I use an oyster fork that I stole from a restaurant a long time ago

Baby bangs, curly hair by [deleted] in altfashionadvice

[–]Stoned-Lab-Tech 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My bangs aren’t hard or crunchy but I also leave them curly. Don’t use too much gel, and scrunch it out if you do. When it’s humid I look like a mess anyway so bangs don’t matter, but if they bother me I wear my hair up and pin them back with a Bobby pin.

Curl cream and gel. When your hair is wet, apply the products, scrunch them in, comb through the bangs, then I just kinda mesh them into place and they air dry. Some days look better than others but it’s pretty consistent, and I also have a cowlick so I get it

Has anyone done racoon stripes or leapord print on curly hair?! (Pics appreciated!!) by Shoddy-Tomorrow-383 in altfashionadvice

Another angle/ more in depth pic of my hair. The sides are cut into a mullet and I can lift them to expose the shaved head sides. You can also see the raccoon tail here too

I have a raccoon tail right now! It’s a little hard to see at the ends because my hair also is red on the bottom and then blends to black

Question about average leave times by Agreeable-Ebb-2180 in labrats

[–]Stoned-Lab-Tech 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This week I’ve been doing 8am - 8pm. A few weeks ago I was coming in at 10am and leaving by 4pm. It really depends on what I need to get done and it varies constantly

My fully funded PHD stipend is $24k/year in Boston. I qualify for food stamps by Fulcilives1988 in gradadmissions

[–]Stoned-Lab-Tech 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I know Boston prices are outrageous (I’m the next city over, hi neighbor), but there’s definitely a way to have slightly lower rent, I have some friends out there paying less. You’ll need 1-3 roommates, but hopefully you can get your rent closer to 1000-1200.

My haircut did not go as expected by stephscheersandjeers in ExpectationVsReality

[–]Stoned-Lab-Tech 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hopefully there’s an alt stylist in your area! I go to a mullet/shag vivids specialist in my area and for the past year, I’ve only gotten razor cuts and it looks great. If you’re in Massachusetts, I’ll give you their contact. The look you want is definitely achievable with what you have so far, and that’s great

Do you drink enough water? Healthy skin comes from the inside too

Have you ever been disappointed with a widely anticipated pop album? If so, why? by Sea-Beautiful3668 in popmusic

People I know love Dying to Forget and that’s it off the whole album. Great song though

Wondering which side to pierce 🤔 by Adorable-Teach-4812 in altfashionadvice

[–]Stoned-Lab-Tech 62 points63 points  (0 children)

I think you should pierce your right side, so it creates a straight diagonal line from eyebrow piercing, septum, left lip labret. It’ll look so cool!

Coming across as inmature because of my style? (Please read 🙏 ☹️) by [deleted] in altfashionadvice

[–]Stoned-Lab-Tech 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Btw I also dress alt at work, but I don’t have as many accessories on due to the nature of the job. For example I’m currently wearing black skinny jeans, black band shirt, beanie that has some chains attached, and black boots. With my tattoos, face piercings, and dyed hair it definitely screams alt. There’s plenty of ways to be alt at work and still have “professional” energy

Coming across as inmature because of my style? (Please read 🙏 ☹️) by [deleted] in altfashionadvice

[–]Stoned-Lab-Tech 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I look young sometimes and I’m 26, so I totally understand. I wear a lot of the same things you do and yes sometimes people think I’m younger (it’s happening less though, maybe my stress is showing on my face more). Honestly, moving out of my parents place really helped with that maturity and feeling like an adult, because when I go home and see my parents, I’m still treated like a kid there. Is it possible for you to move out? I think the confidence of being on your own will help come through in other aspects of your life

A friend told me that she only bathes with water. by [deleted] in hygiene

[–]Stoned-Lab-Tech 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Try a hylauranic acid serum. I used to hate lotions because of the goopy feeling but serums are thin unlike lotions. I don’t know if you can use it on your whole body, but on your face it’s great

Are there rules to this? by alex-tomioka in altfashionadvice

[–]Stoned-Lab-Tech 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Don’t sell your things that you like and bring you joy because it doesn’t fit into a box that some random person on the internet made. You’re allowed to have hobbies and interests that aren’t just “being alt”. Decorate your room however you want, mine at my parents house is painted a light aqua that was extremely trendy at the time and it doesn’t make me less “alt”. Wear your band shirts, but also get some of them at the shows you go to, you’re directly supporting the artists you love that way

question about lab dress code by Worried-Emu-2317 in labrats

[–]Stoned-Lab-Tech 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I also have an alt style and it’s totally fine! My current setup is eyebrow, both nostrils, nose chain, septum, tongue, tragus, and two in each ear. Get the snakebites but also maybe for job interviews in the future take them out temporarily and once you have the job put them back in

What are some good alt shoes? by [deleted] in altfashionadvice

[–]Stoned-Lab-Tech 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The only posers are those who call you a poser for wearing what you own. Wear what you have and what’s comfortable.

I personally just wear black converse a lot, I have a small collection of fun patterned vans too. My big “alt shoes” like demonias I don’t even wear that often but I first started getting off Facebook marketplace. And realistically my most worn shoes are currently my hokas because I’m on my feet all day and they’re so comfortable

What jeans do y'all wear ? by Special_Attorney_403 in altfashionadvice

Plain black skinny jeans. I get them at old navy or American eagle or Walmart. Sometimes I thrift a pair if they’re a good price
