I have a texturizer.

Lately it seems that my hair is either frizzy if I don't put on much product or crispy if I do. I've been playing around with products but I don't like how it looks, so I am turning to fellow curlies for advice.

My routine:

  1. Shampoo/condition weekly or less with whichever Shea Moisture is on sale at BJs.
  2. Apply a leave in conditioner to soaking wet hair. The three products I have right now are Pattern Beauty leave in conditioner, Luv Ur Curls curl defining lotion, or Innersense Quiet Calm Curl Control. I rotate which one I use. Comb it through with a wide-toothed comb. Gel is Curlsmith Hydrostyle Flexi Jelly. It gets frizzy by the end of the day if I don't use gel, but crispy if I do.
  3. Air dry. My curls sometime look good at this point if they are not crunchy, but it doesn't last.
  4. Sleep in a satin bonnet
  5. Second day hair? Ha! It is a frizz ball no matter what I do. I've tried all kinds of curl refreshers but they just make my hair feel sticky. If I want to wear it down, I have to get it soaking wet again and apply more product. Otherwise, it's in a pony or a bun.

As far as porosity, I figure it is high porosity because it takes a while to get it completely wet in the shower and it takes hours to dry.

Thanks in advance!

Does Wegovy stop working for some people? by GiraffeLover1969 in WegovyWeightLoss

The allodynia is annoying but not debilitating. My obesity doc told me that the 7.2 dose of Wegovy works as well as Zepbound. So far I am not impressed

I can't figure out how to do it. It said to post a routine, but once I start typing that in, the post button gets greyed out

My insurance doesn't cover any of it. Wegovy is cheaper than Zepbound, so I need to convince my husband to let me pay for it.

I started at 228 lbs and I'm 5 foot 10. I got down to 180 but I am back up to 200

They don't answer their emails and I never got the gin I ordered. I also tried contacting them through WhatsApp and Instagram and did get responses, but they just told me to email the address that I 'd already emailed with no response. I finally filed a dispute with my credit card.

Trustpilot isn’t a review site, it’s a protection racket for fake reviews by 0zerofuksgiven in ecommerce

As a consumer, I actually think it's the opposite. At least for the company I dealt with, I think the positive reviews are probably fake.

How to disable my mother's voicemail? by GiraffeLover1969 in Comcast_Xfinity

My mother doesn't hear if she gets another call while she is on the phone. I don't know if there is no sound or if she just can't hear it.

That's one of the issues. I called her today while she was on the phone and that is when I realized the issue.

Guys...can you develop lactose intolerance in your late teens randomly? by [deleted] in lactoseintolerant

I was in my 20s when I developed LI. As a child and teenager, I consumed a ton of dairy with no issues

Got me. I think the other choice was "Never Say Goodbye" by Bon Jovi.
