braid my hair at night so it doesn't tangle. I use a special brush that has really flexible bristles so it doesn't break my hair, It's called the wet brush. I also rarely use heat tools and always use a heat protectant spray.

I can't stand short boyish cuts with lolita it just looks odd, no offense to you, but you'd look so much more feminine with longer hair, even with the hat having super short hair makes your head look tiny with all the frills.

[Anonymous No.7324007]

Dem feels when you want to have nice hair but it gets really oily within 6 hours, especially when active or sleeping so you have to wash it and blowdry it everyday and it gets frizzy and split really quickly. I can't not blowdry it unless I'm staying at home for 3 hours, and my natural hair looks horrible so I have to straighten it sometimes too. I can't do rag curls or anything as the roots and bangs will be all oily and slicked back by morning.

[Anonymous No.7324016]

>>7324007
Bradi it at night, I promise you it won't get oily that quickly. Brush it every day a lot so sebum will go trought all your hair and not stay up. Wash your bruch everyday. Choose a natural pepper mint shampoo to dry your hair a little. Use homemade dry shampoo.

>but is it just me or does her face kind of look like a baby's face
I'm sure it's that derp'd mouth expression she forces into her pictures. It looks like something you'd see in a baby photo since babies do that all the time. No non-downsy person has a natural open mouthed smile like that.
To tell you the truth I find forced facial expressions like that highly obnoxious.

I think someone's desperate to create the image of a female fedora MRA and attribute it to /cgl/ because we have girls. Which is stupid, because fedora-chans already come in girl flavor. They hang out with MRA's, are extremely ugly/thirsty, constantly call non-unforgivably ugly nerds slutty (I've seen one that does this on facebook all DAY) and they love fingerless gloves.

I often do, but it's the roots and the hair framing my face (mainly the bangs and fringing) that get oily and I can't really braid that. I brush it a fair bit but I could do it more. I probably don't wash my brush enough, though. Do you have any recommendations for brands/recipes for natural pepper mint shampoo and for homemade dry shampoo?

I am so envious of my friends when they stay over, their hair is typically perfect in the morning and they don't even need to wash it. If I went out with my morning hair, I'd probably get heckled and stared at by everyone.

Some people just don't really think about their smile much. They kinda just think "ok, make curve. That is smile. Good"

I use Lush and I've heard a lot of good things from them.
I use the hold "brush your hair an hundred time" thing, it does wonders really quickly, my hair became really soft and shiny after a month or so, because natural sebum is the best thing to keep your hair hydrated and protect them from wind and rain.

I usually wear my natural hair with lolita but I don't style it very nicely. My hair is super thick with a natural wave that I'm worried will look weird and overwhelmingly huge if I curl it or tease it.

How do I thick hair with lolita? Straighten only the top? Curl the ends under?

[Anonymous No.7324091]

>>7324080
I have thick hair and I straighten the top and curl it more towards the ends so it gets gradually more voluminous. Depending on how long your hair is braids are great, you can get them really thick and nice looking, so does braiding a portion or doing a bun. If you wear sweet though I'm not sure how well braids look. You can try mimicking the twintail wigs by putting some of your hair up like that or put a small portion up in a bun.

I think short hair can look great with loli. I liked Katzix short pinky hair look. I liked how it contrasted with her classic clothing. Loli is you in a dress. Feel free to be you, not what everyone else expects you to be to fit into the mold. Once you are wearing shit just to fit into the preconceived mold of what a loli *should* be just to fit the stereotype you are wearing a costume, not a fashion.

I think you're wrong. Long hair is feminine, and lolita is a feminine fashion, it expresses and celebrates femininity. You can't tell me that it's not about feminine aesthetics, aesthetics are really important in all fashions, and lolita has the theme of being feminine, doll like, and pretty. Short hair isn't really pretty, same with unstyled hair, it's just messy looking and doesn't work with the fashion aesthetics. A kodona with long hair looks bad because kodona is about boyish aesthetics.

It's not about fitting the mold of what it should be, it's about fittin the aesthetics of a fashion, because they actually exist.

I've been growing my hair out from chin length for the past two and a half years. The MT pic is the most recent. I usually wear it up in turk's head braids once a week to get rhapsody wig hair that lasts for a few days, and the other days of the week, I'm fighting with my curling iron or straight iron. I originally planned on using wigs when I started with Lolita, but I very quickly found that I ruin wigs and can't keep them for crap, so I decided to grow my natural hair. It's a good bit of upkeep though, and I think one of these days, I'm going to get a short curly bob wig for the days when I just don't feel like dealing with my mane.

