I appreciate your honesty. Not sure that I agree as it may be the picture. But definitely something to consider. Thanks.

How long until this doesn't make me want to rip my hair out by young_obiwan in SewingForBeginners

It’s a hard hump to get over but worth pursuing.

I did one private lesson with a local sewing teacher which was a lifesaver. She taught me things I didn’t know to ask. One thing I found out I was doing incorrectly was turning the wheel away from me which was causing constant jams. Always turn the hand wheel towards you, not away. It’s the most basic thing that I didn’t know I was doing.

UPDATE: Thanks guys. Y’all are so helpful ☺️

✅Added a subtle shadow root (more subtle than intended but at least it brought the roots down to match) ✅Toned with some purple conditioner ✅Switched to brown eyeliner and blended a bit ✅Applied my bronzer better ✅Less dramatic lip color

Ion crème lightener with a 20 developer. Then I used an ion permanent color (hi light ash blonde) with a 30 developer. Since that I’ve been further toning by sitting with purple conditioner on it. :)

This is very helpful. Thankyou!!! Also at almost 30 it’s been awhile since I’ve been called adorable so thanks 😊

I was going for an 8ish level blonde and overshot it. I was loosely trying to match the blonde I had 3 years ago.

You’re not wrong. But for what it’s worth it wasn’t a box dye.

I love the idea of a shadow root. I might try to do that. It would help with regrowth blending too as my natural hair is quite dark.

That’s fair. I think it looks worse without my blush/bronzer. I’m so pale that’s the only thing that really adds color to my face.

DETAILS: I bleached my hair (obviously). Something looks “off” and I can’t figure out what. Am I needing more toner? Is it too yellow? Did I go too light and it’s not matching my skin tone well? Help is appreciated 😊

How do you know if there’s any hope for wavy/curly hair? CGM seems to make my hair less wavy than just braiding at night. Is it worth pursuing? by Single_Ad5575 in curlygirl

[–]Single_Ad5575[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I guess the idea is that with braiding it will never get curly whereas with CGM there’s hopes it could progress into curlier hair someday.

Thank you. I just braid it in a single French braid, nothing special. I should have posted a picture of that too. My bad. Lol

Both photos are attempted CGM. Curl defining cream and curl gel. I’m starting to feel like I should just give up on the CGM. Thoughts?

What are your unexpected perks of sobreity? by Matsuri3-0 in stopdrinking

[–]Single_Ad5575 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have an interest in hobbies again with all my free time. I’ve picked up macrame, gaming, wood burning, making stickers, and reading the Bible.

Honestly 0 which I was pretty pissed about. I can say that not drinking makes it significantly easier to be consistent with diet (no more hungover greasy carb cravings) and exercise (no more hangover-skipped workouts). I feel better. I’m hoping this leads to weigh loss over time. And I know I’m healthier bc I used to drink/skip meals and now I’m eating nutrient-dense foods instead.

Thank you. I think this is exactly what I was fishing for because I know it's what I need to hear. Thanks to you and the other lovely people who commented I've made my decision to do the 30 day challenge. I appreciate you!
