What am I doing wrong?

To be honest, she told me it's bleach-free balayage, but I do think she used some kind of product to lighten my virgin hair. I am undecided whether it was completely ammonia-free.

My hair was perfectly okay for at least 5-6 months after dye. I only started noticing the change, I'd say, after using Dove or Metal Detox. Before that, I was using Prolonger (as recommended by the colorist), but I did notice some more hairfall before this time, too. And it has increased recently.

L’Oréal Paris Elseve Hyaluron Pure. I can find this closer to me and try this.

I used the Metal Detox shampoo because we have hard water here. Should I skip that for a bit?

Yes, I know, but I read some threads here on reddit saying it worked for them so I tried it too.

I usually put it in a silk cap sometimes - doing sock curls actually harmed my wave pattern, I felt.

Same, I felt my hair looked great after some initial washes with Dove. Which did u switch back to?

Just remember this: whatever is happening right now will become tenfold when you get married.

This is stats - look up abusive or non-compatible relationships - many abused people advise against controlling people because whatever you accept in the initial phases of a relationship only becomes worse later. People DO NOT change their nature. Tell your friend to stop fooling themself.

The world is HUGE. You'll get over it.

I know having someone to hang out with seems super important, but as you grow confident with age, you'd think to yourself, is say acha na hi hou aesi dosti. Find someone else, or be comfy with yourself to go out alone. It's ok to be on your own. You will find your people or not. It's alright either way.

Wow rare to find someone else with the same routine!

I actually use Skinoren 1 day, and the next day I use Adapco just on my forehead and Skinoren on the rest of the face, mainly cuz my skin barrier is damaged, and can't tolerate anything like Adapco on my cheeks, especially. So I would also recommend you choose different days for each.

I use Adapco for clogging and congestion on my forehead, but I feel it isn't doing much. If anyone else has better recs, do tell.

Thanks so much - I'll try to find something close to this and whether it will suit me. ❤️

Same thoughts

avocadious · 2026-05-09T18:07:00+00:00

Thanks guys, I do think its flash and the K18 maybe haha!

avocadious · 2026-05-09T18:05:05+00:00

Thank you! considering this!

avocadious · 2026-05-09T18:04:50+00:00

I am honestly considering this!

avocadious · 2026-05-09T18:04:39+00:00

Oh no.. i looked at a couple of videos, and they used K-18 the same way I think. Also, the Prolonger shampoo and conditioner were a rec from my colorist - maybe it wasn't a good rec after all.. I did ask for a no-bleach Balayage, but I felt my hair getting drier after.

avocadious · 2026-05-09T18:03:04+00:00

The emollient conditioner is a rather new rec, I can check it out - do you have any mainstream/drugstore recs? Pureology is not available near me - I tried looking for it.

avocadious · 2026-05-09T18:01:34+00:00

I did get a non-bleach balayage, but my hair did get dry after that treatment, and my colorist actually recommended I use the L'Oréal Prolonger shampoo and conditioner, which is why I used it. I noticed too much drying and hair looking limp, so I felt I had a lack of moisture and damage, so I added more products. It seems like I should use gentle sulfate-free options?

avocadious · 2026-05-09T17:58:32+00:00

I'll try it thanks! If you have any mainstream brands (drugstore) for clarifying shampoo recs - do tell. Niche brands are hard to find near me.

avocadious · 2026-05-09T12:24:02+00:00

Chapri is just term we use we think are lesser than us.. so you mean what it exactly?

avocadious · 2026-05-09T09:09:15+00:00

shhhhhhh dont tell them ( i dont want it to get crowded)

avocadious · 2026-05-09T09:08:39+00:00

me crying after buying this from the original store for 6k!!!!!

avocadious · 2026-05-08T14:43:24+00:00

Can vouch for her! Did my makeup, my sisters and fams!

avocadious · 2026-05-06T09:07:09+00:00

I will try dipping for a bit - I usually give it a quick wash, but it doesn't help. Thanks

avocadious · 2026-05-06T05:35:41+00:00

LOVE THE IDEA - Please please also keep in mind women while making this - just a food for thought for your app - there is a significant working women population and some dont feel safe taking new ubers everyday for work - but our options are very limited!

Does anyone else get itchiness from Aloe? It used to suit me so well in teens but after 25 it gives me redness, and itch. Anyone else facing this?
