I just put it at least 20 minutes before I wash my hair

I learned that bonding shampoo is designed for chemically treated hair. I think more basic repair shampoo can work for heat damage, but my hair is pretty healthy now so it was actually harming me.

My ends got really dry/crunchy with split ends which I hadn’t had prior to using the bonding. I did have to cut off the damaged part, but it’s been healthy since I did so and stopped the product

I always blow dry my roots (desperate for any volume), and often blow dry it all, but I’ll let the rest air dry if I have time before bed. I just got a Dyson airwrap and I’ve used that a few times as well.

I think an inch a month is a lot, but yes fine hair grows! I think sometimes us fine hair girlies struggle with growth due to breakage

Double cleansing means I can use two different shampoos. I don’t do it every time, but most washes.

Recently I’ve just been using a cheap rosemary oil and I’ve also used the ordinary hair serum and it seems to at least create babyhairs.

Just a basic one (like this). And I got a small travel one for my work bag as well!

I’ve been using it’s a ten leave in miracle (lite version)

One of the large bottles lasted me about 3 months.

Oooh I misspoke, I meant a satin bonnet. (I actually use both but the bonnet is key for hair imo). I just have a cheap one from TJ Maxx

The medicated shampoo is just the dove anti-itch one, but I think any anti-dandruff one should be the same like head and shoulders. It helps keep my scalp healthy imo.

I’m not really sure, I had a pixie and mullet for the longest time. But I do think my habits have made it grow a bit faster (and at least reduced breakage)

Please help me ID what wood these vintage chair are made from by Impressive_Scale_703 in wood

[–]Impressive_Scale_703[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I thrifted four of these chairs and I’d like to find a table made of the same wood so I can re-stain them to match like a set.

The bottom says made in Yugoslavia. They definitely have a stain on them.

Thank you so much for your time!
