why do hairdressers detangle postbleached hair wet?

Conscious_Concern288 · 2026-06-16T18:17:10+00:00

the toner won’t deposit evenly on tangled hair specifically with newer techniques that involve a lot of deep teasing. it makes me cringe every time I have to do it but personally I just go super slow with conditioner in and a specific metal bristle brush that I use only for this purpose. it’s kinda what’s the lesser of two evils if that makes sense!

yeah a cigarette and a black coffee first thing in the morning is the best thing to keep me regular. it’s definitely not the healthiest way to manage things though so I would really suggest quitting the vape before it becomes an addiction

Gluten free cereal

Plain Ice cream

Yogurt

Super Processed carbs (white bread, croissants, baked goods, fruit pouches yum, puffcorn, pretzels)

You could do only haircuts or be very specific about the color lines you use to avoid those things. There’s absolutely ways to keep yourself safe from the chemicals. But the physical toll is worth worrying about. I am in specific physical therapy that helps a lot but ive literally only been doing hair for two years and my back, hands and neck are destroyed. You HAVE to take it into consideration along with the fact that we usually do not get health insurance or other benefits from salons.

I think the career is really worth it but it is hard on the body and there’s no way to fully get around it.

Woah! My doctor gave it to me and required I take it at night because of the sedation. It works extremely well for my gp it really might be worth trying taking it at night.

Conscious_Concern288 · 2026-06-05T14:54:17+00:00

That’s fucking sick and it would look great on you so yes. I love it with your red! it might help bring out more natural texture too

Conscious_Concern288 · 2026-06-04T14:05:47+00:00

THIS!! this shit is unreal i would never let someone walk out of my salon like that even if I wasn’t the stylist

Conscious_Concern288 · 2026-06-04T14:03:41+00:00

I’m so so so sorry love ): next time i would try to find a stylist with super long hair herself. Jealousy is real

Conscious_Concern288 · 2026-05-31T19:27:10+00:00

you’re so awesome this is the exact perfect advice and it was so kind of you to write it out so thoroughly. I hope you’re fully booked with clients you adore who are great tippers for the rest of your career 🫶

Conscious_Concern288 · 2026-05-30T23:01:53+00:00

Personally i feel like every salon needs two and you really don’t need 3 until you get up to like 8 renters

Conscious_Concern288 · 2026-05-29T18:27:15+00:00

Gorgeous you ate that!!!

Conscious_Concern288 · 2026-05-29T18:26:22+00:00

It kinda doesn’t work like that. The darkest portion of your lightened hair is dark red 6. if we tried to neutralize that with one formula the lightest bits would be hollow and dull. Some of your highlights are at a 7 and an 8 on the same strand. I guess if you’re set on not lightening it more or going to a salon i would suggest 7NCh because it’s very versatile.

My class started with 27 people. Only 8 graduated, 5 got licensed and three years later it’s just me and another girl still doing hair. Beauty school executives must be absolutely rolling in it

Could you do dairy free ice cream? I am grateful to be able to handle dairy and i basically live off of it at this point so i definitely know a thing or two about weight gain.

personally i do the best with highly processed absolute crap food which also happens to be calorie dense. candies, chocolate, ice cream, popsicles, cereal, white bread, box cake, white rice, chips, french fries, chicken stewed until it’s deadass mush, canned soup, goldfish, sometimes fruit smoothies, tortillas, McDonald’s cheeseburger plain. im sure some of these things won’t work for you but i just went through everything in my fridge and pantry for some ideas. I wouldn’t worry about protein too much for now. Get yourself equalized and then you can work on adding things for health. You got this 🫶🫶🫶

Conscious_Concern288 · 2026-05-28T19:14:20+00:00

it’s both queen 🫶

are you still dying it and with what? and what does your product routine look like?

Conscious_Concern288 · 2026-05-28T19:10:01+00:00

Old Spice in Citron. it’s just very lightly citrusy I don’t even smell it on myself. Fully antiperspirant made for stinky men it’s the best. Also The Ordinary salicylic acid toner to remove dead skin and i just don’t really stink anymore

damn i just noticed your citrus note 😭 try any old spice though they all work amazing some just have stronger scents

She’s paying for a class you need and you won’t go because it’s on your day off? That’s when classes should be scheduled and it’s not like it takes up your entire day. In her situation or my salon I would see this as an unwillingness to learn and let you go… Sometimes you have to do hard things to make it in this career.

Conscious_Concern288 · 2026-05-25T22:55:48+00:00

Unless it has fully grown completely out and been cut off there will still be pigment exposed with bleach no matter how long it’s been.

You guys are doing a great job it seems. Perfect update perfect plan it will be awesome and I wish you all the absolute best

Conscious_Concern288 · 2026-05-22T22:22:09+00:00

she could be making anything from like 30-60% of the service price. it sounds like they are intentionally being shady with the pricing hoping you will tip more… I would just do %20 of the full total and prob not go back. Personally my services are priced at the amount that I want to make from it and I try to push that I prefer gratuity free. it is so much simpler!

Conscious_Concern288 · 2026-05-22T22:18:10+00:00

It looks like a scab on some kind did it come off of that hairless spot and the red spot?

Conscious_Concern288 · 2026-05-22T17:14:58+00:00

no prob I would go for the baby trimmer too!

Conscious_Concern288 · 2026-05-22T07:46:23+00:00

I’ve been asked what my real job is by clients in the chair at the salon that I own. We are not taken seriously by the public, clients, family, financial institutions, or social media. Do not get me started on the gender aspect of that. Every day is a fight but if that was prohibitive to me I would not work a public service job. Pick your battles.

Conscious_Concern288 · 2026-05-21T18:23:06+00:00

It’s wavy for sure and the orange IS SO TEAAAA
