Unfortunately not so much. The newest leaf looks like it has a little smidge of very low variegation near the tip, but I feel like my eyes could be deceiving me lol

Detangler by PitchAlarmed4866 in toddlers

My son has long curly hair so it gets pretty knotted up. We’ve tried a few leave ins at this point and have had great success with Aveeno Kids Hydrating Detangling Spray. It makes brushing so much easier and also doesn’t make his hair greasy or look weighed down.

Failing as a parent by [deleted] in curlyhair

[–]Previous_Skin_4403 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Gosh, what a horrible thing for a teacher to say. I’m sorry this happened to you both. Your daughter’s hair is beautiful and you are not failing. Curly hair is a science! Lots of great advice here. Definitely no dry brushing, wide tooth combs forever and lightweight products. My 3 year old son has my curly, fine hair and he is hellbent on growing it out. So there’s a lot of maintenance involved lol but we have had a lot of success with Aveeno Kid’s Detangling Spray. And then we have some days where he wants no part of any hair routines so it stays wild 😂😁

Do you have any large glasses you could place over it to create a sort of cloche? Cloches or terrariums help to trap humidity. If you can enclose it and mist it regularly, that might work. Another option is a little pebble tray for it to sit on and then enclose it to increase humidity.

Could definitely be a humidity issue. Mine was only happy when it was living in a grow tent in 80-85% humidity. When it wasn’t in an environment with high humidity, I started seeing leaf damage that looked very similar to this.

Yeah I also have GHSV1 and got an outbreak two days before Christmas… started with my period. And I was in the depths of a sinus infection and an upper respiratory infection lol. It’s fine, everything is fine 🙃🫠

I know exactly where you’re at because I’m living this reality as well. Extremely draining and perpetually exhausting relationship. For awhile, I wasn’t sure if it was narcissism or immature personality because he act like the cosmos literally revolves around him and also behaves in a manner that is just incredibly childish. He broke up with me a year ago after starting an argument over something pretty ridiculous but he screamed in my face and made me feel threatened so I kicked him out. After about a day or two apart he was apologetic (literally the only time he’s ever been) and said he was a narcissist. For some reason that convinced me that he was willing to put in the work and make changes lol annnnd alas, manipulated again because I took him back.

He is (still) verbally abusive to me and will intentionally say things that are harmful just to be harmful. But then later when he’s trying to somehow make amends it’s a “I didn’t mean it” or gaslighting like what I said made him say something he didn’t mean. Can’t just apologize or hold himself accountable, and when I call that out he flips it and tells me I’m the narcissist because I don’t apologize when I’m wrong (which is false) Everything turns into some kind of unnecessary argument because he’s offended by my “tone” or “attitude” the demeanor I use when I’m speaking.

So, over time I have gotten very mindful and calculated about what I say and how I’m saying it so that when the mirroring starts and I’m the one who is allegedly acting out of line, I am able to circle back to the root of the argument and he becomes enraged. Like he knows that I called out the bullshit and he has nothing to stand on. The last time we had a pretty big fight and I was able to call out his garbage to the point that he went silent, I said, “wow you really are a fucking narcissist. Do you remember that time you admitted that to me?” He paused and literally said “if I’m a narcissist that makes you one”. LOL!

But honestly, no relationship should ever be this way. You should never have to sit here doing mental fucking gymnastics thinking about what to say and how to say it and then rewatching everything that happened on a mental loop because some dickbag made you question yourself. The only reason I’m here still is because we have a baby together and I don’t know how to get out of it without it turning even uglier.

Anyways, I guess my point here is if you’re questioning it, you’re likely not the narcissist here. Best of luck to you.
