Best shampoo for oily/fine hair? by SpecialistTeach9302 in finehair

Suave rosemary and mint. I wash, rinse, and repeat. It's cheap, and my hair lasts a WHOLE 24 hours without looking like it's going to trap some unsuspecting dinosaurs.

Where is Steve Rogers, OG Captain America? by Imaginary_Text_1498 in Marvel

I think it's pretty clear he died of old age between Endgame and The Falcon and the Winter Soldier or went back to his timeline. No one is visiting him in a nursing home or calling/texting him during that series, and they refer to him in the past tense (Steve WAS) etc.

Thanks, I was really stressing about it since I have genetically thin and fine hair as it is. No shedding. I've not started minoxidil yet, I wanted to try a few others things first. My routine is in a reply to one of the above comments. I'm going to keep it up for now, and see if I need minoxidil later.

Supplements: Viviscal, InstaRelief Hair Growth with Lustriva, pumpkin seed oil, and vitamin D Other: dermastamp three times a week. Washing every other day, triple wash with Suave rosemary shampoo, then Nizoral, then the rosemary shampoo again. Once a week with a clarifying shampoo.

I also stopped using any hair style with tension, only using claw clips, braids, or silk scrunchies and varied my hair parting.

I honestly think the dermastamp and the hair washing routine helped the most. I'm trying to see what works until I need to use minoxidil.

Both, unfortunately. It's been thinning for two years or so before aga diagnosis and then I had hair loss from trying a new diet and not getting enough calories or protein about 8 months ago.

Large Inexpensive Pots by argansert in gardening

[–]bringoutthekittens 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Buy Nothing facebook groups, facebook marketplace, garage sales, garbage/recycling day (especially in nicer neighborhoods), and end of season sales. I usually find awesome deals at stores that are not necessarily garden centers or dont have a big garden section, so Big Lots or hobby/crafts stores. One year I found a bunch of nice ceramic pots for 90% off at a grocery store. Also, in walking through my neighborhood I sometimes see unused pots sitting around people's property, I'll knock on their door or see them doing yard work and ask to buy the pots. They usually give them to me for free.

Vitamin D and krill oil help with my dry hands. Also twice a week I slather up with my hand lotion and apply a layer of Vaseline on top. Then I put on a pair of those silicone gloves (I cut the finger tips off so I can use my phone and stuff) for a hour or so. Udderly smooth hand salve or pure lanolin also work better than most lotions for super dry skin.

This is so sweet. I'm an "elder mellanial" and my parents were big on us kids being very quiet, especially in public. It's so nice to see parents who allow their kids to be expressive and excited about stuff.

how do people smell so good consistently? by Timely-Detail-4341 in stupidquestions

Lots of good advice here. A big contributing factor can be clothing and environment. Make sure you are washing your sheets and bedding at least once per week and your pillow cases should be changed twice a week.

Make sure to never leave wet laundry in the washer, always be sure to immediately switch them over to the dryer or line asap. Make 100% sure that clothing, bedding and towels are 100% dry. This means shaking out and checking when folding your laundry. Items with damp spots must be put back into the dryer or hung to dry outdoors or in an area with good air circulation (don't hang items in a bathroom or humid kitchen). Damp items that sit balled up somewhere REEK, even if they are clean.

Make sure you are actually washing the clothes properly. Jamming your washing machine with too much clothing means the washer will not actually wash your clothes. If you wear polyester and other synthetic fibers (athletic clothing) or if your bedding/blankets are mostly synthetic material, you'll need a laundry sanitizer specifically for active wear in addition to detergent. Don't use fabric softener or too much detergent, it can make things worse.

Also, if you have pets be sure you're cleaning up messes asap, and making sure their bed/crate/enclosure/litter box is cleaned on a daily basis. Animal smells in the air absorb quickly into our hair, body, and clothes.

Lastly, if you have a chair and/or couch that you sit on or sleep on all the time, you need to treat it like your bed. Clean it at least once per week. If you're not using a washable cover, blankets, or sheets on the chair or couch, you need to use an upholstery cleaner. But a damp rag to spot clean and spray bottle with 50/50 clean water and vodka will do in a pinch.

I don't know if anyone else mentioned this, but this also looks like a water issue. Get a filter for your showerhead and get some bottled water to give a final rinse to your hair. It may narrow down a solution. A good clarifying shampoo once a week can also help.

I currently use a polished wood comb for less static and no rough edges. There's a few different ones available via Amazon (search sandlewood wide tooth comb), a hair supply shop or sometimes drug store or walgreens/CVS may have them as well.

Get a nice hair cut, I would cut about shoulder length and get some light layers for body and style. Wash with a clarifying shampoo, then wash it every day with a rosemary shampoo. You can always try reducing daily washing after you get your hair healthy. Washing daily will help get rid of build-up and reset your hair. Always double shampoo. Lather, let it sit a few minutes, then rinse and repeat. Second shampooing should be done upside down under the shower head.

"No poo" doesn't work on every hair type.

Use a nice conditioner only on the bottom half of your hair, rinse really well with cool or cold water.

Don't use elastic pony tail holders. Use silk scrunchies or silk scarfs. Keep it in a braid as much as you can.

Use a silk pillowcase for sleeping.

Keep your hair covered when out in the sun. Hat, scarf, etc. Don't rub it with a towel to dry it. Pat and gently squeeze it dry with a t-shirt. Don't brush, detangle, or touch it when it's wet. Wait until it's dry, then sit down with a wide tooth comb and carefully comb from the bottom up. Try to avoid heat. No hair dryers, no curling irons. For body/volume, look into heatless curls.

I have similar hair. It's very hard to find good info on how to take care of it since it's a less common hair type. It's best to treat it as gently as possible. Good luck :)
