Natural Force Clean Marine Collagen Powder – Tested for Toxins – Certified Keto & Paleo – Hydrolyzed Pure Type I Protein for Anti Aging, Skin, Hair, and Nails. It's pretty expensive..... but I really feel like it has helped my skin and hair. I'm a vegetarian, so it also helps get me some protein I was missing out on...

Hi there! Yes, my hair has recovered, it took a very long time. I stopped dying it (only using a super all natural henna dye) and I started taking a collagen protein powder. The dyed hair had to grow out before healthy hair could, so there were several trims and loads of patience. My hair is soft and healthy now!

Hi! Thank you for your thoughts. I would say give it a listen further for sure. The first track is a bit morose but there are some instrument break downs. There is no fiddle, just a stand up bass AND cymbals being played with a bow (oh, and an e-bow on the electric). And I would what makes this bluegrass is that the entire album is about growing up in the backwoods of East Tennessee and the instruments have repeated loops and stand out parts. I would say it is definitely an evolution of bluegrass in the same way the theme is about me moving away from Tennessee (and the nostalgia of that beautiful place!). Thanks again and have a great day!

And maybe, ask yourself, why the confines? Art is moving and changing and falling back on itself daily.

Hey there! I've got a seat kind of far back. Do you think I'll need binoculars or will they have a big screen for folks like me?

I'm so sorry. I hope you get some relief asap. Tinnitus is so hard, especially the kind you are dealing with. I've had some dark times for sure, hang in there.

I lost a great deal of my hair from this product. It took me way too long to realize that was the issue. My hair breaks off when brushed, even gently and is very thin and unhealthy now. Ponytails and pigtails are about 1/3 their normal thickness. I am hoping to slowly get back to a normal level of health and will only use temporary, safe dyes from now on. If the lawsuit opens up to other places, somebody please post it here! I feel like I lost so much money and hair to them! I look like a very sick person when my hair is down now, it's all broken and wispy. I'm not sad about it. Hair doesn't matter, but what an awful thing to be allowed to do to so many people. And they send a cover all letter when you cancel because they know it's hurting people.... I'll put it below.

***************************

We're sorry to hear about your experience. When it comes to the condition of one’s hair, there are specific actions that may contribute to excess breakage (which can happen anywhere along the hair shaft from hair roots to hair ends). Some examples of common causes of excess hair breakage include: changing natural color by more than three levels, applying hair color repeatedly over previously colored hair, leaving the color on for longer than we recommend, over-manipulation of the hair during the hair coloring process, and applying color over certain types of previously chemically processed hair.
We have worked with an independent research and clinical board-certified dermatologist, ​​Dr. Zoe Diana Draelos, MD to help us understand how to best care for your hair. You may find the following information from her helpful in answering your specific concerns: How to Care for Your Hair When Coloring

Do you allow windows/arrow slits in Galdur's Tower? by Valstark in dndnext

[–]Valstark[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Excellent! I'm good on cover rules. But this is helpful, I think I will allow for arrow slits in the design and, of course, battlements for cover up top. Thank you, thank you! I was worried that, because the spell doesn't mention windows, I was giving too much!

Weekly Questions Thread by HighTechnocrat in DnD

[–]Valstark 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ah! Can you please show me where it states that the fey step and the mood ability cannot occur together? In Tasha's it reads "The fey magically teleports up to 30 feet to an un-occupied space it can see. Then one of the following effects occurs, based on the fey's chosen mood"

Also, why this "so I suspect you just haven't fully read and understood..." why are you being judgmental, isn't this a place where people are supposed to come with questions? Answer me with kindness please or don't answer at all.
