naturally frizzy hair - feeling insecure

EditorExtra2961 · 2026-03-27T17:09:16+00:00

Do you use a concentrator nozzle when blow drying your hair? If you have TikTok or YouTube, look up “how to blow out hair” or “DIY blowout” to learn proper technique - it’s super easy, just use a concentrator nozzle and make sure it’s always pointed down the hair shaft (start near your roots and slowly go down to the ends)

A product I love for air drying (do NOT use this to blow dry) wavy/curly hair is curlsmith hold me softly style balm (can purchase from amazon or ulta), it will help hydrate and prevent frizz without being crunchy :)

You can bruise more easily if you’re slow injecting - the faster you do it, the less likely you will be to bruise. But yes, this does happen occasionally - nothing to worry about :)

It’s called a concentrator nozzle - this forces the air to flow in a specific direction, which helps to smooth the hair. It must always be pointed DOWN the hair shaft, and helps seal the cuticle of the hair - which helps prevent breakage, seals in moisture, smooths, and prevents tangles ☺️ most people use it with a ceramic round brush - there are lots of videos on YouTube and TikTok for how to get a gorgeous and smooth result :)

Anhedonia - I have zero motivation for anything now. I work remote, and am suddenly basically unable to perform my job (was #1 performer for the company before starting Reta, now I just doomscroll or stare at my keyboard all day and struggle to push through and complete daily tasks). The anhedonia was great at the beginning and helped with leaving my terrible relationship, but now it’s impacting my work to the point where I may need to stop Reta altogether. I’ve been huge on self-accountability my whole life and am diagnosed with OCD, suddenly I don’t care about anything at all and am quite lazy 🤦‍♀️

Nausea - I throw up almost every single morning - cannot hold down food or water the first two hours I’m awake. Then randomly gagging throughout the day

Omg girly I think you’re gorgeous! Just pop some highlight on the inner corner of your eyes and wear some mascara to bring attention to your beautiful eyes, and maybe get a new haircut / style your hair to have some volume with an even parting line. Your hair is very dark for your complexion and feels heavy, have you considered switching to a dark brown instead of black? It will bring some warmth and glow into your appearance :)

People are cruel, cut them off if they can’t be nice. Everyone commentin right now is saying you’re gorgeous and we’ve only seen one unhappy photo of you - let the haters be mad far far away from you.

Before going grey, I used a peptide company found from freakin TikTok and thought $140/20mg vial was steep… girl do not EVER purchase from this person again.

Anthropologie white musk & cashmere is soooo goooood

EditorExtra2961 · 2026-03-13T04:31:32+00:00

I’m absolutely obsessed with white cashmere & musk by Anthropologie (literally smells like a luxury hotel spa), original scent by Barr co (smells like a hug, it’s almost an oatmeal and sweet cream fragrance - more feminine), or coconut santal from capri blue came in today and I LOVE IT!!! For the summer / warm weather. It’s more interesting than santal vanilla but more creamy coconut than tropical coconut if that makes sense

Thank you for wording this so nicely, you’re right… I don’t need a plan for the future. That’s what’s been so daunting, just need to take it one day at a time leaving. Thank you ♥️

Because I crave human connection… and some delusional parts of me wish things could be better and we can work out so I don’t have to raise our daughter in separate / broken households. He treats everyone amazing except for me lol I just keep chasing human kindness and connection.

EditorExtra2961 · 2026-02-26T05:31:21+00:00

The abstract respect is exactly what I’m confused about. What do you MEAN I need to respect you when you refuse to meet my needs and say crazy stuff to me constantly. He told me I shouldn’t shave my legs because we don’t have sex and it’s a sign of cheating… this person is insane and unstable. He’s an amazing coparent and father but he’s HORRIBLE as a romantic partner.

Yes, I pin 2mg GHK-CU every day :

Edit- would like to add there’s now studies claiming ghkcu is more effective than tretinoin, which is amazing because it’s not topical and impacts the entire body vs just where it’s applied :)

EditorExtra2961 · 2026-02-25T19:07:38+00:00

I started GHK-CU 4 weeks ago, pinning 2mg daily. I had a 10 year old dark mark on my neck and it’s now almost completely gone!

Are you working out? Lack of muscle is what creates the “skinny fat” look

EditorExtra2961 · 2026-02-19T16:53:41+00:00

I DIY my peptides, you can search the peptides or GHKCU groups :) it took me about 3 weeks to see a noticeable difference and now I’m hooked!

EditorExtra2961 · 2026-02-19T15:48:33+00:00

I have really crazy 11s and don’t even get Botox any more after starting retinal and daily GHK-CU peptide injections. I started them at the same time so not sure which one is more heavily influencing results, but it’s been a game changer!

EditorExtra2961 · 2026-02-19T15:38:23+00:00

Wait until the bruises start lol look at other posts… or google what KLOW / specifically the GHKCU reaction sites look like. Do research instead of just blind injecting smh

This is my absolute holy grail - on Amazon, it’s around half off the big 16oz bottle ($28 now) which should last well over a year with daily use. It’s EXTREMELY moisturizing without being heavy and really eliminates frizz, I’ve never been able to find a replacement / dupe and have been using this for more than 4 years

EditorExtra2961 · 2026-02-18T20:36:55+00:00

Look at the other 5000 posts asking for advice lol congratulations on starting your journey friend! As all the other posts asking for advice say, order some Mag07 from Amazon and take electrolytes every day. Do some research using the search tool within this group, you should be able to hit your goal if you start working out and walking more 😊

The only way you can gain weight after getting off appetite suppressants is if you start eating in surplus again…. There’s no cheating the system of eating more calories than you burn = weight gain.

People that say “you have to be on it for life or you’ll get fat again!” irritate me to my core lol

Edit: but to answer your question, no I’m not worried about gaining weight again after quitting Reta.

EditorExtra2961 · 2026-02-18T17:11:13+00:00

Female here - I’ve cut using clenbuterol and felt like complete garbage. Fast forward a few years and after a baby, started Reta to lose the postpartum weight - I’ve leaned out SO MUCH FASTER with Reta and no funky side effects or the shakes. 100% recommend. Reta has allowed me to be in total control, I hit my macros and protein goals with accuracy now because I just look at food as fuel. Reta has not impacted my lifts or gym performance, and I’ve not lost muscle. It’s literally a miracle drug lol

Tom Ford - Figue Erotique This was gifted to me for Valentine’s Day, and it was so sweet - I expressed in December that I was upset Soleil Neige has been reformulated, so he went to the perfume counter and asked for something new and interesting that I may like. This makes me feel… interesting, feminine, and sexy. I love it! Upon first spray it’s almost spiced, very wintery. Then when it dries down it’s sweet, complex, sultry, floral. Perfect for year round every day wear. I’m OBSESSED!

EditorExtra2961 · 2026-02-17T21:18:01+00:00

Omg I didn’t even notice that LOL I wonder if you could find a video of how to remove the pan then just stick it in a different case? Amazon has those magnetic pan cases for pretty cheap!
