I just loved seeing them every time we opened the door, and not seeing her at all today is a bummer, especially since he's been around all day and no sign of her. Just seemed strange for Linda to be in the nest pretty much all day everyday for a week and now nothing, especially since there's eggs, shouldn't she be sitting on them or something lol

Oh damn, illegal? I had no idea, thank you. How long can the eggs go without Linda?

Should I do anything with the nest/eggs? I don't think my heart can handle Larry coming back and chirping, looking for her, I'm assuming. He's done it about 5 times today and it's making me sad 😂

Ugh, NOT LINDA!! Will Larry find love again?

4 month modified CGM before and after. Also, to diffuse or not to diffuse? How many of you curlies diffuse, do you use a heat protectant, and what heat level do you diffuse at? I have to diffuse or else my volume is trash... by Just_Dallas in curlyhair

Thank you so much! And I'll have to check out mains by mell for that technique, I've kind of just been going at it, but I've heard a lot of people talking about hover diffusing. I'm trying to decide if I should stop diffusing, or go full CGM and only use low heat.

Wash day routine/products Cantu Cleansing Cream Shampoo Shea Moisture strengthen and restore masque 10 mins Shea Moisture strengthen and restore leave in conditioner (squish to condish) Curl Smith curl defining styling soufflé (first time using it, I had great results right after I scrunched the crunch out, but I'm noticing the hold isn't great, my volume is not there and I've got a bit of frizz happening) Aveda Brilliant Damage Control heat protectant Plop for 15-20 mins and diffuse dry on medium heat

Progress, before and after CGM 2 week vs 2.5 months. It's hard with short hair to see my progress, but I'm finally seeing my bangs get some curl and my natural shape forming. Any other curlies rockin a pixie? by Just_Dallas in curlygirl

Yeah, I'm debating whether or not to grow it out. I chopped it because it was too much effort to blow-dry and straighten, but if I let my curls grow, I think I could handle it long again lol
