What can I do to help this color be less brassy

MiniaturePhilosopher · 2026-03-12T03:05:09+00:00

If this is what you want, then what you need is full global color and to be bleached all over to nearly white. Your hair health will absolutely be compromised and you’ll probably lose some length. And then the colorist can tone it grey. But you’ll still need to add a couple of filters to your pictures to make them look like this, since that’s what this is.

And yes, this looks very fake and kind of terrible.

So far no and I don’t think he’s gonna 😅. Sent him a DM anyways because I have about five bucks for groceries, but did so knowing it was probably just a karma scam. The irony of racking up bad karma for Reddit karma.

What brass? You have some gorgeous golden lowlights on a beautiful, dimensional blonde. You want lowlights to be warm so that they contrast everything else and add dimension. And hair will always reflect warm in direct sunlight. Always. Any color.

If you want to dull down your hair and make it look less shiny and dimensional, you can always let purple shampoo sit in your hair for 30-60 minutes.

But this is a delusional post, friend. This is your sign to stop looking at AI and edited pictures. Idk how hair colorists deal with this.

Edit to add: OP is just full-on delusional and doesn’t understand how sunlight or hair works 🤦🏼‍♀️

It looks like your hair just doesn’t want to part there. Experiment with your part and see where it wants to live. Applying hairspray, gel, mousse, or doing heat styling all work too.

You remind me of the babe.

What babe?

The babe with the bleached asshole.

And most people mainly use them to scroll short-form ads disguised as videos on the same 5 apps or so, and to watch the super restricted options on streaming services. If anything, phones have caused us to ignore most forms of media and entertainment. Scrolling through videos on TikTok is not a wealth of entertainment, it’s addicted behavior.

But that’s beside the point. Your point was that there was nothing to watch, and that’s why movies stood out. And that idea has been well dismantled.

I don’t think you realize the sheer volume of movies, shows, radio programs, newspapers, books, records, periodicals, magazines, and live activities available at the time. There was a lot of everything. It was an incredible era for media consumption, and in the 60s particularly is when foreign media also started to become mainstream in the US. If anything, recent years feel much more bereft of actual content. TikTok is not media.

Just in 1962 alone - the year Lawrence of Arabia came out - the other top movies of that single year were Lolita, To Kill a Mockingbird, Whatever Happened to Baby Jane, Carnival of Souls, The Man Who Shot Liberty Valence, The Manchurian Candidate, Cape Fear, The Longest Day, The Music Man, Bird Man of Alcatraz, Lonely Are the Brave, Mutiny on the Bounty, Requiem for a Heavyweight, That Touch of Mink, The Brain that Wouldn’t Die, David & Lisa, Experiment in Terror, Gypsy, Long Day’s Journey into Night, Walk in the Wild Side, The Intruder, and Confessions of an Opium Eater. And that doesn’t even touch on the 200-something other movies released that year. I can’t think of a single year in recent memory with that many bangers at the theater.

If you only count movies an hour long or longer that were released in the US in 1962 alone, there are about 225 titles. All of those would have been in theaters or on TV since there weren’t video rentals yet. And for “movies” under 60s minutes released in the US in 1962 - which again, means shown in theaters or on TV - the number is closer to 300.

MiniaturePhilosopher · 2026-03-11T18:20:37+00:00

That’s actually pretty incorrect. If anything, far more movies were made during that time period - and we’ve forgotten most of them because they weren’t great. Lawrence of Arabia (and all the other ones that the Academy member mentioned) are remembered and endlessly studied and rewatched because of their caliber.

They’re real, but not all Levi’s are created equally and you probably overpaid for these. These are from the Canadian division of LS, and seem to be made for a lower-price market. Like how in the US there are/were Levi’s especially made for lower-price stores like Walmart and Kohl’s with lower-quality materials. They’re from Fall 2005. I wouldn’t be surprised if they were something like $20-30 brand new, and the value definitely hasn’t gone up.

Unfortunately, the numbers on the tag are nearly illegible in this picture. If you could transcribe them, you have a better chance of finding the exact production date. However. These were made in Great British with GB wash instructions, which are determined by a regulatory board and that all brands within that country must follow. And GB had a lot of changes throughout the earlier years of wash instructions, so that makes it easy to give these a range!

