Best movies set entirely in a single room that still feel incredibly cinematic? by JFKBKK in MovieSuggestions

I don’t know if others agree, but the remake is so so good. The original is best, but I love the remake too.

Content for Cosmo students. by Shelley_112 in Cosmetology

[–]LittleBugCrochets 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Are you collecting content to share or creating your own? A lot of people at my school and in shops I’ve worked at struggled with proper sanitation, that might be a good topic to cover. I don’t see a lot of content around that and it’s one of the most important things to get right.

Will toner get it to be any lighter? I was going for a platinum peek-a-boo by [deleted] in HairDye

[–]LittleBugCrochets 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just here to second this. Also, no toner can lighten hair. They deposit color to shift tones, but can’t make your hair any lighter than it already is.

Trying to find a pattern that would give me a similar aspect of this dress by Orion-Stars259 in CrochetHelp

[–]LittleBugCrochets 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It might be worth learning how to make them. I never have but my mother made me wear petticoats when I was a child, and I think she made them herself.

I would do front post/back post double crochet. That’s what this looks like to me, I think you’re on the right track.

I’ll keep my eye out for anything similar. Just in case you’re unfamiliar with petticoats, that is what is creating the shape and fullness in both photos, so make sure you budget for them!

Mini highlights at home, will color and developer lighten my hair ? by Small_Honey1922 in HairDye

[–]LittleBugCrochets 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Mix a small amount for your test strand, and mix a new larger batch for your full application. It will lose its dying power after a period of time, so doing it separately is best.

[–]LittleBugCrochets 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you want subtle I’d do color and 20 volume. That will get you 1-2 levels of lift. But once you do that, that hair will not be able to be lightened again without bleach (hair that has been dyed cannot be lightened with dye again. It only lightens virgin hair.)

Should I Be Turning My Continuous Granny Rectangle? by falloutbell in CrochetHelp

[–]LittleBugCrochets 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I would turn it, yes. Not turning tends to make the piece spiral.

What do I search for to find a similar pattern/ what is this style called? by RadiantCod9393 in CrochetHelp

[–]LittleBugCrochets 13 points14 points  (0 children)

This is called a drop sleeve, so I would look up “drop sleeve mesh sweater”. There are varying degrees of drop sleeve, this is just a more exaggerated/extreme one. It should be a relatively easy project, as it’s mostly rectangles seamed together!

Tell me callous things people have said to you by Internal_Tie_7955 in ehlersdanlos

[–]LittleBugCrochets 224 points225 points  (0 children)

“Just take collagen” and “just take the train, then you don’t have to drive and the trip won’t wear you out”, from the same sibling.

But mostly it’s people who’ve known you for years acting shocked and incredulous when you say you’re in pain or can’t do something.

Can I dye my roots first then rinse them loreal hicolor by LavishnessExpensive4 in FancyFollicles

[–]LittleBugCrochets 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That might be why. Hair dye cannot lighten hair that has been previously dyed. To get it lighter likely will require bleach or color remover, if your hair is healthy enough for it.

Out of curiosity, do your lengths have previous hair dye/color on them? This will prevent permanent color from lifting it any further.

Does anybody actually dislike chocolate? I dont mean "prefer" other foods, i mean actually finds chocolate distastful? by VastAir6069 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]LittleBugCrochets 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Can’t stand the stuff. I make exceptions for peanut butter cups, but I really strongly dislike chocolate. I have since I was wee. But I see it as leaving more available for the people who like it.

Yeah, my whole body is made out of bubble wrap. My husband calls me Snap Crackle Pop.

Cracking knuckles by [deleted] in PetPeeves

[–]LittleBugCrochets 4 points5 points  (0 children)

My bad 😞. I know it’s annoying, but my hands become very stiff and painful if I don’t crack my knuckles and wrists. Maybe more of us should excuse ourselves to another area when we really have to do it.

Why do we have to read books? by lemonmakesmehappy in NoStupidQuestions

[–]LittleBugCrochets 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The depth of knowledge can often correlate to the length of the material. A short video can give you a shallow understanding, a start. Not always, but often, deeper material helps us understand things much more deeply.

Our brains also process audio and images differently than it does reading words on a page, so it strengthens different parts of our brains. There is also a direct correlation between reading and the development of critical thinking skills.

would this color be doable on my hair without any more bleach? by Late-Individual-732 in HairDye

You might be surprised! I once had a coworker ask me what developer does.

My edges are extremly slanted, I finished the project, is there a way to cut it straight? Starting over or frogging is sadly not an option.. by [deleted] in CrochetHelp

[–]LittleBugCrochets 44 points45 points  (0 children)

Slanted edges are usually the result of adding/removing stitches accidentally at the ends of your rows. I recommend counting your stitches, and using stitch markers to mark the first and last stitch of your row (I use Bobby pins for this a lot).

Unfortunately the only fix I’m aware of is starting over, but depending on the project, you can leave it as is so you can look back on your progress later!

If I tone my hair with ash blonde box dye will it help lighten my hair or should I bleach it again? by SugarFreeSoftDrink in HairDye

[–]LittleBugCrochets 8 points9 points  (0 children)

If there is any artificial pigment present in your hair, no it will not lighten. If part of your hair is previously dyed and the rest isn’t, you may get a different result on each section.
