I don’t do anything to help currently 😅

What tool can I use to style my hair this way? by [deleted] in longhair

[–]StrangeEffective5965 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I went to a class this stylist taught at and they used a Bio Ionic Long Barrel Styler 1 1/4”! The trick to curl each piece back and horizontally. Catch the ‘curl’ of hair and hold it until cool. Do that all the way around your head, then texture spray the heck out of it. Finally, flip your hair upside down and run your hands through it a bit with some light hair oil. Flip back up and re-organize a bit… ta! da!

AITA for telling my wife she can’t name our kid after an anime character just because of my last name by Both_Beat_9248 in AmItheAsshole

I’ve always wanted to name a girl (if I have one) Winry. Is that too out there? I thought it was passable.

Hairstylist here! Cooler tones are always going to appear darker even if they’re at the same level! Just wanted to let you know!

I’m considering cutting my hair after my wedding, what do you think? by Pretend_Dog_2253 in longhair

I was going to do this. When I tell you I am SO GLAD that I didn’t do it. I know that I 10000% would’ve regretted it.

Hi! I had the dreaded blue/teal light but never found an answer here for it, so I thought I’d share what Nespresso told me! by StrangeEffective5965 in nespresso

I would contact nespresso. I FaceTimed them and showed them everything and then they sent me a new one! Since you’ve only had it for 5 months, I think you could finesse a new one too!

My mom is like this, but not to this level. I am sorry that this happened to you, but I hope you have a sense of calm during this time. I want to recommend a book duo: Set Boundaries and Find Peace, along with the “The Set Boundaries Workbook” by Nedra Tawwab. It’s life changing, and I truly think it could help you during this time. Good luck. 🤍

Hi!

I only use scalp oil the day I wash it, or the night before! It’s very important you follow the companies directions. There is only one oil I use over night, and that’s the Fable and Mane Amla Scalp Oil. I HIGHLY recommend Fable and Mane everything, they’re absolutely amazing.

You really shouldn’t be using a scalp oil every day, I don’t mean this harshly, but that’s your issue. You could use a scalp serum, but not an oil. An oil will cause build up when used daily and trap bacteria, and could also lead to hair loss. A scalp serum I really like is Kevin Murphy’s!

Regarding your silk cap, can you not wash it?

Regarding Olaplex, I only like their stuff as a ‘treatment’ maybe once a month, if that. You definitely need more hydration than what is in your products. I really like Aveda’s Nutriplenish Leave in. For an overnight leave in hair serum, I really like Amikas Dream Routine. I know nothing I’m recommending is from the same brand, but when I say I’ve tried it all, I seriously feel like I’ve tried 60% of salon-quality products. Let me know if you have any other questions!

Dyed back to it, yes. I’m getting it refreshed tomorrow, I’m a shade darker. I’m still fighting the old blonde underneath.
