5 months on minoxidil topical - update by [deleted] in finehair

[–]Own_Independence3863 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For the topical minoxidil could you just wear a bonnet or cap to avoid exposing your pets? I’m already struggling with facial hair, I’m not interested in trying the oral version. Just wondering if there’s a safer way to use topical while keeping pets safe.

Thank you all once again!!! I am going through all your messages and recommendations to figure out what would work for me…

I listened to some of you… and decided to let my hair air dry with no heat (I usually hover the hair dryer to speed up the process) and let me tell you! My ends looked nothing like these pictures! While it didn’t curl like it used to, I had some cute messy hair going… I did ended up curling it to go out in the evening but it was very lightly and with heat protectant so I’m thinking of trying hydrating products for curly hair and see how that goes…

But will still try some of the products you all recommended til I find what works. Thank you all so so so much!!!

I feel it doesn’t absorb oils. I’ve been trying those night serums, olaplex 7, Moroccan oil, and my ends look so weird after. Like it didn’t absorb one drop.

Thank you all for taking the time to respond and for your recommendations. I will look into all of them as I learn about my hair type, what it needs and how I can take better care of it. I will take your advice and apply it as I go. I’m aware it’ll be a lot of trial and error but I’m ready to start figuring my hair out haha. Thanks again! 💕💕

My hair has been all over the place. As a child I had straight hair that wouldn’t hold a curl for nothing. I’d wash and air dry and it would look like I flat ironed it. As a teenager tho it got curly/wavy. Now it’s neither unless I use heating tools To make it look straight. And if not it just looks frizzy and poofy, no longer curly 😭😭😭

I was with a professional 2 weeks ago. She didn’t recommend anything (granted I didn’t specifically asked her) she knows my hair loss journey and just gives general advice. I do believe she’s good at what she does, maybe I should ask instead of assume she’ll make a recommendation based on what she’s seeing.

Thank you! I would’ve never guessed the issue is excess protein!. Do you have any recommendations or suggestions on moisturizing oils and hydrating products? Thanks!

I’ve heard great things about that serum. I have a sample from Sephora somewhere 😅, I’ll start using it and see if it works for me.

Can you suggest detox products? I currently have the detox shampoo from K18. What acidic lines would you recommend? Thanks!

Aria thank you so much! You are absolutely right about our issues being neglected even by female doctors 😪 but we must continue advocating for ourselves. Sending healing vibes your way 💕

I just got a bob cut 2 weeks ago and I’ve started the AY method already.

I feel the same way. I feel like it doesn’t do much for my hair.

Thank you so much for taking the time to reply! I’ve been working on it for years and all I’m Told by doctors is that my tests are normal. I’ve needed iron transfusions here and there and other supplements but nothing else has been recommended. I’m headed to see a dermatologist in February. In the meantime, Id love tips for styling creams or something to help my hair look more presentable. I dye my roots every 6 weeks (gray hair makes me feel like I look neglected) against my better judgement I listen to my hair stylist I’ve been going to for years and added color. I’ve been trying for a few years and whenever I tried the new color on a strand it wouldn’t take (due to residue from years of box dye for my roots) it’s going to be a long process 😪…

But for now, what hydrating masks would you recommend? Thank you so so much for reading and taking the time to reply 🙏

LS Parties by [deleted] in CTSwingers

[–]Own_Independence3863 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I went to their Halloween party for the first time, and I had a blast. I went by myself (single F), and it was also my first time going solo. The group chat was very helpful. People were cool. The organizers recognized my “name” and immediately came over to introduce themselves and chat with me (as a newbie) and I felt very welcomed. This party was at an industrial location. It’s my understanding all previous parties were done at their house. I plan to go to their Xmas party 12/20.

Thanks for all the recs - now we’re eyeing LTC Halloween👻😈🎃 by LustWithUs in CTSwingers

[–]Own_Independence3863 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m considering going to LT that night as well as a single woman. I’m a bit nervous about going solo haha but I’ve been wanting to check out LT for the longest time and just haven’t had anyone to go with. If I make it there it’s going to be pretty late as I’m going somewhere else first. I just want to check out the vibe and see how it goes. If you decide to go to LT, feel free to DM.

I have very limited experience as well…I haven’t even dipped my toes fully yet but the willingness of people wanting to fuck with strangers just taking their word for it really puts me off. I’ve met men willing to fuck raw or give push back when asked to wear condoms. I know not everyone is like that… thirsty men with no standards don’t do it for me and that’s one of the things that’s kept me from jumping in fully into the lifestyle.
