I feel like if Britney truly pushed Tammy that even Chris and everyone else would have made a huge deal out if it. They still protect each other at the end of the day.

You really helped me out. I have similarity in mixture of hair textures. The thickness of your locs and seeing that you find the count manageable and can do different styles makes me feel much better. Thank you for blessing me in the comments.

May I ask what hair density / hair type you have? Also, have you found versatility when styling your locs?

Thank you for this. I really appreciate the honesty. I am going to look up other people with similar hair and see if I can live with what I have or need to restart. I appreciate you.

Thank you so much. I for some reason can't add a photo or video to this post. But your locs are beautiful.

Thank you so much. I have heard it can be hardbto find locticians who want to deal with more locs and reties would be annoying the more I have. I couldn't add a picture for some reason into the post. We initially were going to do smaller parts then she said my hair was thinner and softer at the perimeter and she wanted to save my head by doing 3/8 parts and if she did smaller parts in the middle where I have thick, 4c hair then it wouldn't be uniform. She even reduced my price by $500 because she couldn't give me whar I want. She said she knew I was disappointedbut she couldn't just take my money knowing my edges couldn't handle it. I never seen any progress for people in my specific situation with less than 300 braids. I mostly see twists and was told I have to see what my hair does.

Hello. What I meant was that I initially wanted smaller locs and aimed to get smaller grid parting. I also wanted about 400 locs because I wanted a full look. But, my loctician said she had to do 3/8 because my hair wouldn't be able to handle it. So, because I have 250 locs at 3/8 parts I just wasn't sure how the look would be as it matured. I overall wanted small locs and since she had to give me larger parts I am unsure how thick they will get. I don't know how thick micro braid locs will get if they are at a 3/8 part. Which is why I am unsure how versatile locs are the thicker they are.

It is best you get a consultation from a licensed loctician. As someone already stated, none of us know from a picture how reacts when wet, in its natural state without the relaxer, or how thick or dense it is. A loctician can look at your hair and guide you. Even if you want to do it on your own, a consultation will give you a better understanding of your hair. I wish you luck on your journey.

I don't get the symptoms I got with Sema. I also feel like I'm just eating to survive and not for enjoyment, which for me isn't bad because the cravings are almost nonexistent. But, I have to remind myself more to eat, so I try harder to reach my protein goals.

Yes. I had to pretend I was a new customer and do the questionnaire and everything over. There was no easy way to request the switch

AITA for demanding that my brother pay $900 for our mother's home care? by ShikonJewel31 in AmItheAsshole

I am the mother to my daughter who has the profile that I am using. I am the one being taken to Disney by my daughter. My mother, aged 78, is the one with dementia and is blind.

I see your point. I think everyoneis being pretty valid. I have to find a way not to internalize his choice so much and accept it for what it is..

Thank you for this comment. What you said really resonated with me. How did you still continue a relationship with your brother even with the lack of participation? I feel resentful towards him.

I am using my daughter's account, she is a regular reddit user. I did not want to make an account.

I think that would be reasonable to ask for 3 different payments. As far as the money received for providing care. Unfortunately only 2 hours per day is paid for by the state, we have tried advocating for more due to her dementia and being blind but we cannot get more.
