What's your fantasy hair?

I have flat uninteresting hair with a slight wave. It is an awkward length but generally ok, bit of a muddy, dull, natural blonde.

My fantasy hair would be these pics, would love to know how to imitate it as most advice involves super defined curls with tongs, etc. I just love how natural and textured these pics are!

What's yours and could you achieve it in this lifetime?? Grin

I’d love a full head of 80’s style curls tumbling down my back.

BlanklyMyDear · 03/02/2025 11:49

If only I had such a beautifully sculpted face …

Any hair that’s thicker than the fine, kinked hair that I have! I’m not fussy.

ChangingHistory · 03/02/2025 12:12

My fantasy hair is a lot like your pics, long with a slight curl or strong wave.

I have that hair! I didn't realise for years I just thought it was straight frizzy but it's actually beautifully wavy BUT it doesnt suit me. I have a very angular androgenous face so curls make me look like a man in drag. It is heartbreaking.

These are mine. I'm aiming for the long one although I doubt I'll be able to maintain it myself.

I'm growing out a pixie cut at the moment which is driving me nuts. I hate my hair at the moment and am so tempted to go short again.

I went short then grey during lockdown so I'm interested to see what my hair will look like grey and long.

I'll take the big fluffy 80s curls too! I hope they come back soon.

If that's too much to ask, I'd just like the postpartum hair loss to stop now. I'm practically bald and all my hair is on the bathroom floor everytime I brush it.

Post menopause Id just like the hair I had back when I was a teenager!

That’s like mine but not blonde - more strawberry blonde/caramel. It’s chaos and most times I look really scruffy unless I put the effort in with make-up and clothes. Be careful what you wish for!

@GoatScapes my hair is similar to your OP, a bit less tighter curls though. At high school & the early 00s I just wanted dead straight flat hair! But as I got older I realised I loved big hair & @DustyLee123 80s curl are amazing!

wipeywipe · 03/02/2025 13:40

which I could achieve if my hairdresser did it for me, I'm not very good at styling hair!

GoatScapes · 03/02/2025 14:04

I would love the textured (so called frizzy) natural hair in my OP pics. I could curl with a wand or GHD but they are smooth and artificial looking and the effect of heat makes them just drop out without a ton of hairspray.

I envy wavy hair because the rain makes it even cooler!
My friend has natural waves/light curls that frizz up a bit in rain but then look awesome later. My hair goes static-y and just wilts Sad

Wavy people always complain but they don't know how good they have it!

Yes I prefer my hair when it's naturally waved as opposed to waved at the hairdressers. I like the fuzz & lack of uniformity.

icelolly12 · 03/02/2025 14:10

Long, light silky shiny hair, the typical Russian model hair

medievalfreak · 03/02/2025 14:10

I think the first pics look awful and straggly and tatty

I would love short curly hair like Halle Berry

wipeywipe · 03/02/2025 14:16

i've also always loved a blonde super straight blunt bob style.

My hair is SHIT (flat & fine)
I’d love thick hair with texture. Be that curls or a wave. Anything other than the shite I ended up with 😢

SilvieBear · 03/02/2025 14:21

Something like this would be ideal:

I have naturally long curly hair, I’d love it as straight as a pin in a thick shoulder length bob.

Could have stated your preference without putting down an entire hair type. Nice work.

Very nice for people who have that hair type to read.

medievalfreak · 03/02/2025 15:19

nothing to do with the hair type, its the cut

with a decent shorter cut, that hair would look ok

AnniePorter · 03/02/2025 15:21

I love the wolf cut but my hair's not thick enough.

EuclidianGeometryFan · 03/02/2025 15:21

From the animated film Brave.
But only if I could employ a personal hairdresser to sort it out for me each morning.

Plaided · 03/02/2025 15:22

Really short hair, either pixie or a bob. I just don’t have the face for it.
