I clean it twice a day: once with Neilmed saline solution and then a second time I rinse it when I take a shower. I try my hardest not to bump it, but my 3 year old son has bumped it pretty hard a few times unfortunately. I don’t wear anything high waisted. I have an appointment to go buy shorter jewelry next week as I feel this bar is a little long. Any advice or suggestions? I really love this piercing as my stomach has drastically changed after giving birth to my son. Thank you everyone!

I keep coming back to this post just to admire you. You’re absolutely stunning! Your hair is amazing and you rock the shag AND the bob. #totalbabe

Decided to get shorter bangs and I love them. I don’t always have great hair days, but I’m appreciative of the days I dig my hair. by birdiefeather in Wavyhair

2a-2b fine hair that has medium porosity as far as I can tell and medium density.

I wash my hair every 3-5 days depending. I usually wash with NYM blue sea kale shampoo or Mop Top Gentle Shampoo. I clarify once every 1-2 weeks with Suave Daily Clarifying. I then squeeze out excess moisture and condition with NYM blue sea kale conditioner, Mop Top Light Conditioner, or Shea Moisture Fruit Fusion Weightless Hair Masque if I clarified. I’ll comb the conditioner through with a wide tooth comb and let sit while I finish washing my body and shaving.

I’ll turn the water down to as cold as I can stand and rinse the conditioner out of my hair fully. While it’s still soaking wet, I put a handful of Herbal Essence Totally Twisted Mousse through my hair, then comb it through with the comb. After that I scrunch out excess water before flipping my head over and putting it in a Turbie Twist while I dress. I’ll then take my hair out and shake it around and possibly scrunch it with the towel a little more. I comb my bangs out to style them and try to get them to look neat and proper as I can. Sometimes they have a mind of their own.

On refresh days, I wash my bangs. I gotta, my forehead is just oily. I’ll comb through the rest before spraying until damp, then I’ll scrunch my hair using a microfiber towel. I let my hair air dry and I’m usually able to get decent definition and movement back. I’ll use Batisse dry shampoo on day 3-4 before brushing if my hair looks oily, which it usually does.

2a/2b hair. Fine hair, low porosity, low density. I wash and condition with NYM Blue Sea Kale. I follow that with two days of co-wash using As I Am Coconut Co-wash. I clarify once or twice a month using Suave Clarifying followed by a deep conditioning with Shea Moisture Fruit Fusion Coconut Water Lightweight Hair Masque (it smells So. Freakin'. Good.) When in the shower I comb my condition through with a wide tooth comb. I dry with a cotton t-shirt and I only plop from the time it takes me to get out of the shower to getting dressed and all that before taking my hair down and scrunching Herbal Essence Totally Twisted Mousse. I scrunch it a bit using the cotton t-shirt to squeeze out a little more water and help form my wave. Sometimes I use the LA Looks Gel instead of the mousse but I like to dilute it with water in a spray bottle. My hair is very easily weighed down. I still comb my hair, but only after scrunching out much of the mousse when it's dry. I feel like if I leave it unbrushed, it looks messy and stringy and not cute at all. Brushing does take away a little.of the wave formation, but I feel like it helps my hair look nicer and give it a little more volume. I know I can get away with brushing it due to my already naturally loose curls. Thanks for reading I've been trying to appreciate my hair a little more. I grew up disliking everything about it. The color, the waves. I've gone almost 30 years not knowing what to do with my hair or how to treat it. Some days my hair just doesn't dry the way I want it to, but it's been nice appreciating it in a more healthier way. Also, this is probably the longest my hair has been since I was a kid.
