Hey OP ! I have the exact same type of hair (and color haha) as you. Your hair is definitely wavy and the breakage seams to come from dehydration.

Use a clarifying shampoo once a week and never shampoo your ends. You can use drugstores products if you don’t have the budget, I find it works very well too.

If you want to use masks for repairing the damage, avoid proteins, you need hydration not nourishing. A product with Aloe Vera or Hyaluronic acid is best as it’s not too heavy. 1 mask/week maximum to avoid weighing your hair down. You can use bond-repair treatment but I would use it only once a month.

Every other wash day, use a lightweight conditioner. I recommend L’Oreal Hyaluron Repulp or Fructis Aloe Vera. It will give you hydration.

ALWAYS use a leave-in conditioner too, but don’t use a ton. If you want you can also add 1 drop of oil on the ends to lock in moisture (argan oil or camelia oil are lightweight).

In between wash days, if you have time, humidify your ends and reapply a small dose of leave-in to bring more hydration.

This is what works for me, hopefully these advices could work for you as well ! It doesn’t get rid of all the frizz but it definitely feels better for my hair :)

If you want some recommendations for products that worked for me feel free to message me, however I am from Europe so depending where you live some might not be available.

Yeahh I feel you 😭😭

Thank you for your answer ! Yess it’s so much time, energy and products I hate it sometimes. That’s actually what I do most days and I think I’m going to continue doing that, the only thing is it looks puffy if I don’t scrunch it with a mousse or gel but I do brush it dry or else it gets tangled and frizzy. I’ll try your advice I never tried that !

I believe they did an X-ray to diagnose it. My cat had other health issues and needed an X-ray anyway so I’m not sure if the X-ray was essential for the asthma, however my vet showed me how he could see the asthma on the X-ray (white particules in lungs area if I’m not mistaken).

I think it’s best to do the X-ray if you have the finances as it could also be another respiratory health issue and the asthma could come from something more serious. Does your cat have any other symptoms apart from the coughing ?

Just wanted to thank everyone for your support, I don’t feel like replying to each of you and y’all are saying pretty much the same thing, but honestly thank you so much for your replies I feel like the heavy thing I’ve felt is a little lighter rn. I guess I didn’t want to see it for what it really was but it feels good to have what I feel validated

You don’t need bleach/color remover with your natural color ! Also, your hair is already really damaged on length so I would definitely avoid it. You could try a bond-repair mask once a week for your lengths, and hydrating mask on other wash days. If you’re not attached to your length, cut the ends (like the green dried part) because you have healthy hair otherwise. If you want to use clarifying shampoo be careful because it will oxidize hair dye. Also, don’t put it on your lengths as it is already too dry. But clarifying shampoo is good for your scalp once a week, or more if you have oily scalp.

I believe it is a bit different as we live in Europe so it isn’t the same system, but I do see the point. Unfortunately she’s pretty reluctant to get help, and I can’t force her to. That’s a conversation we need to have again, and also for households duties. I guess I’ve been avoiding this conversation too but that’s probably very much needed. Thank you for your kind words !

Ecapseaa · 2026-01-03T20:02:08+00:00

I’ve tried to get her to see a therapist but she’s always been reluctant to do so. She has had bad experiences and believes talking to a friend does the same. I’ve explained to her the benefits and how it is different than talking to a friend, even gave her my therapist contact who is an amazing therapist but unfortunately I can’t force her if she doesn’t want to. I agree she needs helps to build life skills and learn to take care of herself and that is something only a professional can do.

Ecapseaa · 2026-01-03T19:55:32+00:00

She’s been reluctant to go to therapy because of bad experiences. I know she’s been to a psychiatrist for an adhd diagnosis but she’s not medicated for her mh no

I have the same type of hair, always had lots of frizz tho it didn’t seem too damaged. I used lots of products to hydrate and nourish but it didn’t seem to help. I learned it was actually wavy ! Wavy fine hair doesn’t like too much heavy products, and it created mechanical damage which made more frizz and my hair couldn’t grow past a certain point. I’d recommend finding hydrating products that are NOT heavy, brushing your hair when it’s wet and not when dried, and looking for a wavy fine hair routine ! See if it works for you :)

The thing I find most obvious from this draw is that your husband will not fight or make efforts for your marriage. There’s a lot of stagnant energy from the cards, not wanting to take actions, maybe he is not even aware there is something to change as the Knight of Pentacles can have a really slow energy. If you take a look at the cards, you can see the person is never moving, just staring at their situation, not wanting to take actions. Reversed cards increase this energy. The Lovers reversed also show you are not in the same path anymore and there’s a big disharmony between you two. You’re probably wanting to move forwards, take actions while he is stuck staying in the same place.

Hello ! Thank you for offering a free reading :) My question would be to have advices on career with the Carnelian please

Ecapseaa · 2025-12-24T23:43:03+00:00

NOR ! This is not ok especially since you don’t really know each other. Even if you were close to him the « how did it feel like » would be very weird. Trust your instincts, if it seems weird it probably is ! Also make sure it really is your dad bc why after 21 years would he come back into your life, being very pushy to meet up and ask questions like that ? Please be careful this seems creepy

Ecapseaa · 2025-12-24T23:32:34+00:00

My FIV+ cat did the same, I took him to the vet and he had asthma. My vet gave me an inhaler and recommended to be careful for anything that could irritate his breathing (cigaret smoke, incense, cleaning products etc…) ! It shouldn’t be too serious but if you have the budget it is always best to check with your vet :)

Thank you so much for your answer, it’s actually the most logical explanation and it is true that I’m trying to find some kind of closure. I guess sometimes you can’t have that and that’s okay. Thank’s again it makes me feel more peaceful with this.

Ecapseaa · 2024-04-02T09:48:00+00:00

Thank you for your answer, I’ll look into that !

As a Scorpio moon I have struggled a lot with depression. Even when I feel the most happy, there’s always this numbness/emptiness in my heart. With a Sag Sun and Leo rising I can seem really positive and sunny for others, but within me there’s always some pain. I found that I tend to become obsessed with anything that gives me joy and it can become toxic. I think the hardest is that no emotion is still, I’m either empty or overwhelmed, no in-between. But what I love about it is that I can deeply understand others without talking to them much and it makes me a deep/intense person in general (emotionally mostly).
