Finn: ''How to achieve PERFECT hair!''

Introduction.


A reasonable example of relatively shiny hair. You should aim for this initially.​

Your hair is an indisputably important factor in looking nice, which is why I am writing this guide. I like to make sure my hair is kept in good condition by adhering to my strict, personal routine and regulations. Men are generally quite happy to follow of a policy of ''not giving a crap'' about things like the quality of their hair, but take it from me, those who are attracted to you pick up on these things.

There is quite a lot of writing to go through in this thread, but sacrifices must be made if you wish to truly achieve perfection of hair.

Shampoo & Conditioner: The Basics.​

For my first piece of fundamental advice, it is regarding use of basic shampoo and conditioner, and how frequently they should be used.

If you're attempting to achieve perfect hair, you must cast away the cheap and nasty shampoo & conditioner that you have previously been using, and should use products which are pertinent to your actual hair type and colour.

For example, my hair is brunette, and consequently, I use John Frieda's ''Brilliant Brunette'' shampoo and conditioner, and never deviate from doing so. An example product is shown below so you can see what they're like for when you go shopping:

​

These products are not only pivotal because I'm a spoiled homosexual brat. Interestingly, they serve a purpose in the quest to hair perfection, too. Using products which are specific to your hair color means that you're using a product that has been especially designed for your type of hair, and so it will be more effective than any other non-specific type of product. For me personally, I have yielded wondrous results from using this type of shampoo and conditioner. Specifically, my hair is endlessly soft and effulgently shiny, and I actually, physically am illuminated when I go in the sun, as my hair is so radiant.

These two items are a must in your bid for perfect hair, but it is equally important to know how (and how often) to use them.

• EVERY day, apply the shampoo. Try to leave it on your hair for at least five minutes, washing your face and whatnot whilst waiting.
• After that, wash it out thoroughly.
• Apply the conditioner every TWO days, leaving it in for up to a minute or two, before rinsing it out, again thoroughly.

Whilst you may have been brought up being told a different set of ''rules'' for shampooing/conditioning your hair, it is important that you follow my aforementioned guidelines if you want to achieve radiantly enhanced hair.

Straightening: The dos and don'ts.​

I don't know how many American males straighten their hair, but here it is becoming increasingly popular, and for those virile fools who refuse to straighten their hair at any cost due to utter fear that they are acting effeminately are deluded and lacking in mental vitality. Ignore their nonsense.

For hair straightening, there really is nothing more advisable than GHD straighteners, shown below.

​

These straighteners are of extremely good quality, straighten hair well, and are not quite as malignant in comparison to other straighteners.

If you don't know how to straighten your hair, ask your mother (or a sister) to do it the first time, until you get ''the hang of it''. Following somewhat crude written instructions, alternatively, you should simply close the irons and pull your hair through them in order to straighten it.

The dos:

• Do straighten your hair if curliness/waviness isn't part of a style you're ''going for''.
• Use heat protection spray, which prevents your hair from being damaged by the heat.
• Do not persistently attack your hair with the straighteners. There is no need to assault your hair - once you have straightened one part, do not redo it.

The don'ts:

• Avoid using cheap straighteners at all costs. It's better not to straighten it at all.
• Do NOT straighten it every day. Straightening every 2 days is sufficient.
• Straightening your hair isn't necessarily fundamental to hair perfection, especially in certain styles, but for some people it improves the look of their hair very much.

Other Products and Additional Information.​

Most people choose to adopt a certain way of 'controlling' their hair. I, personally, use this:

​

From personal experience, I have found that it makes your hair extremely shiny whilst holding it relatively well at the same time. Additionally, it smells very nice, and if you can get your claws on this product specifically, I highly recommend it. Generally speaking, most of the wax holding products are very good, although this is my preferred choice.

