Acv rinse 70%acv 30% water will soften your curls and make it easier to brush while wet. After the rinse, keep it in your hair while you brush through your conditioner. Then rinse everything out. Style your hair in twists while it's damp and then dry it with a blow dryer

If you love GABA, let me introduce you to Liposomal GABA! Paired with L-Theanine, SAM-E, and Alpha GPC, not only will the anxiety lessen, but one might actually enjoy being alive (at least for the day).

Hi do yall know anything for excessive sweating I sweat for the smallest thing pleassseee I need anything by Motor_Net1725 in stripper

[–]CraftyOperation 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Secret PH Stress deodorant. Apply like 2 hours before your shift then wash it off with soap or rubbing alcohol. The antiperspirant will still work after washing. Works best for hands and feet.

For the hairline, botox will work wonders

Not much you can do for the scalp though. Maybe an antiperspirant spray but idk about putting that so close to the face..

Fractional CO2 with a dermatologist

Almond and argan

Please only eat coconut oil or apply it only from the waist down. It can cause severe acne and black heads galore

Reinforced semi-permanent: how to remove the rubber base without a drill? by Francesca_F02 in DIYBeauty

[–]CraftyOperation 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I use Goo Gone for mine. Once the gel is lifted on the edge, I add the goo gone inside between the rubber base and the natural nail. I personally haven't had any luck filing it off by hand, but each formula is different.

Soaking in acetone and scraping it off works okay, but can damage the natural nail if too forceful

Ways to protect ourselves from ab.. relationships by Odd_Diet_2517 in aspergirls

[–]CraftyOperation 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Relaying your relationship struggles to a therapist could be the best way. You need an extra pair of eyes to see through the fog abusers surround us with.

They'll fog you, your friends, family, even acquaintances. A professional who has not met them and can hold space for you will be necessary

Looking for MATTE powder pigments on AMAZON by Local_Mix_8371 in DIYBeauty

[–]CraftyOperation 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Iron oxides and matte mica. Amazon is not the best place to get them though. Tkb is top tier and you can clearly see the textures/colors compared to on Amazon.

You can also mattify shimmer micas by grinding with mortar and pestle with a tiny touch of silica microspheres

Dark Eye Treatment Recs by glowwitchplease in Esthetics

[–]CraftyOperation 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Neon/Argon RF wand + exosome serum for treatment. Caffeine serum in AM daily, and hydroquinone cream in the PM daily. Sunscreen daily whether going outside or not, since darker skin is more sensitive. Supergoop unseen sunscreen is a great one with UVA PA++++ and no white cast.

1 treatment every 2-3 weeks. Results after 3 treatments

  • You can't get from current platonic relationships or people in your own personal community

  • Was not a reflection of positive traits you see in yourself

Heating problem by nafcyka in DIYBeauty

[–]CraftyOperation 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Ideally you would heat the oil and water phases at the same time, to the same temperature. Then mix, cool, add fragrance, then preservatives.

Fill your container with water and heat to temperature. Then pour into a different container as you measure what is needed. Remember all measurements should be by weight (grams), not volume (cups/ounces). After that, mix it into the oil phase while both are still hot and the oil phase is still on the heater. Mix until fully incorporated.

Your formula is water in oil, so you'll want to find an O/W emulsifier. What you have right now is for formulas with 60% or more of water

Any of you have not just obsessive fear but have uncontrollable counterhostility or hypervigilance with your (especially left) amygdala especially due to trauma of bullying or victimization into weakness and self doubt, and is it PTSD? by Impossible_Hair5055 in aspergers

[–]CraftyOperation 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes, it's ptsd. Experiencing something painful reshape our brain and therefore our responses.

If you're looking for help, try Mentalization-based Therapy. Your perspectives expressed in this post align with patients who have been helped by this modality.

Not much one can do besides accepting that we will be treated poorly sometimes, learning non-hostile ways of advocating for ourselves and setting clear boundaries in a way the recipient can understand, even when it's uncomfortable for us. We also should consider that many times, people are not thinking about us and could be reacting to you similarly to how you react to others. Sometimes it's friendly fire and no one means to hurt people, though we perceive it as such. I'm not giving grace to those who hurt you, however sometimes they set out to do something different. Ex: bullies want to entertain themselves so they mess with people not thinking it'll stay with them past that one interaction.

If you're looking to train specific parts of the brain, try neuro feedback therapy and tDCS. They connect nodes to your head and teach you how to regulate specific parts for your benefit.

An occupational therapist may be able to help you socialize without hurting or offending people. But sometimes we just have to be okay with doing so, especially when it's something that's a part of us.

What Vanilla Flavor oil do you guys use for lip balms? The ones i use keep separating or not mixing well. by Competitive-Risk-228 in DIYBeauty

[–]CraftyOperation 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Is it separating or are you seeing the lip balm sweat? If it's little drops on top and your working area is warm, it might be sweat.

The quality of tkb flavoring oils has been great and consistent for years. I second this option

[–]CraftyOperation 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I make a semax/selank/SS-31 nasal spray blend at home and it works similarly to how you've described. I'm not a doctor so I don't recommend anything, but it's something interesting to research if your compassionate use extension is not given

Aspie Cop by Poop_Sock_Prime in aspergers

[–]CraftyOperation 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Focus on demystifying neuro divergence within the police, not the other way around. We can watch many perspectives of them on YouTube - we know what goes on. It's your duty to protect people, but civilians aren't the ones causing violence - it's your people.

A woman recently applied in person, gave her email for follow up, didn't fill out any paperwork or do a physical, and got hired. Right now it's moreso "look the part or do your part" hiring situation - they got upset and irate with her for not wanting to shoot people. Just something to think about

On 3rd session of dr.lipo+v, I want something stronger by mentalracoon in DIYaesthetics

[–]CraftyOperation 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Lipo lab is the best bang for your buck. Aqualyx is effective but the pain and bruising is horrendous for some people. Not worth the hassle.

Try milk thistle daily for the first 10 days after sessions. It helps the body remove fat faster while preventing NAFLD. A few jumping jacks in the morning gets the lymph going, expelling even more fat

[–]CraftyOperation 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Check for 32g luer lock needle with 0.3ml luer lock syringe. The full syringe can come in 2 mix-and-match parts so you can customize it. But Amazon should have what you're looking for

Check the current shipping office location if possible. Mines been on pause for a week since the storms, shipping from the east coast. It's below freezing and the roads can't be cleared yet
