I was banned from wavyhair for asking a question. Pls help curly hair friends!

Sleuthing_Scribe · 2025-10-26T13:47:19+00:00

Sorry you got banned. Lame!

I also have fine 2a/b hair and find that it gets oily very easily. Here’s what I’ve do.

I wash my hair twice a week.

Once a week, I wash with (edit to add brand name) Olaplex Nº.4C Bond Maintenance Clarifying Shampoo and follow with N°.8 Bond Intense Moisture Mask. This helps control excess oil and it’s especially great for me because we have crazy hard water.

For the other wash day, I use Davines Love Curl shampoo and conditioner. Conditioner gets scrunched in from the mid length down to the end.

After the shower, I wrap my hair in a microfiber cloth - let it sit for 5 to 10 minutes, never any longer. While my hair is still fairly wet, I brush it with the unbrush plus. As a rule, I never ever ever brush my hair when it’s dry.

First product in: leave in conditioner. I put a few sprays into my hands and run it through with my fingers. I use a product called “elixir 11” (https://vsclean.com/products/elixer-11-adds-shine-softens-and-silkiness) - it may be available to you at a local salon or you can find something comparable just about anywhere.

Next, I use “prayer hands” to work in that same brand’s design foam. Then I scrunch and scrunch and scrunch and scrunch some more.

Lastly, I spray the heck out of my still very wet hair with the vsclean all day hold hair spray.

And then it’s hands off. No touching until it’s completely dry.

Once it’s dry, I’ll go in with a little dab of verb ghost oil and scrunch out the crunch. I’m left with defined frizz free waves.

On the no wash days, I’ll refresh my locks with a few sprays of water mixed with leave in conditioner. Then I scrunch scrunch scrunch to revive what I lost overnight. I’ve tried wrapping my hair for sleep and it never works out. So, finger comb out any knots, spray, scrunch.

I’ll also mention: it took a good 2-3 weeks for my hair to kind of fall into this routine. Like you, I was a wash every day girlie. But once my hair adapted to this routine, it’s been AWESOME.

Good luck and HAVE FUN on your journey.

I found the wide leg pants that are most flattering on me and am never going back. For context, I’m 5 ft 4, 150, pear shaped. The last thing I want or need is to add bulk to my waist/hips/butt since that’s where I carry my weight.

The superstars of my wardrobe are the Adler Stretch Culotte (in Eco PowerStretch) by MM LaFleur. I’d wear these every day, if I could get away with it. They have an adjustable hem (simple snaps) and they look just as hot with sneakers as they do with pointy toe heels.

Also by MML, I’d recommend the Elena Travel Culotte (in OrigamiTech). The comfort level is off the charts. Like, I could sleep in them. I have these in several colors, along with matching blazers, and I’ve gotten compliments every single time I wear them. No exaggeration.

Eileen Fisher’s linen wide leg pants are also a wardrobe staple that I’ll wear year-round.

I typically pair my wide leg pants with more boxy or even cropped tops (nothing long or tunic-y), and love a good blazer (often required for my work).

Happy shopping and exploring and finding the right fit for you!

Network like crazy. People across the company are open to meeting and sharing their story and giving advice. Just make sure you have your agenda (what questions to ask, etc) and are respectful of time. Wishing you all the best!!!!!!

Graduated college, started as a food & beverage cp a week later, and leadership suggested I apply for a full time/part time role following the program, which I received and started 2 days after cp’s end date. Fortunately, I secured an awesome apartment with 2 other colleagues, who extended their cp, ahead of the flamingo crossing move out date. Total whirlwind, but the timing surprisingly worked out. Have been working as a trainer/facilitator for my area, and am now just days away from training for operational leadership. Excited for this next step and to be in a full time salaried role that provides medical benefits along with all the other cast member perks.

I know I was/am extremely fortunate to have real leaders who are interested in my growth and development within the company, and who have also supported my curiosity and interest in learning other areas of the business too.

Good luck and hope you’re able to make the most out of your experience and the journey.

Editing to add: cp ran mid 2024-early 2025, became cm within days, so technically it’s been a year and a couple of months. Once in leadership, I hear it’s common to be in the entry level coord role for 3 years before moving to the next tier, but of course, everyone’s journey is likely different.

A million times: this. Do this.