Final dos:

• Wear a styling product! Not only do they allow you to 'craft' your hair to your liking, they also smell nice and make your hair shiny.
• If you're female, let your hair down - literally! For girls, hair looks much more dazzling if it's down, as far as I'm concerned.
• Wear leave-in conditioner for extra juiciness and shine.

Final don'ts:

• Never wear bandanas or hats. Not only are they vile, they are hiding the stunning effulgence of your soon-to-be perfect hair!
• At ALL costs, avoid dying your hair. I speak from personal experience. I have dyed my hair three times, and it has KILLED my hair. It took intensive hair rejuvenation to rescue it. Do NOT dye it.
• NEVER use holding SPRAY. This stuff is vile and it makes your hair hard and crispy. It looks awfully cheap and isn't pleasant. Steer clear.

Yet another well-thought out, extensive guide by Finn.

Well done, keep 'em coming

 

You going for UE? :O
Nice guide,nice pictures 9/10
Btw im going for UE Also

 

I use a straightener everyday and i dont use any of that heat protect stuff and as you can tell in my picture my hair is outrageously shinny lol i just use head and shoulders and my hair has never been fried/damaged and I've been straightening my hair for about 2 1/2 years now ^^

 

I am dubious.

Call me a cynic, but if you 'use straighteners everyday' and have 'never fried/damaged' your hair, your hair is supernatural.

Split ends, unquestionably, then.

 

Good guide, even though my hair is already perfect

9/10

 

Lol finn this a cute guide
Grawrrr
Lol
10/10
hair ftw

 

Why not get a shape up?
Seriously, what's the obsession with having long hair. A tape up/shape up is good enough for me and it looks nice and neat. What I do is comb my short hair backwards, giving it a fuzzy look rather than the "i'm questioning my sexuality" shine. I believe this looks much better than the shiney, sort of flowing hair I see on the streets nowadays.
Even though I disagree with your preferences, I did enjoy the guide somewhat.
7/10.
Im pretty sure it's
Do's, not Dos

 

I do have shoulder length hair..and I use a sedu paid $115 back then like half a year ago I'll think about getting that brown bottle thing..

 

I lolled, you're not a brat . Thanks for the guide. I'm going to buy some of the materials needed tomorrow. I like your attitude and style btw .

 

IMO I already have this kind of hair (which I'm lucky I guess? xD) I usually don't like it purely straight, so I just top it off with some wax or HAIRSPRAY!

Very detailed guide to managing your hair and getting that 'perfect' texture/look, 10/10.

Off-topic: Gratz on admin .

 

My hair is naturally godly, I do use the shampoo and conditioning technique, but in my stubbornness I tend to stray away from the hair products and straighteners.

 

haha, nice guide. I use John Frieda's products to!

I love the Brilliant Brunette Lustrous Touch shampoo and condition. It makes my hair superr soft ( Because of the Jojoba Oil) and people always touch it when i'm at school

 

nice guide, 8/10, gratz on admin btw.

 

already have awesome wavy finnish hair XD
bad guide 10/10

 

If you wash your hair every day, you're stripping it of natural minerals that your hair creates and needs. I used to wash my hair every day but then changed to every second day.

Dying your hair does not kill it depending on what sort of dye you use. A semi-permenant dye actually CONDITIONS your hair. I dye my hair black all the time using semi-permenant and every time it goes soft, shiny and is completely conditioned.

Only permenantly dying hair will damage it.

You should also mention bleaching. Stating that it kills your hair and if you have dark hair but want it bleached a light colour then you must do it over a period of time. You can't go straight from black to white.

 

Great guide Finny

 

Well I have to say that was a very interesting and well thought out guide, very creative too

 

Cute guide.

I usually jut shampoo than use conditioner everyday. Than I will brush my hair and than kind of mess it up. I have skater looking hair, so it looks good that way. I never though of straightening it, but I could give it a try haha. I wonder how long my hair would be.

 

Wake up -> Comb hair -> Put hands through it and make it all messy -> cool
