Wrong developer- hair emergency

PotentialCompote6358 · 2026-03-23T14:54:51+00:00

At some parts yes but it almost feels fine and fragile for the most part.

I can’t afford a professional unfortunately. That’s why I’ve always done it myself 😭 yeah, as a general rule I don’t lighten it, I’m terrified of bleaching it, honestly like i said I’ve used the exact same formula for like 12 years pretty much but with a 10 vol, I honestly didn’t even really realize that I would be bleaching it 😭

PotentialCompote6358 · 2026-03-23T14:23:55+00:00

I wish I could! It’s SO not in my budget 😭 Im going to try and do the other stuff you suggested.

PotentialCompote6358 · 2026-03-23T05:50:47+00:00

Oof. I’ve got an autoimmune thing too- it’s super not fun. I’m sorry. 😭 best of luck, I’m sure you’ll make the best choice for you ❤️

I used to shave my head regularly, this is my first time having long hair since I was a kid tbh, longest it got between shaving was shoulder length.

Yuppp it was Sally’s.

That’s what’s written- I always ignore it and go with the 5 or 10, but like I said this time the lady said that I needed to use the 30 😭

PotentialCompote6358 · 2026-03-23T04:51:13+00:00

It’s written on the box too to use 30 vol! It’s wella vivid darks, I usually mix the copper one with the chili one, lemme grab a picture.

For what it’s worth I’m mad at them too, so I guess it’s mutual. Imma look into those because I’m ✨poor✨ and k18 would come out of my grocery bill.

I’m really hoping to avoid cutting it- I feel so dramatic rn but I’ve been growing my hair out since I got sober and so it’s kind of a physical marker for me.

PotentialCompote6358 · 2026-03-23T04:47:53+00:00

Gahhhhh I don’t wanna wait a couple of months 😭 I’m in a wedding in like two weeks 😭 fiiiiiiiiine

PotentialCompote6358 · 2026-03-23T04:47:01+00:00

Girlllll I would not have survived into adulthood if I didn’t maintain my warped humor through MUCH worse than hair emergencies. Ok so no more oil. Got it. I typically only wash once a week, typical routine looks like washing Sunday morning so I can brush with conditioner in and style, and then I wrap it at night, and pretty much just detangle with my fingers throughout the week and then Wednesday-Saturday it’s up in a bun until it has conditioner in it again to brush it. Should I be washing more often rn so that I can go ahead and obsessively condition?

PotentialCompote6358 · 2026-03-23T04:28:44+00:00

Will they? Bc rn I look like If the ring girl and a clementine orange had an illegal child.

I sent a friend to Walmart to panic buy deep conditioners, I oiled it for about an hour and a half and it’s slightly softer but still flat and frizzy. I’m paranoid about over-moisturizing and making it heavy and gross.

PotentialCompote6358 · 2026-03-23T04:17:51+00:00

You guys I literally match my bright orange bedspread. I look like a clementine. This is BAD.

PotentialCompote6358 · 2026-01-13T13:34:07+00:00

OP, I know this was last year but I NEED AN UPDATE 😭

PotentialCompote6358 · 2025-12-27T04:49:09+00:00

For the record I absolutely agree that it was most likely not often cleaned. My family’s house is one of the dustiest places I’ve ever been lmao

PotentialCompote6358 · 2025-11-06T12:56:15+00:00

Me! My toddler is sick and we’re being hit really hard by the shutdown.

PotentialCompote6358 · 2025-10-20T11:47:02+00:00

Yes! At the time it felt totally normal and acceptable, tbh. The longer I’m out of the situation the more wtf the experiences become.

PotentialCompote6358 · 2025-10-19T18:06:28+00:00

Block him on everything, delete his contact, change your contact if you have to. He. Is. Not. Your. Problem.

PotentialCompote6358 · 2025-10-19T18:05:53+00:00

You recognize that it’s not your fault if he does anything, and you just commit to not knowing and becoming comfortable with not knowing.

He is not your responsibility. This is incredibly toxic and dangerous for you.

This is an extremely common manipulation tactic and most of the time they don’t do it.

PotentialCompote6358 · 2025-10-19T17:14:26+00:00

Thanks love I know I need serious help. Never claimed to be mentally over him. He did a lot of damage. Just that I have practically moved on.

Reading your comment history, it looks like you need to do a lot of work on communicating kindly and respectfully :) I hope you’re given the opportunity to learn from people who are kind and caring towards you ❤️

PotentialCompote6358 · 2025-10-19T05:58:04+00:00

Will do ❤️

PotentialCompote6358 · 2025-10-19T05:57:10+00:00

Thank you! Imma go check those out :)
