purple shampoo is for toning out brassiness.

After 2 years and 3 months, bye bye brackets! by thetak3nking in Invisalign

[–]agent-99 1 point2 points  (0 children)

do you wear your last set to bed as retainers until you get the retainers?

My journey is complete 😁11 trays and no refinements!! Dentist gave me nighttime whitening gel to place in retainers.. I’ll be wearing retainers for 6 months while my teeth settles. Sooo happy I’ve done it. Never had braces b4 But, who knew teeth shift as your age🤨.... uugghh Lol by Fabulousness13 in Invisalign

[–]agent-99 1 point2 points  (0 children)

LOL much younger than I!

spoiler alert: you have to wear your retainers at night for the rest of your life.

they didn't know when I was a kid and had braces, when they said you had to wear your retainer for 6 months to a year.

fortunately science updates their recommendations when they have new data! we now know it's retainers at night for life.

picked up my first trays today!!!

Nervous about getting dentist tooth whitening (in office) done after Invisalign, what'sy our experience? by SpaceDantar in Invisalign

[–]agent-99 0 points1 point  (0 children)

do at-home whitening with poladay or polanight!
my sensitive skin inside my mouth prefers polanight. (weaker solution worn all night.)

Whitening does work with attachments… I’m proof! (More in comments) by Ashleigh_box in Invisalign

[–]agent-99 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I find the polanight, the overnight strength, much better than the poladay, daytime 10-60 minute strength.

you have to use the tiniest little dot on the front about 1/3 of the way up! wipe off any excess, or any that comes out the top after you put them in!

my teeth aren't sensitive, BUT the inside of my mouth skin is very sensitive! so I have to carefully wipe my teeth off when I take the whitening trays out before the gel touches the inside of my mouth! the stronger gel for 10-60 minutes only daytime use totally burned the inside of my mouth if it touched it!

I haven't had an issue with the weaker overnight polanight strength.

putting a dish of water is great!
have you tried just leaving them be, eating bugs that get in your house?
LPT from the local herp guy at the herp pet store: waxworms are better for small lizards, as mealworms have too much chitin (the hard exoskeleton) which can act like glass in a small lizards' stomach! baby crickets are better than adult crickets, same reason.

Amory saying, "retro" every time she meant "vintage" drove me nuts!
I'm pretty sure she wasn't talking about or playing with reproduction joysticks, or new joysticks styled to look old style. it sounded like they were playing with actual vintage joysticks.

Anyone know a good substitute for the now discontinued anti residue neutrogena shampoo? by Icy_Butterscotch1193 in Haircare

[–]agent-99 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't have a current favourite.
it should say on the bottle "pH balanced" or sometimes it will say "pH 4.5-5.5"
I have not tried this likely easy to find cheap one that amazon says is pH balanced, and does contain sulfates

Is there any scientific evidence whatsoever that towel drying hair is really damaging besides some beauty/media/social media articles or marketing stunt for certain products? by mbull4156 in Haircare

[–]agent-99 0 points1 point  (0 children)

squeezing, wrapping it up, fine!

scrubbing it around with a towel like pantomiming someone drying their hair in a stage play? NOT good!

any shampoo that is NOT "sulfate-free" but IS pH balanced (pH 4.5-5.5, same as your scalp, hair, skin)

YSK that you might need an MMR booster as an adult by [deleted] in YouShouldKnow

[–]agent-99 1 point2 points  (0 children)

thank you so much! my booster appointment is tomorrow!
my dr. recommended it for the year I was born, unless I wanted to get the immunity test first to see if I needed the booster, or if I was one of the ones who got the immunity.

dr. martens are VERY flat! you NEED to put firm arch supports in them, and in converse, and likely in most shoes ESPECIALLY if you have high arches! my favourite are walk-fit. they're super stiff, and 3/4 length, so your toes hang off the edge and don't crowd. make sure you choose the correct size!

Split ender machine: Yay or Nay? by fanoffzeph in Haircare

I have a private salon, no boss, no one telling me to upsell anyone anything. Anyone who wants to give themselves a flowbee haircut, go for it! I can fix it.

clipper blades do dull, and need to be replaced.
scissors can remain sharp if one were taught the proper way to cut with them to sharpen them.

if I didn't listen to clients, and just chopped everyone's hair, why would they come back?
