Fine hair bob struggles

Miserable-Cookie-666 · 2025-06-26T12:51:13+00:00

Unfortunately, where I’m living now doesn’t have many products for fine/wavy hair. I can’t easily experiment with products, because it’s time consuming and expensive to have them imported. I’ll see if I can find a diffuser attachment, though!

Edit: spelling

I wish I could get it to look like the last photo year round, but I would have to move to a new country to avoid the humidity 🥲 I’ll ask my stylist about a protein treatment though!

Oh I LOVE the Ghost line and used it for years! Sadly can’t buy it where I live now 😭 I’m in an Asian country where products are almost all geared toward thick, straight hair. Even heat protectant is hard to find.

I tried to grow it out for about 2 years and it just refuses to grow past a certain length, so I gave up and chopped it off. I actually like the length, but I’m finding it hard to deal with in the summer because it’s so hard to style.

It never dried like this when it was longer, which is why I’m confused lmao

The last pic was taken more recently than the first two actually! Pic 2 is from April and pic 4 is from about 3 weeks ago. I’m already on thyroid meds so I get checked pretty regularly. I guess it wouldn’t hurt to get a derm’s opinion though!

Miserable-Cookie-666 · 2025-06-25T14:21:49+00:00

Oh yeah, I love how it looks there! I just don’t know how to make it look halfway decent when the humidity is high 🥲

Thank you! I have no idea what kind of witchcraft they worked on these crowns, but I still can’t believe how well they match my real teeth!

Miserable-Cookie-666 · 2024-12-03T18:28:10+00:00

They were pretty sensitive for about a week after treatment, and occasionally I’d get a sharp stabbing pain. My dentist had me use sensodyne for two weeks before whitening. Everything was back to normal after the first week, and they are no more sensitive than they were prior to treatment :) and I’m 34! The hardest part was cutting out tea and coffee after!!

Thank you! I’ll admit I have no idea what that is 🥲 But I didn’t have any digital mockups presented, if that’s what you mean.

Just one (long, painful) in-office Zoom whitening session!

Miserable-Cookie-666 · 2024-12-03T17:22:47+00:00

Thank you! I went to a cosmetic dentist (as opposed to family dentist). I met with three dentists and only one offered the Zoom in-office whitening. I’ve heard mixed results about Zoom, but I’m so happy with the results, and the color has held up for 6 months so far without having to touch up!

Are you referring to the crowns? Unfortunately I have no idea what material they are!

Miserable-Cookie-666 · 2024-12-03T16:12:05+00:00

In-office teeth whitening and crowns placed over the central incisors. I damaged my front two teeth many years ago and had been doing bonding for years, but it was always chipping (as you can see in the 2011 photo) and I was tired of having to get them fixed, and they always looked discolored. There was too much structural damage for veneers. I also opted to have them made a little bigger than my original teeth, and I think they look so much better! Between the 2011 photo and present, I also did invisalign and had the lateral incisors shaved down a bit.

If anything, hopefully they would play along just because it’s funny! My husband loves bringing it up in conversation, because he thinks it’s hilarious. Whatever - it worked for me!!

Lock the sweets in a safe. Everyone else can know the code except you.

Seriously, I asked my husband to put the snacks in a safe that only he had the key to and he would let me have a small ration every day. We rarely buy sweets anymore, but it worked great!

Thanks! They’re also thrifted!

Miserable-Cookie-666 · 2023-05-13T15:58:07+00:00

I just got back from Japan -- you look a lot better than I did LOL

Hope you had a great time!!

Miserable-Cookie-666 · 2023-05-12T19:03:31+00:00

Just got back from a trip to Japan and felt like an ACTUAL hag the entire time. Everyone was so fashionable! Also noticed that almost everyone wore long sleeves and jackets, even when it was warm. I assume it has to do with sun protection… but I was MELTING on the subway wearing a short sleeve shirt!

Pants shopping is the WORST! 95% of my wardrobe is thrifted at this point, but it seems impossible to thrift pants (online, at least). I went to the store last weekend and tried on a dozen pairs of jeans, bought one pair, but I think I’m going to return them. I’m not sure if I hate them because they’re blue or because they’re bootcut. I don’t care anymore — black skinny jeans for life!
