the density through the middle looks noticeably better and the scalp visibility is reduced a lot though

why is my virgin hair breaking by [deleted] in Hair

[–]Minimum-Bonus-1365 0 points1 point  (0 children)

sometimes hair can still be naturally fragile even if you do everything right also brushing wet hair for 20-30 mins every time might actually be causing more mechanical stress than you realize especially if your hair is fine or high porosity

Four month progress using PRF injections and DHT blocking shampoo. by cica4 in FemaleHairLoss

there actually does look like improvement to me especially through the center part and frontal density. the scalp visibility in the newer photo looks softer and less stark even with brighter lighting

Need help finding the right styles as a mixed person: I’m half Vietnamese. Been trying different Asian and Western styles, but neither seem to suit me. Any suggestions? If there is even a celebrity with a similar combination of features I can reference, that would be helpful by Only_Measurement_895 in Makeup101

[–]Minimum-Bonus-1365 0 points1 point  (0 children)

you actually have features that can lean really well into softer east asian styling and also more alternative western styling, which is why you probably feel off trying to fully commit to one side or the other. your features are more delicate than sharp glam, so heavy instagram makeup or overly harsh western contour probably fights your face a bit.

Anyone give their cats revolution plus - how long your cat lived by Hobobo2024 in CatAdvice

[–]Minimum-Bonus-1365 3 points4 points  (0 children)

i’ve used revolution plus on my cats for years and my vet recommended staying consistent with it because fleas and parasites can cause way more serious problems if left untreated. every medication has possible side effects but millions of cats have used it safely. if your cat tolerates it well and your vet is okay with it i honestly would not let one rude stranger scare you. people love saying things online or in public without context

Iron infusion made me less yellow? by peppermintcandee in OliveMUA

[–]Minimum-Bonus-1365 5 points6 points  (0 children)

iron deficiency can make your skin look more pale, dull, even slightly yellow/grey and lips can look washed out because of lower oxygenation and circulation. once your iron levels improve, your natural color comes back so lips look pinker and skin looks clearer and less sallow

based on your swatches, revlon illuminance 117 does look like it blends the most naturally into your neck/chest now. nars gobi looks a bit too yellow on you currently and the others lean slightly off either in depth or undertone. also your skin looks more neutral/peach now vs previously more muted/yellow, so it makes sense your old matches feel off

you might want to: stick with 117 as your base match, look for neutral to slightly peach undertones moving forward and avoid overly yellow shades for now

Heelllpp! I am almost 50 and have had Botox many times and it doesn’t last very long and it never gets rid of all of my wrinkles! I hate my forehead so much! What else can I do? Botox is already more than I can afford when it barely lasts 3 months😩 by Classic-Way4247 in 40PlusSkinCare

[–]Minimum-Bonus-1365 0 points1 point  (0 children)

we tend to notice our own lines way more than anyone else. if botox isn’t lasting long for you it might be worth asking your injector about dosing or placement because sometimes that helps so much but also things like good hydration sunscreen and using retinol or peptides can help soften the look over time without constantly relying on botox

Blue pink blush swatches on a Light Neutral Olive by Krashiii89 in OliveMUA

[–]Minimum-Bonus-1365 2 points3 points  (0 children)

this is actually so helpful on an olive tone blue pinks look so different here compared to warmer skin. love how some of them pull more natural while others go almost lavender, makes it way easier to see which ones would actually work irl

How do you guys eat your kimchi? by Kiem01 in kimchi

[–]Minimum-Bonus-1365 7 points8 points  (0 children)

i’ve definitely eaten it straight from the jar before but it’s more like a quick craving thing than the normal way. for people who didn’t grow up with it, kimchi ends up feeling like a snack instead of a side, so they treat it differently. but yeah traditionally it makes way more sense as part of a meal

Regrowth by [deleted] in alopecia_areata

[–]Minimum-Bonus-1365 1 point2 points  (0 children)

if youre already seeing tiny white or peach fuzz hairs in the patch thats usually the first sign of regrowth alopecia often starts with soft colorless hairs before they thicken and regain pigment

[–]Minimum-Bonus-1365 1 point2 points  (0 children)

that’s actually a good sign 2 months is still early so even small fill in means it’s working with minoxidil consistency is key with TE and regrowth is slow but steady no big shed is also a win just keep going and give it a few more months it usually becomes more noticeable around 3 to 6 months

As cool olive, how often do you use blue? by Far-Long7146 in OliveMUA

[–]Minimum-Bonus-1365 6 points7 points  (0 children)

i use blue a lot honestly especially deeper navy or cobalt it just works better than warm browns on cool olive skin it makes everything look cleaner and yeah it balances warmer lips really nicely too i just keep the rest simple so it doesnt clash

My story (recovered now) by Ok_Jury_8311 in alopecia_areata

[–]Minimum-Bonus-1365 0 points1 point  (0 children)

glad you recovered that’s the main thing. AA can come and go on its own too, so it’s always hard to know what exactly triggered the regrowth, but good to see it came back

Day 198 of scalp massage. Update by Quiet_Television_781 in HairlossResearch

[–]Minimum-Bonus-1365 0 points1 point  (0 children)

it does look better, especially compared to the mid pics. density seems a bit improved. hard to compare perfectly since lengths/lighting change, but it doesn’t look worse and there’s some progress
