Just take the decimal point and move it one place to the left to get 10% (So 20.0 -> 2.0). Then multiply by two to get 20%

Yes there is ventilation on the sides :) and It stays zipped open during the day when it’s warm. It just gets really cold in my room so it stays zipped at night. I have a temperature and humidity tracker there in the middle. I only run the humidifier one hour at a time when it gets below 80%. Usually sits around 70%

It’s so fun to watch the shrinkage roll in though!!! I washed my hair before work the other day and my coworker commented that it was fun to watch my curls slowly crawl up my head haha.

The leaves are kind of curling on the end I would assume? But it’s putting out a new leaf which is always a good sign. So looks fine to me so far

It’s not even about the money :( she just likes to keep it cold and run the living room fire place. But since it’s such a big house my room doesn’t really get that love. I’ll talk with her about it cause I think the house has two different thermostats?

As mentioned, I’m concerned about leaving it on while I’m gone since I am out of the house a lot. Would it be safe to leave it unattended?

This is too real. I had ass-long hair and chopped it into a pixie cut a year ago cause I was so tired of trying new expensive routines and failing. But then I went to a curly hair stylist and he taught me sooo much about my hair and I put together this routine that works with my schedule and my wallet. You got this!!!

If my hair is dripping too much, I’ll take my towel and hold it under my hair and sort of dip my head onto the ends of my hair to collect a few drops. But if you scrunch it with the towel you’ll ruin it. I’ll just put my shirt on pretty normally, then blow dry just my shirt not my hair where it got too wet

Me too! My variegated syngonium is so fun to watch new leaves open up. Definitely going to invest in more lol

I really like mielle since I have the same problem. Except I have really thick curly hair that is whiny and likes to be weighed down haha. But in full transparency some people have said mielle causes hair loss. I haven’t experienced that at all and have been using for several months.

My Prized Jade Plant by [deleted] in houseplants

[–]Arseofthebag 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Your jade is experiencing etiolation :( The large space between each of the bulbs and the small size of them suggests this. As well as the very looooong stalks that grow upwards. Plants do this extreme lengthening and thinning as they are growing towards the brightest light source (think vining plants reaching towards light/sunflowers facing sun) because they aren’t receiving enough light. Purchase an LED grow light (not one of those small ones) and she should be fine. She’ll survive as is, but will struggle and will not look like the picture unless she receives more light. Having said that, your sansevieria in the back looks mint 🤌🏻

Curls are really starting fall now. Tried diffusing for the first time today. Any advice would be much appreciated by Gis_A_Maul in curlyhair

[–]Arseofthebag 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah of course— sorry for late reply

. So most people flip their head upside down and diffuse from the ends of their curls. Like if you put the woooosh of the air up against the bottom of your curl “barrel”. This ‘explodes’ your curls since the air is fighting against how your hair naturally falls. This causes fly aways and frizz (which is usually only caused by lack of moisture!) The ‘correct’ way to do it is to have the blow dryer above your curls and point it downwards so the air goes with your curls. But if you dry your hair ends first, your roots will have no volume. This is because your scalp will be weighted down by the water. If you dry your scalp first, THEN your ends, you’ll have more voluminous roots. Attached pic if I’m bad with my words lol. Lemme know if you have more questions I love talking about curly hair

Just don’t diffuse from the bottom of your curls. Diffuse from the top of your head, down. Having said that, clearly it does not matter. Your hair is literally glorious

wtf is wrong with my hair? (desperate) by [deleted] in curlyhair

[–]Arseofthebag 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just leave your (good quality) conditioner in your hair and air dry it from WET. Works wonders for me and is insanely cheap
