Has this hair been overshagged?

Has this lady got a great cut but hair that is ready to throw in the towel or what? Would deep conditoning weigh it down? It catches and reflects NO light.

I think it may look better when she is not outside in the wind. (maybe) If this is how it looks all the time, then yes, I would say it is probably over shagged.

That is heat damage. Her hair does not seem to have a lot of color change going on. You would expect her to have a head of glossy hair.

Yes, this is dried out, stressed and over conditioned hair. Too much conditioner (to include too much leave-in conditioner) can weigh down and dull hair. This hair is definitely dried out and even excessive wind can cause dryness and tangling. It could also be overstripped from harsh cleansers. All told, she needs a good salon conditioning and shampoo. She may even need a trim if split-ends started a domino effect on over-conditioning. Whether she uses a lot of heat for drying and styling or not, a heat protectant would always be on the list of hair savers. A little 'inflicted' body along with some spray on "shine" would also help bring her style to life.

I hope it's the wind that has gotten a hold of her style. For some emphasis on hair styling is needed here.

This picture is confusing.

Has she just not washed her hair in a while?

I also get the idea that if she is using cheap products or cheap alcohol based gels to "style" her hair, this is the result. A spray in like aussie moist and NO heat styling would fix this inside of a week.

Ongoing use of a moisturizing mousse would put some life back into this hair. That said, i think her bangs at least need a trim. Ends too.

Is this perhaps a grow out phase?
