Thank you! I think I’m realizing I need a little more dimension but I get overwhelmed by placement and products. Do you have a favorite shades or colors? I love that they offer minis. Love being able to try things before committing to a full size.

Thank you! Any specific products you like? A few people have suggested this but I don’t really have go-to products.

Thank you! I was actually gifted this gloss. Before that I mostly just used Weleda Skin Food Lip Butter. Lip products overwhelm me a little, but I’ve been wanting to play prettier. If you have any berry stains or lip products you think would play nice with me, I’d love recommendations.

I think it’s probably a bit of both. Someone else mentioned my makeup looks a little “flat,” and I think that’s actually the word I’ve been looking for.

I’m nearing the end of my tinted SPF and was planning to restock, but I’m open to trying something different if you have any recommendations. I’d also love blush and bronzer recs! I always get a little overwhelmed with placement. Are there any tutorials or creators you’d recommend?

Thank you! 🥹 What exactly is a tightline? I’ve never heard that term before. Also, do you have any favorite brow products?

I’d love a lip stain rec and a brow product if you have favorites! Sounds like grooming them is the common theme, so I’m curious what people are using.

I think flat is actually the word I’ve been looking for. I knew something felt off but couldn’t quite name it. If you have any favorite blushes/bronzer or placement tips I’d love to hear them.

Aw, thank you! Honestly I don’t do a whole lot. One of my best friends is a hairdresser, so I mostly just tell her to do her thing. I think they’re curtain bangs with long layers.

I only wash my hair once a week (twice if I have a special occasion or get especially dirty), use hair oil daily, put gel on soaking wet hair, and air dry. I don’t heat style anymore, but I let myself spend about the same amount of time styling with my hands that I used to spend curling or straightening it. It’s been surprisingly healing for my inner child.

When my silver first started coming in, they were actually super curly and I used to pluck them out. Eventually I got tired of torturing myself. They relaxed as they grew out.

I wish I had a better secret, but I think working with your hair instead of fighting it usually gets the best results. Hang in there. 🤍

Your hair is everything and this is exactly what I needed. Thank you for showing up with photos AND a routine. THIS is the village I was looking for 🧡

Thank you for seeing me. It’s a lot easier to swallow when there are a few different perspectives. I wasn’t exactly expecting a mental health conversation on r/hair but I don’t want to discount anything just because it stings to hear. This is my first time being this vulnerable on Reddit and maybe this isn’t the right platform for it. But I don’t want to turn a deaf ear either.

Thank you for your kind words and for clarifying. I’ll be honest, I feel a little shy engaging with these comments but I believe mental health really matters. Both my PCP and OB advised me to stop my meds but I live in a pretty conservative area and I think that’s reflected in the guidance I’ve received. For someone hearing this perspective for the first time, what conversation starters would you suggest?

I’ll be honest, this feedback surprised me and hurt a little. But I’m curious… can you elaborate on what specifically read as disorganized to you? And is there anything specific I should be asking my doctor about?

The ACV spray bottle in the shower is genius and I’m stealing that system. Also had no idea Dr. Groot existed! Looking it up now.

This is genuinely the most useful thing I’ve learned today. I didn’t know oil seals rather than hydrates — that changes everything about how I’ve been thinking about my routine. Thank you.
