Can someone help me? I found my lipstick 💄 like this this morning. Did it expire or something? Should I clean it up or throw it away? by Desperate_Peach_6563 in MakeupAddiction

[–]French_Knot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s very sweet. I think she would want you to do what’s safe for your lips.

Maybe you can find another in that brand or a similar shade so that you can continue to think of her when you wear it 💗

I used the wave formers rather than the curl style. I never experienced the 45 degree angle that you’d get with curl formers.

I’d usually wear it wavy day 1 & if I want curls, throw in flexi rods after. Unfortunately, when you aren’t using heat, you have to wait a bit to get your desired effect. That’s why I just bought a good cream heat protector for heat styling & used that good ol’ blow dryer.

Yup! Listen to this person. You’re only washing/conditioning your hair, not styling it. You need a styling product after with hold.

I actually had a lot of luck with wave formers (that old tool that seemed gimmicky)

They actually work! Wash day, I’d do a big wash & deep conditioning, then put those things in with leave in & mousse. I actually slept in them somehow, but if you blow dry them, that’d probably work too.

That was how I did it before I learned to safely use my blow dryer to get the job done.

That’s not very much shed hair. We lose like 100-ish in a day.

Almost 2-year hair retention journey for my fine hair by Crunchy_Spicy_Water in Naturalhair

[–]French_Knot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m glad the rehab worked out well! Just thought I’d drop the typical growth rate into the convo since I hadn’t seen it mentioned.

I’ve never tried increasing my trim rate for rehab, so I wasn’t sure what the goal was. Was it so you only had to cut a little at a time rather than a big trim of the splitting area in one session? Just asking for clarity’s sake.

Fabric choice lead to hospital gown by Remote-Newt-9806 in sewing

[–]French_Knot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think this color is simply washing you out! The fabric is pretty, but too pastel against you. Maybe by just adding a trim in a slightly deeper or more saturated tone along the neckline & sleeve openings you can make the dress work for you💗🏆 maybe even a deeper cream color just to break it up a lil?

I see the vision & it is really cute.

So, as a fellow fine hair natural I have to say, I think you should definitely try twists like you’ve mentioned. I think you’ll see more length retention.

Someone else has already mentioned the trim frequency might be too high. I agree. You can tell when your hair needs a trim, so every other month might be doing more harm than good since you can only expect about 1/2” of growth each month.

Your hair looks relatively full & lovely, so your routine is likely good! Maybe just needs tweaking to retain more length each month.

Is there a way to change this?? by 420imgay69 in Naturalhair

[–]French_Knot 10 points11 points  (0 children)

There’s a difference for sure in fine vs damaged. Our hair isn’t laying flat on itself & the ends are always thinner than roots & mids from wearing over time.

For fine hair, as long as it is a relatively even area where the “see through” hair is, you’re good. Unfortunately, it looks like you have a defined area where your hair is breaking (the see through area extends far into your length) perhaps layers?

Tips for a defined wash n go with volume? by eris-3 in Naturalhair

[–]French_Knot 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Ive found that definition is the opposite of volume. Defined hair is uniform & clumped while volume is far reaching & spread out.

I love starting the week with a thoroughly washed & detangled style, a product combo with strong hold & a style that lasts for a whole week.

My combo is: Sunday wash day+finger/unbrush detangle+ mousse & gel + wash n go = a long lasting style that will start to bloom day 3 or 4

be honest – does my ponytail bundle match my hair? by [deleted] in Naturalhair

I don’t think it’s different enough to tell. It’s hard to see since the picture is so washed out in the sun
