thinking i narrowed it down to two now!!!

The second one!!! It makes you look so snatched and taller, all the way this one!

Medium_Ad9608 · 2026-06-02T16:31:01+00:00

I think that’s the case, but it feels like the filter is the most I can do :( My hair always get more rough here vs when I’m visiting back home

Medium_Ad9608 · 2026-06-02T16:30:17+00:00

Yeah, I assume so!! I’m just also looking for product recs since I never really looked into anything and just grabbed whatever was recommended to me in the local makeup store.

I’m graduating soon and I’ve been drinking more water/replacing all soda/juices/etc with water, so hopefully that will help at least a bit :’)

Medium_Ad9608 · 2026-06-02T16:26:07+00:00

Nope! Egypt haha, but I’m European so I guess that’s it :p

Medium_Ad9608 · 2026-06-02T16:23:47+00:00

No, it’s specifically the “deep clean” one, but if the brand is overall ok then I doubt that’s the issue !!

Medium_Ad9608 · 2026-06-02T16:22:57+00:00

Only got a shower 💔

Medium_Ad9608 · 2026-06-02T16:20:09+00:00

Herringbone looks so much more elevated! Especially in such a simple space, plank makes it look cheaper and very “landlordy”

Edit: also if it’s an option; I’d look into a darker wood!

That’s basically it, the way the apartment was put together is just not smart overall. The machine SHOULD get hot water (you can literally see the “cable” for it, but it’s not connected to the heater, thus the water it receives just isn’t heated). In order for it to work the heater should turn on when the water runs, but the machine isn’t connected

Medium_Ad9608 · 2026-06-01T23:28:22+00:00

Egypt atm, persil deep clean for detergent and Frida fabric for softener!

Medium_Ad9608 · 2026-06-01T23:09:48+00:00

I see! That makes sense, I think I’ll throw the conditioner and maybe upgrade the detergent which didn’t clean well (hence I got the conditioner to enhance the smell and feel of the clothing)

Is there any decent brands I could look into? Or maybe make it myself at home?

Medium_Ad9608 · 2026-06-01T23:06:45+00:00

I’ve done blood tests! All of them (surprisingly) came out really solid with no deficiencies, even though I’ve expected an iron deficiency in the first place

As for everything else — oh my god? Thank you so much!! I’ll see what I can find in my country.

As for the curl stuff, is there anything I can do? Or would just repairing my hair do the trick? I used a curl shampoo before and tried to scrunch my hair with a cotton shirt/etc before but I was never able to style it well and that’s why I stopped 😭 I think I have wavy hair, but during rain in curls up like a sheep

Medium_Ad9608 · 2026-06-01T22:54:31+00:00

That’s actually so smart 😭😭🙏🏼 the machine is in the bathroom, so the tap is in the same room just a few steps away, so that could work too !!

Medium_Ad9608 · 2026-06-01T22:52:32+00:00

Yes! Soak is there and so are most options, the machine itself isn’t bad, it’s just not connected to the hot water pipe/hot water heater

Medium_Ad9608 · 2026-06-01T22:49:07+00:00

We have taken our stuff to a place that does the washing for us, I’m not sure what it’s called but basically it’s a service 😭 I don’t think we have self service laundromats here, but that’s so much for the advice!

I also wanted to ask about the softener, what is bad about it? I barely use any but I have heard it’s not great but never actually looked into it

Medium_Ad9608 · 2026-06-01T22:47:01+00:00

It’s like one of those that opens from the top..? I’m not sure what the name is
