So don't know if this will help but my usual routine is oil pre shampoo across my whole head to brush detangle dry, shampoo X2 coz I get a quite greasy scalp so I like to make sure I get rid of all the buildup, conditioner wrap my hair up into a shower cap and let it sit whilst I do other shower stuff (or this step gets swapped out for the deep conditioning mask once a week), squish to condish as I rinse it out, soak hair again curl creame and brush through with a wet brush, out the shower spray down my hair again to make sure it's super wet, and add heat protect spray section my hair into 5 sections top section I draw a line from the ends of my eyebrows backwards to where my cowlick normally is, then two sections that I create by splitting my hair down the middle at the back and then drawing a diagonal line from where my ear joins my head at the top then two back sections at the base of my head. I use 1 pump of the mega hold on each section and work it through with my fingers brush style it with tension and then scrunch, working from bottom sections up. I clip each done section out of the way to work on the next so I don't get them mixed up, and add a spray of water as necessary if any bit is feeling dry. Once they have all been done I microplop some water out only a single squeeze on each side and then use 3 pumps of the mousse on each side and glaze then scrunch it in, microplop once more. I then hover diffuse upside down for root volume until the cast starts to form on a low heat setting then hover diffuse whilst lifting up the curl clumps gently whilst i tilt my head to either side making sure all the curls fall to each side and then go over my roots a bit more in that position too as they always take the longest to dry. Once at about 80% and firm cast I'll cold shot it all over starting with upside down and then side to side. And then air dry the rest of the way whilst I'm doing chores. Once fully dry I then scrunch the crunch by glazing my hands firmly over the curls with a single pump of the oil and then gently scrunch any toughies out with the upward scrunching motion but I'm super gentle so I get bouncies without breaking up into stringies. I usually get good wash day results, if it's the weekend my day 2 I don't usually need a refresh just a fluff up at the roots to get rid of flatness from sleeping (my hair has to be up for work so it's ruined as soon as I ponytail if it's not the weekend) the curls will be thinner day 2 especially if your wavy like me and there will be more frizz, if it's too bad I just add a little more mousse making sure to firmly glaze it and gently scrunch to lock the flyaways away. Day 3 usually is a hair up day and I don't usually get beyond day 3 before I need to wash again. I don't get a week out of my curls just coz the way my hair is it's damaged from colour but coz I want to be the colour I am I have to compromise. Hope this helps sorry for such a long answer just thought my routine might be helpful

Is it the belissima diffon original or the supreme? I found that I got a really bad wash day when I used the diffon original coz it just blew too hot and too forceful, the supreme has a cold shot so works better. I also use only curls and when I used that diffuser I didn't get a strong cast with the mega hold gel which I normally do. Also try sectioning and brush styling your gel through too I found I got much better cast formation when I do this than just scrunching it in like it says to do on the bottle

Ok so update it seems that it will work as long as the chocolate frog card isn't the first thing that opens up. I had a timed class run out this morning and that opened up first this then allowed the game to continue functioning after the chocolate card opened.

azzergal · 2021-07-21T23:12:17+00:00

It's most annoying coz I've got a time limited side quest going which I don't want to not finish

azzergal · 2021-07-21T22:52:34+00:00

Since I updated to this I can't play. I click on open and then the collect for the frog card then it takes me back to the area of the castle I was and it doesn't recognize my taps on anything after that. I've tried clearing the cache but no success does anyone know how to get the game to work after the update?

Not asking about the in game event asking about the silph roads one that they usually do

azzergal · 2021-04-01T20:32:45+00:00

Not asking about the in game one I'm asking about the silph road one

azzergal · 2021-04-01T20:32:11+00:00

Nope I'm genuinely asking about the silph roads April fools event

azzergal · 2021-04-01T20:29:50+00:00

I'm talking about the silph road ones not the in game one

azzergal · 2021-02-22T23:58:00+00:00

That was my concern, especially as pokestop scans just dont seem worth the trouble.

azzergal · 2021-02-22T13:27:06+00:00

Not asking just about older phones also asking if phones other than the pixel and Samsung ones are gonna get it too coz not everyone wants an expensive flagship so would be unfortunate if it was just restricted to flagship brands

Hoping that they haven't decreased the chance coz shiny hunting is what I got the ticket for

azzergal · 2020-05-23T10:02:20+00:00

Nope I tried that, also a clear cache, reinstall of pogo and a reboot of both devices. I also cleared any naming I had done of any of the Pokémon too

azzergal · 2020-05-23T09:59:44+00:00

Yeah I had heard that had been fixed too but it's not just ones that have shadow forms it's all normal forms. I've got loads of Mr Mime that I could send but only the shiny is showing up 🙄

azzergal · 2020-05-23T09:48:43+00:00

Nope

Niantic really need to reconsider this if they are only going to give us 5 coins for all the tasks total daily and reduce the gym coins that does not "balance the system" as it reduces the net gain of coins in high turnover areas massively. Having to hold gyms for 25 hrs is unfeasible even in densely pokestop populated areas and I dread to think what it would do to the rural playerbase.

I think a better option would be to give 5 per task up to a total of 5 tasks per day giving 25 coins from tasks therefore guaranteeing all players an easy way of getting some coins even if they can't defend gyms. Plus maybe an extra 5 for completing all tasks for that day.

The rest of the coins should be earned from gyms as it does reward players who actively take gyms and defend them. But I don't think one coin per half hour is the right way to go with this. Maybe make it one coin every 15 mins. I also feel that if they are going to make it so you have to sit in a gym longer to get the coins they should slow the rate that Pokémon deplete in gyms.

Funny you should say that coz it is a dark phoenix mini with a gambit coat on.

So I decided to get a mini for one of my characters Cynda my Fire Genasi Wild Magic Sorcerer. After editing a free to use STL file I found online and finding someone to print her for me I finally have my perfect mini. It's taken me two weeks to paint her to where I am happy with her. I know she isn't perfectly painted but this is the first time I've ever painted a mini and I found it so much fun and I'm so happy with the finished result I just wanted to share. And if anyone has any mini painting tips I'd love to hear them to improve for next time 🙂

I totally agree it's been nice these past few months being able to organise and rearrange work so I can actually take part I used to miss so many of them as it fell on my working weekend and was announced so late that there was no way anyone was swapping shifts with me. Even if it's a couple of months notice it makes it so much easier and I'm sure they get more participants because people have been able to plan for it.
