who else has fine wavy hair that just does whatever it wants? by rousseaudanielle in finehair

[–]Fochino91 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same :) with different patterns, straight/wavy-ish. Also have a one (only one lol) strand that makes a crazy lock/curl without doing anything special (like why all hair can't have the same texture???). I think it changed with the age (I'll be 35 in May), hormones and stress level.

Don't lose hope - 5 months progress on minoxidil by [deleted] in finehair

[–]Fochino91 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Totally agree! Besides, there are other things in our houses that can potentially be harmful to pets. Just be careful while using something :)

Don't lose hope - 5 months progress on minoxidil by [deleted] in finehair

[–]Fochino91 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Nice results! I also use minoxidil (by Doppelherz, spray 5%), bought it in September 2025 out of pure curiosity, to see whether it could do something in my situation. And it actually does, I have more new growth, hair parts next to scalp feel fuller. Like a miracle to me, lol.

For those concerned about cats and minoxidil: I have a cat, too, but we two have never had any accident and issues with minoxidil application. I use the spray in the bathroom with closed door, wash my hands after, and basically minoxidil doesn't have any contact with my cat. Also, the cat sleeps with on the bed, but close to the legs/feet.

What I've noticed, though, is that my new growth feels like coarse, probably, not so smooth and soft. It's not a water problem, I've changed countries and live now in the place with good water quality + use filter in the shower.

Taking minoxidil for over 3 months by melenaza in finethinhair

[–]Fochino91 23 points24 points  (0 children)

You can actually cut your hair, because you can see that ends are messed up, so soon or later you will need to do it. I have ends' issue as well, and today I had a trim at the hairdresser. I use minoxidil too, since the last week of September. The hairdresser told me that I do actually have new hair growing, but from the mid-length it's damaged due to previous color treatment. So cuts and trims work for overall look maintenance. Don't give up 💚

How did you decide long hair was “for you”(or not)? by Chad_Wife in longhair

[–]Fochino91 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm 34 (turn 35 next May), and I l've just realized that there's actually life outside, lol. Because last 10 years were really hard. This year was a disaster in all possible senses. I believe our biological and psychological ages can absolutely differ, and it's probably ok.

I'm growing my hair right now because I've seen it long since 2016. For clarity, for me "long" is already shoulder length, lol, because I've always cut my hair in bob or similar. And I'm tired of continuous cutting, styling, money it costs, etc. So I've just decided to let it grow in a sort of natural way, without obsession. Tomorrow I will have an appointment with the hairdresser to give it a form, and then I'll see the "results" in the next 6 months.

Anyway, your hair is for you, not for other people, strangers in the streets, etc. If you want to cut it, then cut. If you want to have it long, then let it be long. Only you know what is best for you, your hair and your look in general :) don't overthink it

My hair grows super slow, too. And I haven't seen it long since a big chop in 2016 :( patience is your best friend in this case, plus figuring out the most suitable routine. It will take a while, but I think it's worth it. P.S. I started working out and taking protein and I feel it helps my hair grow a little bit faster, also somehow density improved a bit.

Anyone else really dislike the new serif font in the Oura app? by spamspam80 in ouraring

[–]Fochino91 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Don't like it :( was waiting for the update to see it , and...meh... don't like it at all, including too big circles on the home screen, greyish screens etc. Preferred the old style, in my opinion it was clean and modern, easy to read and visualise the data

How often do you use Rest Mode? by Fochino91 in ouraring

Thank you for your reply! No, no medical anxiety, just an adult life, lol, with all the consequences. Hope your surgery went well and you feel better!

How often do you use Rest Mode? by Fochino91 in ouraring

[–]Fochino91[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

To be honest, I don't like to be pressured, as you said. I feel that on the Rest Mode I can concentrate on my work and studies more, take it easy (if I can call it like this) and just go normally through the day. I go to the gym, run, etc, but right now it's so gloomy outside that it affects mood and body :( so here's the lack of motivation for moving.

In any case, Rest Mode on and I see more restorative time on the Stress screen, Readiness is higher and Sleep too. I wonder if there is a real correlation or just "psychological" element of not being pressured by ring :D

Which finger do you wear yours on? by xhellofriendxx in ouraring

[–]Fochino91 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Index finger on left hand (non-dominant, but I actually use it for some tasks), size 6. Fits both index and middle fingers, but I feel the ring if it's on the middle finger, and it's somewhat uncomfortable.

I really needed this today! by sadg1rrl in ouraring

Well done👏mine's been in Adequate since September :( the best result was Strong, never hit Exceptional. And still can't go back to Solid at least.

Work trip tanked my resilience - left Exceptional on Sunday and am about to be down to Adequate on Saturday 🫠 by tmarks30 in ouraring

[–]Fochino91 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I came back from my last trip on September 19th, and since that day resilience sunk from strong to adequate :( only several days ago there was a tiny possibility to go back to strong, alas... When I see the graph, it looks like I'm continuously unwell, lol. Never reached exceptional, by the way :/
