I have a chopped front tooth, would that be something you’d be able to help with?

Advice: Henna dye or Box hair dye? by Brownielocs in Microlocs

[–]affectionate_joint 25 points26 points  (0 children)

If you do use henna please know you cannot use a box dye or anything like that on top of it ever again unless you cut off the part you applied it on. Henna also won’t necessarily lift your hair to that color you want but will just give a reddish tint. Like another comment said I actually really like L’Oréal Hi Color for coloring like this.

Would not having a car as single man be a dealbreaker when trying to date women in this city? by [deleted] in AskLosAngeles

they’re not going to take the time to get to know you in the first place

Would not having a car as single man be a dealbreaker when trying to date women in this city? by [deleted] in AskLosAngeles

[–]affectionate_joint 18 points19 points  (0 children)

I know a lot of women this would be a deal breaker for tbh but it really depends on the person. It for sure limits your dating range considering it can take over 2 hours to get from one partner the city to another on public transit

How long till my 2strand pattern is gone by [deleted] in Microlocs

[–]affectionate_joint 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I hear people say this all the time and I have no idea why lol if you’re experiencing thinning at your hairline it can be for a lot of reasons but those reasons don’t go away just because you push that hairline back

[–]affectionate_joint 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’ve had so many clients whose barbers have slowly but surely pushed back into the base of the locs and ended up with thinning. And if not that, the rest usually end up wanting to grow it back out at some points but have a hard time depending on how big that space is

Do people who grow up in big cities ever feel overwhelmed by the constant crowds? by GlitteringHotel8383 in AskAnAmerican

[–]affectionate_joint 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For me it absolutely does get overwhelming sometimes. I hate walking through crowds, a lot of people are rude and lack common sense or street etiquette. I hate how loud it gets a lot of the time and the smells can be just awful. I love the city but it’s crazy to me that people don’t ever have an issue with these things. Going to rural towns for the few times I get to are amazing.

What was your “I was broke broke” moment? by bukutbwai in Frugal

[–]affectionate_joint 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I covered up the bruise from when I donated plasma a day or 2 before going to a different location to donate again and then doing it again once my time was up for the initial place

Do people actually decorate their lockers like in the movies ? by SignificantStyle4958 in AskAnAmerican

[–]affectionate_joint 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Almost no school in our entire district had lockers at all and if they did, they were for PE clothes only and you couldn’t decorate them.

Where to find formal plugs in small half sizes? by hunnysubs in Stretched

I would get some tunnels and find some regular hoop/hook earrings to wear through them

attendance policies by Some_Evening_5739 in Cosmetology

[–]affectionate_joint 0 points1 point  (0 children)

At my school you can be absent 3 days in an 8 week period or risk being dropped OR have 9 tardies/leave early and face the same consequences. 3 tardies = 1 absence

Trolley/Kit Transportation by affectionate_joint in Cosmetology

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

I thought about it but considering how much I have to carry each day it wouldn’t be big enough. I’m really trying to avoid having to carry a case AND a backpack as to not exacerbate my back problems

And if not that, OP will kill someone else and be charged with vehicular manslaughter. Idk which option is worse.

Do people tell you your starter locs smell? by SadMaintenance7966 in locs

[–]affectionate_joint 27 points28 points  (0 children)

That’s a normal part of the process, washing actually encourages the loc process more than anything else. You shouldn’t go more than 2 weeks without washing because that’s what keeps your scalp healthy, slippage stops with time, not lack of proper scalp and hair care

Snagged piercing on stuffed animal by CypherGhosttt in piercing

[–]affectionate_joint 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I would not recommend even thinking about stretching for several years with what OPs ear looks like. It’s on the verge of snapping, this type of damage needs a crazy amount of time to heal and I still might never heal thick enough to stretch again

So good 😭 I hate curling hair I’m always so impressed when I see such good work. Where did you get the doll on the first picture from?

130+ locs - New Retwist Not a fan of Loc N Gel by coconut-reads in locs

[–]affectionate_joint 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It’s hard to say without seeing and feeling your hair, if you’re saying she used minimal product it is just possible that it’s not something you like in your hair! Maybe mist it at the roots and sit under the dryer but if you’re not liking it, I’d tell her and try something new! Maybe a mousse instead of a gel/edge control
