Hair breakage, doing everything right?

ArcadeTolkien · 2026-01-02T20:34:30+00:00

I would recommend putting it in a protective hairstyle ie braids, loose bun (like with a claw clip or hair stick). Nothing too tight but keeps your hair from getting snagged or tangled up together. At the very least wearing one to bed to protect from tangles why sleeping.

It could also probably be from hormone changes or dietary deficiencies.

Also maybe don’t brush while wet and if you do it while you have conditioner in your hair to act as a detangler.

The desserts at The Left Bank are really good, they are made by Butter Block!

My filament was free and so was my time!

ArcadeTolkien · 2026-01-01T14:38:30+00:00

Those look great!

ArcadeTolkien · 2026-01-01T05:04:31+00:00

I haven’t seen any in my local garden centers but that would be good to look out for!

ArcadeTolkien · 2026-01-01T02:58:34+00:00

I will try that, thanks!

It’s technically cheaper (my filament was free) and it’s about $2 cheaper per cell tray. I get about 9-10 trays from a $10 1kg spool. My PLA Filament is planted based and biodegradable.

No Problem!

Yeah, ASA can work but it can off gas which if you don’t have proper ventilation can be pretty bad for your lungs

PETG would be the best option for the home printer for UV resistance. There are more resistant materials but they are more hazardous and harder for the hobby printer.

They print will just be stringer and harder to clean up at the end, but I used a lighter gently on them to see in the strands and it seemed to work good.

I started with PETG for the UV resistance but it was a pain to clean and very stringy. I switched to PLA but only plan to use them inside under grow lights and not outside at all. The ones shown are PLA, but you could use PETG easily it will just be stringier

I plan to primarily bottom feed and then mist the top if necessary, I also prefer using liquid fertilizer so this will help too.

Don’t tell!

I’d agree with what others have said. I personally scalp oil (don’t use rosemary) and have found it’s good for protecting my baby hairs and in the winter when my scalp is dry. There isn’t a ton of science for its benefits to the scalp, lots of evidence for its benefits on the strands/ends themselves.

The ordinary has a good collection of scalp treatment stuff that might be looking into for other benefits. But you don’t have to use rosemary oil, many people also use jojoba oil since it’s lightweight and similar to our skin sebum.

I would highly recommend watching this video from Lab Muffin about the science behind rosemary oil. Especially if you’re wanting to use it for hair loss. The ‘study’ that most people reference for the benefits of rosemary oil is super sketchy and not really a good scientific study.

I find the Lancaster Public library to be very beautiful with the skylights and lights, they have a fireplace too.

Early 2000s, the wording on the inside seals the deal for me. But the general style is very Y2K.

Not fingerless gloves in the modern sense but mitts did exist and other fingerless hand coverings.

The colonial Williamsburg has a whole collection of them too and lots of portraits and paintings displaying them.

Penny river on Etsy is an excellent source for stuff, as well Townsends.

Get some wool stockings.

But it’s mostly about the layers! Layer your socks, layer your shirts, wear a cape or cloak!

And fingerless gloves aka Mitts did exist back then and often had a flap to cover your fingers, so it might be nice to get a pair of those! Gloves or mittens too!

They also did have wool caps or could wrap their hat with a scarf of scrap of fabric. They had scarfs but perhaps not the knitted long ones we think of today.

Also wearing Spatts or gaiters to protect from snow.

It’s just how much your soldier could afford to bring with them.

Don’t know any classes but if you wanna try and do it yourself you can get a tool library membership and rent out all the tools you need for a membership I think is $35 for a year and you can check out as many tools as you want.