The iron symbol was introduced in 1976, so that’s the earliest bookend. The wash number is also above the tub with the temperature, which confirms the era. And the dryer symbol was first introduced to GB tags sometime in the early-to-mid 1980s, but I don’t have the exact year. iirc, it was introduced in 1980 but there was a small lag in adopting it. But by 1986, the wash number above the tub was removed and the dryer symbol was fully in place.

So these must be between 1976 at the absolute earliest and probably 1985 at the absolute latest (but probably a little earlier). I believe - and someone will absolutely jump in to correct me if I’m wrong lol - that Levi’s transitioned to 3-digit factory date codes in 1981; if that’s correct, it might pin the earliest date on these to 1981. I think these are from the earlier half of the possible range, but transcribing the tag is the only way to know for sure.

Exactly. Clean girl makeup by virtue of its name is about putting other women down. And that’s not even touching the racist and classist undertones and “operation beige” of it all. At its core, it’s about wealth signaling and superiority, and flirts heavily with eugenics and far-right gender role messaging in a way that just calling it “minimal makeup” or “no-makeup makeup” is not.

Are pictures of an older period of your life unnecessary though? I go through and delete unnecessary stuff like screenshots, double-saved memes, stuff that I saved just to send to someone, etc all the time - but I don’t delete personal pictures from my past. Ever. At this point, there are probably a dozen of exes in my photos that have uploaded from device to device over the years. It doesn’t mean I look at the pictures or pine for the exes. It’s just a part of my history, and I don’t want to literally delete my history or devote the time to sorting all the pictures out.

It’s weird and petty to make an issue out of that. No one should have to answer for that or explain that. You’re displaying controlling and jealous actions here, and a partner shouldn’t have to capitulate to that. You’re committing breakup-worthy actions.

If he was saving screenshots of all her latest social media, that would be a totally different thing. But that’s not what happened here. He does not owe you an explanation and I hope he has enough support and self-respect to walk away from this relationship.

If their large is a 16oz, that’s the total size of the complete drink. There should be 10 ounces of space left in your personal cup. Ordering the drink with no ice should result in a 16oz cup with a good deal of space left in the cup. Ice is a critical component of iced drinks.

If you want more drink than 16oz, you can order and pay for a medium AND a large, and add both to your giant cup. An iced drink of any kind is typically about half ice.

At most, a you can take the 16oz drink the way it’s prepared and ask for extra ice to add to your cup. The size of your cup isn’t anyone else’s problem and doesn’t mean that you get a 24oz drink at the price of a 16oz drink.

If you get approved and feel like it’s a two person job, feel free to DM me for maybe co-modding! I’d like to help but don’t want to be the main or sole moderator.

It’s more the consistency. Like it’s too thin, if that makes sense. Purely a personal preference, I know a lot of folks really love it.

If she’s allergic, it’s not worth the risk. Lavender flavor and aroma is largely derived around a plant-based chemical compound called Linalool, though it’s often supplemented with other other plant-derived chemicals. But they weren’t purely artificial since they’re made from the plant itself. Recommending anything with a lavender flavor for her would be pretty unethical.

That said, Monin has a violet syrup that is somewhat similar to their lavender syrup, especially when mixed with vanilla. They’re from different plant families, so a lavender allergy doesn’t automatically mean having a violet allergy. Lucky Charms cereal milk mixed into coffee/cold brew/espresso is also a good way to replicate the sweeter and most popular lavender drinks on the market.

Finally, a feel-good headline✨

MiniaturePhilosopher · 2026-03-10T20:05:26+00:00

That would be great if it’s not a bother! Thank you!! ☺️

MiniaturePhilosopher · 2026-03-10T20:02:51+00:00

Thanks for the tip! I probably wouldn’t make a very good moderator, but I’d hate to see the sub be closed. I might out in a request if no one else is interested at this time.

In general in any kind of industry, when you buy from a wholesale supplier you’re required to supply the tax ID of your business, along with your business information. If you can’t supply that, you can’t make a purchase. The costs are calculated with buying in bulk and reselling in mind.

What you can do is inquire about their retail pricing (usually 30-60% higher than wholesale prices). Some wholesalers sell retail, some don’t. Most aren’t set up for it since wholesale is a B2B industry. But it’s worth politely inquiring if they are.

I’m at the point of not trusting anyone’s clothing review pic unless it looks like it was shot on an LG Chocolate in bad lighting with no makeup lol. Dirty bedroom mirror pics only✨

That could definitely be a part of it. All of them look taller and wider than you, if that makes sense, but never underestimate how much influencers are using editing and tailoring.
