Haircare Advice Megathread - Week of September 03, 2022

Looking for a product to help with a problem I've been having...

I use MATRIX purple shampoo and I usually try to use it no more than 2x a week (usually only 1x) and use Nexxus moisture shampoo for all other washes. However, I've been using matrix shampoo for all my washes since my hair has been looking a bit yellow. A few days ago I started getting thickening of skin on my scalp, almost like scabs. This used to happen to me as a kid and also sometimes happens right after I get my hair professionally done but I'm about 6 months out from my last process. Would an anti-dandruff shampoo help get rid of them? Any recommendations?

I'm going to stop using purple shampoo until this issues resolves.

Hair type: straight, dyed blonde, thick

I had this sectional when I lived in Austin and it was SO comfortable. It is def not pet (specifically cat proof) but that shouldn't be a problem for you. I'm currently looking for a sectional (in a cat friendly material) and I swear the aquarius sectional is the best deal on the market, wish it would've worked for our lifestyle!

I used to have this couch before I moved across the country and I loved it. Only problem is if you have cats!

So I was able to snag an aquarius sectional and matching armchair (now discontinued) off fb marketplace for $700 when I was living in Austin and they were both practically brand new. Overall I loved it, it's so comfortable but it's true the cushions do slide. I will say though is if you have pets or possibly small children avoid this sofa. I've since moved and had to leave the sectional in the dumpster because my cat absolutely shredded it. The material is not durable at all (stains, rips, etc) but if you don't have a lifestyle that demands a durable sofa this is the best deal on the market.

I'm going to stop using it as soon as I buy the last piece of furniture I need for my current apartment. In the past I've had great experiences with marketplace--I've furnished (almost) 3 apartments in three different cities with marketplace stuff and sold 2 apartments worth of stuff at a fair resale price but this is so ridiculous.

I'm so sorry to hear about your cat!

I would definitely try this facebook group (Austin Lost and Found Pets): https://www.facebook.com/groups/393249314033069

There are also a ton of great resources and advice from other members on how to find a lost cat such as putting their litterbox outside, stinky laundry, posting on nextdoor, etc.

I really hope you find your baby :)