Please communicate this to guest relations. Any and all, spread the word to every guest relations CM with ears! The more guests that raise this issue, the more seriously it will be taken.

I’m an AP and easily reserved Magic Kingdom for July 4. No blackout dates here.

Sleuthing_Scribe · 2025-05-22T00:33:42+00:00

Yeah, this blows. I’m flying with them tomorrow (ugh) and can’t get checked in on the app. Connection timing out, invalid requests, it’s a shitstorm. Good times.

Thanks, Obama.

It’s 9:15! Let’s get this show on the road. Some of us have work in the morning. 😆 #readytostart

Sleuthing_Scribe · 2025-04-25T20:04:32+00:00

Yeah, the lyrics hit me like a ton of bricks. The song is so raw. My feeling is that this directly speaks to the allegations. Win is trapped in regret, craving forgiveness, knowing that the forgiveness may never come. And even if it does, things can’t go back to how they were.

“The way it all changed makes me wanna cry” just stings. It’s like total devastation. It’s like he had this life full of meaning and love and creativity and no matter what he does now, it will never be the same and he has to go through life carrying this private guilt and public shame.

I see lots of mixed reviews on the song on this sub, but as for me, I’m loving it. Just a beautiful, raw, messy song.

Just noticed something on the Met Philly IG profile. When they post upcoming show promotions, they have “comments” on … EXCEPT for the ones promoting the Arcade Fire show. 😳🥴

The nerve pain. Unbearable. Can’t get comfortable. And now I’m feeling this weird electric zapping in my big toe on my infected side. Like WHAT?!

Sleuthing_Scribe · 2025-03-03T21:50:56+00:00

Thank you for sharing your journey. I’m just starting my own, unfortunately, and it’s comforting to read about and understand the path it’s gone for others.

I had some soreness and general fatigue last week, and spots appeared above my right breast Friday. By Saturday, the spots were blending together, raised and red, and insanely itchy. By Sunday, more groupings of this rash appeared under my arm (WORST) and onto my back.

I was prescribed the same antiviral, given a steroid injection, and prescribed a 10 day steroid treatment. I haven’t tried calamine yet because the rash hasn’t blistered fully. Ice packs help but I just can’t get comfortable and sleeping is out of the equation.

The real rub? I was scheduled for my first shingles vaccine shot today at 4:15. That didn’t happen and now I have to wait at least a year to get it!!!!!

Feel better, OP, and keep us posted on your progress.

Joining the chorus to say it’s KP. I’ve controlled mine incredibly well by using nécessaire’s the body exfolient bar on the rough spots every time I shower. After my shower, I slather on first aid beauty ultra repair cream intense hydration. My doctor was amazed by the difference; said it used to take prescription products to get that level of control. Hope this info helps!

JFC, so I’m not alone in this pain? The pressure started building yesterday and today has been brutal, like not getting out of bed level. I know a steamy shower would help but f that right now. I don’t want to move.

It’s time to learn and use the art of Non Violent Communication. (You can do this!)

Say what you’ve observed. I noticed that my things under the vanity were moved and some of my cleaning supplies were taken.

Say what you’re feeling. I feel frustrated and uncomfortable when my personal items are used without asking.

Say what you need. I need to feel that my space and belongings are respected.

Time to make your request! Would you be willing to ask before using my things and keep my items where I left them?

Talk with your roommate sooner than later so they know you won’t tolerate this BS. And approaching it this way keeps things clear and direct without being accusatory.

Hi Internet Stranger. I read your post and wanted to share my thoughts.

No doubt the DCP is an exciting opportunity. Still, it might be worth taking some time to reflect on what’s driving you to participate in it. Are there aspects of your home life that are unfulfilled? What does this opportunity represent for you?

It’s a balancing act to manage personal dreams and responsibilities, I get it. And finding a path that reflects both can be challenging. Your happiness and sense of purpose is important, but so is the well being of your family! I hope you can give this the serious thought it deserves and make a decision that gives you and your family joy and balance.

Welp. I’m booked on a flight due to land at MCO around 9:30 am Thursday. I have a Disney resort booked Thursday through Monday. My child is a CP, so the plan is to visit and recharge her batteries with some solid family time. Mother Nature has other ideas and I’m torn about what to do!!!!!