I try to keep them short, and do touchups at home in between trips to the hairdresser, but they legit just fall like that sometimes.

I love natural hair with lolita, but maybe that's because I myself feel weird wearing a wig. I tried it several times at home, but never wore it outside the house...but maybe I just have to get used to it?

I always try to do different things with my hair every time, but I just can't seem to make curls work. They are really nice and curly, but as soon as I leave the house the curls are almost gone. Pic related. When I get home they are completely straight again. I already use mousse and tons of hairspray, wash them the day before without any conditioner and pin them up for a while after curling. Is there anymore I can do to hold the curls?

Your hair is pretty anon ! Keep it long will do wonders if you don't want it to be curlier/fuzzier. With tha volume having it cut would be a waste and would not do you any favor. You should try to style it with hair foam (don't know the name in english), if you want less volume straighen the top a bit by doing a brushing with a soft brush and a hairdryer.

Any advice/tips for super long hair? Mine is down to about mid-thigh, completely straight, unlayered. It looks looks funny under most wigs, even if I distribute it evenly around my head in braids or pincurls it looks like the wig is floating above my head.

In particular, I'm looking for tips on styles to frame my squarish face, or very low-maintenance hair-cuts. Any help would be appreciated!


Things I've done:
- braid it while damp so it comes out wavy like a rhapsody wig
- braid pinned around the crown of my head, with flowers and such
- half-up, half-down
- giant updos like pic related with clip-in bangs (sorry I keep posting this same pic, but it's one of the few where I actually like how I did my hair).

I actually have a terrible hair texture and when growing out I find it to be too unmanageable, I genuinely prefer to have it short and I have had it boyishly short for about 10 years. Although I do agree short hair looks terrible with Lolita a mass majority of the time and 99% of the time I wear a wig with my coordinates. I was just hoping to see if there were any good examples (or at least better than mine) of pixy or boy-cut hair with Lolita.

I don't have a tutorial but I can try to describe how I did it?

- divided my hair/scalp into four parts: top, left side, right side, and back middle.
- made a high ponytail out of the top section to keep it out of the way
- combed out the bottom section and used lots of hairspray, then loosely rolled it up onto itself and pinned it to my head. The extra hair I added to the ponytail on top.
- same thing for both of the side pieces, comb, apply hairspray, loosely roll and pin (and then more hairspray), add extra to top.
- finally, made a loose spiral bun out of the ponytail at the top, pin/spray etc.


>>7324607
I leave it loose because I usually shower in the evening and let it dry overnight. I don't move around much when I sleep, so I just kind of flip it over the top of my pillow and let it hang off the side of the bed.

My hair is a bit longer than yours and very thick and I have no problems curling it. I use my straightener and no curly tongs because it works better for me.
When you want to curl your hair, only use shampoo and no conditioner or other chemicals when you wash your hair before. If your hair is very thick use smaller portions of hair for each curl and use a medium heating temperature for the straightener, and let your hair slide through - slowly. It has to be extra slow and will cost much of time (it usually takes me an hour to curl all my hair). Use hair-fixing spray for each curl after it's finished (don't wait to long, otherwise the curls will deflate faster), don't skimp on hair spray, the longer your hair the heavier it gets, that means you need a lot of it to last (it takes me 1/2 of a bottle for each styling).

SOCK CURLS! A girl in my comm has thin butt length hair and she did that hair technique overnight with some curling gel and it stayed pretty well for the meetup.

Also, Curlformers are a godsend for heatless tight curls if you have thick hair that doesn't hold a curl. Pincurls are another option if you don't want to spend extra money, but it takes more time to complete.

In the summer I can usually just wet it out a little, scrunch it, and it's fine- but it's much more troublesome in the winter.

I have short-to-mid length (it's being grown out atm) curly hair that acts like yours. I find that when if I shower only using conditioner and colder water on the day after the nice curl day, it helps a bit. Also, I comb my hair out in the shower. That's probably a terrible thing but I find it works a lot better than brushing/combing it after showering.

(I feel like I'm not explaining this right at all.)

Is it possible to have blunt bags without looking awful if you have a tiny forehead? My forehead is literally an inch tall, it seems like my hair would be far too short to even style properly if I had it the right length.

You mean you're lazy.

I have hair down to my hips that is 3a/b curly, frizzes upon any contact with water and is coarse. No hair products keeps my bangs straight for more than an hour, so styles that require an iron undo easily. Curls make styling limited and flyaways are everywhere.
That's as fucking unmanagable as it can get before it gets to full on damaged territory.

You like pixie cuts because you like the cut on you - good for you. But nobodys hair is "unmanagable", just difficult to manage. You put effort or you dont. Admit that.

