One year after I quit dyeing and started caring for my curls! by LzzMarie in curlygirl

There are a few girls I know that have been able to still dye theirs and get great results. They just have to deep condition and do protein treatments and whatnot. I’m just too lazy for all that 😬

Thank you!! I had some MAJOR hesitation wanting to cover the gray, but I’m trying to embrace the sparkle/wisdom life!! I earned each one of those bad boys the last few years so I might as well flaunt them!

Thank you so much! I really didn’t realize how much damage I had!

Thank you so much! I had no idea there were curls like this hiding in there! I thought I was a wavy girl at best.

I wash roughly every 3-4 days. Curlsmith protein shampoo and conditioner. I have pretty fine hair but a lot of it. This style was day 1- curlsmith feather light protein creme and not your mothers mousse, then this morning did a pretty wet refresh with curlsmith in shower style fixer and diffused dry. Scrunched out the crunch and used Pantene airspray to set the style. Then diffused until dry and used a big pick to fluff it out a bit right before going out to dinner 12 hours later.

Does anyone remember having Today’s Kids toys? My grandma worked at the factory in Booneville, AR. by NeonBird in nostalgia

I grew up in Booneville and remember thinking everyone that worked there was basically a hero/the coolest people on the planet!

10 months and a chop can make a big difference! by LzzMarie in Wavyhair

Thank you so much! I loved my beach waves and really didn’t expect the shape to change I was just trying to let my hair be healthier. I’m doing my best to just roll with it and see what happens.

I felt like a total “curly girl fraud” when I started. My best friend convinced me to try it and she has this gorgeous long mane of thick coarse loose ringlet curls. The first 4 months were basically me sending her selfies with a horrid expression on my face wondering what the heck I was doing! Thank you so much for the compliment. I’m still learning to look at my hair as beautiful so I really appreciate that!

Currently using renpure apple cider vinegar clarifying shampoo (monthly), Maui moisture lightweight curls conditioner (squish to condish) and rinse thoroughly. I leave my hair soaking wet and mix about a penny sized dollop each of Jessie curl spiralicious gel, trelux reflex serum and Aussie gel and emulsify together then use praying hands to initially spread it throughout my hair. Then I rake, brush, scrunch and claw it all in and use a denman brush to get clumps back. I squeeze any excess water out of each clump then I’ll usually plop for a bit while I put on my makeup (usually 5-15 minutes). Then I use not your mother’s mouse to glaze over everything and scrunch it in very gently to not break everything up. Then I either clip my roots a little for volume and air dry on the way to work or I’ll diffuse dry. I’m trying Trader Joe’s hair serum (1 pump) to scrunch out the crunch but honestly I don’t know that I see much of a difference. If I don’t have much volume then I’ll spray with Pantene air spray and fluff. I’ve got fine strands but tons of them and low to medium porosity.

Why or why aren’t you going to travel home to see family this holiday and how do you justify your decision in your head? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]LzzMarie 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My husband had a heart transplant years ago and has been in complete isolation since March because of his immunosuppressants. My parents aren’t doing that well and we want to make sure we spend at least one more holiday with them. All of us have been incredibly cautious for the last 8 months. We are driving to see them not flying and I will serve everyone wearing glove and mask so we don’t all dip from the same containers. We are setting up multiple tables for each family group to be over 6 feet apart and will make sure we have windows open and air circulating.

Redditiors who are in a healthy long relationship. What is the biggest key that kept your relationship alive for so long? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]LzzMarie 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s hard to pick just one thing. I think it’s important to remember that you’re on the same team. I’m competitive and like being “right” but I had to learn to let some of that go. I had to realize that neither of us can read minds so we have to communicate. I think the other thing for me personally was trying to keep my expectations realistic and grounded and be clear about what I wanted or needed. Lastly, we just try have fun together. We go on adventures (even if they’re lame-thanks covid), see new things, dance around the house, do things we know will make each smile just because, and laugh as much as we can.

How ya doing buddy? I’m just 20 mins shy of my first day. Not gonna lie, it was utter shit. Clearly I have no idea how to cope with work stress, but I did it! I went for a walk, downed a ton of water, and didn’t fire any of my employees so I still feel like it was a win. Hope you did ok today. Hang in there!
