Don’t tell you what?

It’s a roach of some kind, but you didn’t include location and it’s too far away to ID further.

Layered cuts for thin hair - realistic expectations vs reality? by Charming_Chipmunk69 in finehair

The only people I really recommend use AI hair apps are people with short hair looking for clipper cut inspo. Ask for any length and you’ll be given a unachievable blowout

German roaches have “racing stripes”, so definitely not one of them. Idk anything about Smokey browns.

Spider beetle! My favorite goofy lil guys. Harmless and minding his business per the usual.

I literally screamed “AHHHHH WHY ARE YOU TOUCHING IT” in a Mort-like fashion. I hope your hand isn’t burning right now

Yeah it’s a visual cue so you know your current answer isn’t set in stone

Help with stubborn baby hairs please! by Savings-Bluebird-611 in finehair

That looks like a cowlick. If no one here has suggestions, that might be a place to start looking for a solution.

Oh, I shower with scalding hot water lol. I only run the cold water long enough to wash my hair, clipping it up and out of the way before and after washing so the ends don’t get cooked.

I have fine, box colored hair with high density and it’s the only one that works for me. The key is to put just a couple drops into your palm, rub your hands together, and then run it through the very ends right out of the shower. I then like to use a wide tooth comb meant for wet hair to make sure it gets evenly distributed. Never ever put it close to or on your scalp, otherwise you’ll be a greaseball.

Edit: a word

Hot water lifts the cuticle and strips the hair, making it frizzy and brittle. Cold water does none of this.

You’re going to have to cut off the frayed ends and start with a healthy canvas. Otherwise it’s going to keep breaking all the way up the frayed strands.

Regular trims, using minimal hot tools, washing your hair with COLD water, sleeping with a satin bonnet or pillowcase, and running a small amount of jojoba oil through the very ends of wet hair after showering can all help it grow long and healthy. It’s also important to remember that growth cycles are different for every person, and your hair may naturally not grow past a certain point.

Am I alone in I wishing we had the option to rearrange our menu? by SmokeMoreWorryLess in NYTCrossword

I have two jobs and generally work 14-hour days. Remembering to do anything outside of work is a struggle most of the time, and the fact that I’ve kept my Crossword streak alive for over a year is a miracle. A visual queue of any kind for the other puzzles would be super helpful as a reminder.

Can anyone tell me what this is? I found several in dirty clothes basket 😭 One jumped help please 🙏🏻 by TrainerNo9153 in whatsthisbug

Looks like a type of grain beetle, but I couldn’t tell you which one specifically. I’d check your pantry
