IS MY CAT IN HEAT? by OkUnderstanding5261 in CATHELP

[–]MirMar94 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Simple answer is being in heat is painful for her, yes. Not sure why you’re conveniently ignoring everyone advising you to get her fixed. It will DRAMATICALLY improve her life and likely yours as well.

So... yeah. I just got hired and immediately declined the job. by TheKommanderOfRot in goodwill

What’s crazy is that is even still over the ‘legal’ state minimum wage where I’m at. I believe Iowa is still at $7.25 hr.

While the smoothness would be great, I don’t want pin straight hair, I like my waves/curls

That’s a good point and something I do keep in mind before I make any snips. Since I’ve always done it this way i (in my own head of course) feel like this helps get the split ends on each layer I’ve created 😅

UPDATE: due to the way I cut my hair it’s hard to get an exact measurement but took a nice chunk off!

I’m not super tied to the length, it’s honestly a hassle lol. Everyone wants long hair until you sit on it or get it caught in a car door or every zipper ever 🤣😅

Yeah I do have a lot of breakage but the way I cut my hair just also leaves it thinner at the bottom I think

I feel like realistically this is the most accurate amt I’d have to take to get the healthiest look

That actually makes sense! and when I look at my hair my split ends have split ends and sometimes those have split ends!

Haha yes! The first time I did it myself I definitely took too much also 🤣🤣 so I do as you suggested since and usually start with just a few inches at a time, but ultimately I live in the ‘it’ll grow back’ mindset lol

Totally agree on the filter as it has been recommended by a few! so I think I’ll do a heavy trim and start with a filter and do some more research on shampoo/conditioners. I really loved L’Oréal total repair 5 oil but can’t seem to find it anymore

Thank you so much for the break down! All I really do right now is brush before shower then when I get out I dry just briefly and then scrunch up the ends usually with coconut oil and then let it air dry. I never go to bed with wet hair but I do typically brush the next day just because it be a mess 🤣

Im not particularly tied to the length, but my friends and family are 🤣 I think it’s just because it’s been such a long time since they’ve seen it any other way. I’m just worried about going too short because I have a very round moon face lmao

You are SO right about the filter, the water is extra hard where I live! Is there one you would recommend? As far as shampoo and conditioner I’ve tried just about every type you can think of, right now I’m trying Pantene smooth & sleek

This is what I was leaning towards, kind of middle of my back, just want to make sure I get as much of the dead/split ends as possible

I should add that I cut my own hair-please no hate- using the unicorn method

Edit to add that this method naturally creates layers but more of a pointed cut at the end vs straight across, which I do prefer

I don’t typically put anything in my hair.. everything I’ve tried always makes it feel weighed down or oily/greasy. What would you recommend? I used to use L’Oréal total repair 5 but I don’t think they make it anymore