It's cool to see another short-haired lolita out there! Don't let anons bring you down, short hair can look ultra-girly when done right. However, I would advise you to change styling and get a fringe, even a short one will do. Most of short hairstyles tend to look more boyish without one, and doesn't really complement lolita style.

Basically, I think that short hair can look ultra cute with lolita, but the key is proper cut. While the one pictured on the left looks cute, it's way too boyish and doesn't have a proper volume to balance poofy outfit. The right one? Imo will do fine, as long as you stay away from OTT and head-eating bows.

Neither of those are feminine enough or big enough to balance a lolita coord. Stop confusing beautiful, ultra-feminine faces with their unflattering, masculine haircuts. The left's haircut makes her hair look sparse and like her face is too big for her head. The right gets the effect of square man jaw because of the lack of hair on the sides.

The minimum haircut for Lolita would be a very fluffy/curly shoulder length - and it'd have to be done up.

This. The haircuts in these images only work because the women in them are already beautiful and feminine. You cannot pull of a hairstyle like this unless you are model tier in the face. If you look even slightly manly it will horribly exacerbate it.

I have two techniques: Sleep in two french braids (this is fail proof for me). If they don't hold enough for you the next day, put in a hair lotion/goop/oil/whatever. If that doesn't work, try a gel, but I don't like gel too much. Crunchy hair, ugh. The lotion makes it soft and sweet.
I don't know if your hair holds braids as well as mine do, but I usually don't tie the end so I don't get that curly on top + straight ends look.

Second: The morning of, I have a misting spray bottle. I don't spray enough to get it wet, hardly even damp, just enough to get a brush through it. I brush it out, put that hair lotion/goop all through, scrunch scrunch, looks great. Sounds pretty much the same as what you're saying, but less water, the goop, and I brush it out.
I try not to do that technique too often because it's not great for my hair, but as long as I scrunch with the goop the curls pop back.

The stuff I'm using for goop right now is called ORS Olive Oil Creme Hair Dress. I got it from the black girl hair section. I used an Olive Oil Hair Moisturizer before this, but my boyfriend misunderstood my grocery list and got me something different this time. It still works, though.

I'm a different person. I said it's not loli-and it's not. Even the fluffiest short hair cannot balance out a loli coord. It can look amazing on a person, but it does not look good AT ALL with lolita. Natural hair already has to fight to look big enough or balanced enough with the floof, short can't cut it.

Literally as exaggeration or your forehead actually measures an inch tall? Because honestly sounds a bit impossible.
If you're just exaggerating, then I'll say I have a small forehead as well, and I have blunt bangs. Honestly it just depends on the shape of your face and how your hair is. If you have a round face and/or your hair tends to frizz up when short, then bangs probably wont be the best idea, but if your face is more oval and your hair will stay straight, then it might be okay.

I often use my natural hair for lolita. It used to be really long, and it's naturally quite wavy so I would just straighten the bangs and give the natural wave a little more shape/taming. I also used to put it up in buns a lot, too.
After I cut it super short I've had some trouble making it look "lolita," but thanks to the natural wave it at least looks somewhat feminine? Anyway, here's an example pic of long and short.

I love this outfit! Where are the blouse and JSK from?! Also, that hair looks lovely.

It does look feminine short! However, I prefer the bangs in the first picture. The bangs in the second look a bit too mature for your sweet look. (That skirt is really lovely!)

Thanks, I made the skirt myself, hehe! And yeah, I've been thinking about getting my bangs cut again, since my hair is getting longer again... It's just annoying to have to straighten them all the time, I dunno.

Different opinions doesn't equal samefagging. Short boy hair doesn't belong in Lolita.

Can we have more pics of Lolitas with natural hair in this length?

My hair is this length and I would love to see what other style than "fluff it up" I can do

You're probably mixed Anglo Saxon/Latina, not Caucasian. Get side-swept bangs.

Thanks! Dont worry anon you'll get there in due time!

>>7323624
Haha.. I don't know what to say to that. I don't shoop or wear circle lenses/falsies but it is a very good angle for me. My nose isn't that cute! Sorry if that is a disappointment, anon.

Here is the full coord. Sorry if I'm spamming the thread/board lately (I just posted in the tumblr thread too) with photos.

>>7328329
Why thank you! It is my favorite coordinate.

[Anonymous No.7329056]

The coord on the left would be MUCH better if you wore crew socks or tights. The knee socks with a sleeveless blouse looks a little odd. Pic related.

And that's just your opinion. My opinion is that you're a faggot troll who can't take it when people don't have the same opinion you do.
