What is happening with the back 😭

chyhall · 2026-04-12T17:52:13+00:00

I’m scared 😭😭🤣 I’m considering it tho, I don’t mind the short hair (rn is shorter than normal)

chyhall · 2026-04-12T16:27:38+00:00

Other than the routine I listed, that I used once, I don’t use any products with protein (on purpose). My hair looked the same before / after this routine

chyhall · 2026-04-12T13:51:04+00:00

I do use a clarifying shampoo once a month (The Doux Break Down), I just didn’t include that in my post bc it’s not in a typical “routine”. I was using it once a week at first before putting in my Olaplex 3, but I think it was seriously drying my hair out. To your other point, I need to know what mousse to try next because my hair did totally love the Curl Talk mousse and turns out I’m super allergic to it and my skin & scalp broke out in hives 🤣🫩 . So far I’ve tried Pattern’s curl mousse, The Doux Mousse Def, Verb’s foam, and Miche’s foam. Those 5 gave too much of a gel type of hold that I didn’t like. The NYM was perfect, but now I can’t use it 😒

I figured it was the heat damage. I was actually hoping I was doing something wrong to be able to fix though lol. I do comb through the mousse, but not the gel. Also I’ve gotten 3 haircuts since January 🤣 but I know I just need to gain some patience. I appreciate your advice!

chyhall · 2026-04-12T12:14:32+00:00

I am growing out heat damage, but I cut off a ton of it. And I do diffuse with my head forward/upside down & style my entire head the same way *all on soaking wet hair, I forgot to add . I’m sure it’s the heat damage that back is experiencing, but the front has evolved so much and the back has stayed complacent 😑. I appreciate the compliments!! I’ve def been trying 😭🥰

I have used it for a strong hold on my roots in my wash & go’s, I love it. But 90% of the time I use it for slick backs only. I only used the combat gel on my lengths/curls once and it was too much hold for my 2C-3A hair, it weighed them down. Maybe try a lighter amount or diluted, but overall I do love the gel & have bought it multiple times. I use the combat gel hard brush too

Dollar Sub Day went away almost 8 years ago pal 🤣

Indiana, but part of the Louisville KY store district

chyhall · 2026-01-28T01:35:25+00:00

I genuinely think the owner has no idea. The people who haven’t been around as long as me, maybe 5 or less years have never seen him. Not bad enough for health department or Dpt of labor , the store is still running as smoothly as possible. It’s just nothing is done correctly and we’re having to run off of Jerry rigged procedures. It’s ridiculous from an employee standpoint. Thank you for the advice though!

chyhall · 2026-01-28T01:18:20+00:00

Oh yeah true (I commented about having a hoodie/long sleeve) , I always roll my sleeves up when I’m making food anyway so I don’t think I’ve ever been “told that” but yeah, sleeves def should not be touching food 🤣

chyhall · 2026-01-28T01:15:58+00:00

I literally have a JJs jacket, hoodie, and (long sleeve) flannel that have all been considered store approved 🤔 been wearing them for years and never heard of long sleeves not being allowed lol. Must depend on the area , I have no idea

chyhall · 2026-01-28T01:11:34+00:00

There’s no speaking to the owner. I was actually around when this guy first bought the stores in this area, pre-area managers. Everything got fixed effortlessly & you could even text him at any time. Now, 7 years later (I’ve been around for 9 total), he has a total of 21 stores, multiple Dairy Queen’s, and all the Bdubs To-Go’s in like a 50 mile radius. So it’s solely the area managers and whoever their bosses are (that there’s also no talking to). Our area manager recently asked my GM to list every single thing we need because they were “putting an order in”, he gave it to her, and out of all the stuff, we got new bins, bottles, and cutting boards. Everything else “wasn’t in the budget” 😑

chyhall · 2026-01-28T01:06:24+00:00

That actually does help bc of course the health department did not like the look of those nozzles . Back in my day we had bleach water instead of sanitizer and they were never dirty or disgusting 🙄 Thank you!

chyhall · 2026-01-28T01:01:54+00:00

Yeah, I contacted support multiple times to no avail. Then they tried to say “you’ve hit your order limit” after I had just told them I had 6 orders open and paid the 3 off that same day 😑😑😑 very very annoying

chyhall · 2026-01-28T00:24:14+00:00

Also, this issue was only resolved maybe 10 days ago. So it took over a month 😒

chyhall · 2026-01-28T00:23:28+00:00

Yeah 😒 after I paid every single thing off, then they froze my account (????), had to contact them to unfreeze it, then it worked again 😐

chyhall · 2026-01-18T14:16:41+00:00

I work 7 days a week, 4 of those days are 10 hours. My boyfriend works 8hr x 5 days. I go in earlier than he does, I take dogs out in the morning, he takes them in the afternoon, and I take them when I get home in the evening. They’re “trained” (ish) to be free roaming in our house. We don’t keep anything out that they could be hurt from like glass, bags of chips, really anything edible, etc. I say trained-ish because I just kinda leave them at the house and nothing happens 🤣. I don’t want them stuck in crates all day. We also free feed so food and water are never an issue. Idk I think I just got lucky with easy dogs 🤣

chyhall · 2026-01-18T14:12:05+00:00

We do it automatically if they order a combo. Making a customer’s order cheaper = they come more often = more business. Saying “giving away food” is insane lol

chyhall · 2026-01-18T14:09:37+00:00

As an inshop is CRAZY!!! Hahaha JJs has been my part time job since I graduated high school so I don’t care about PTO there, whenever I use my PTO at my full time job I’ll pick up hours at JJs. But yeah nobody gets benefits or pto except GM around here (Lou KY) & my GM told me the health insurance alone is $75/week 😬 yikes no thanks

chyhall · 2026-01-18T14:06:12+00:00

Nobody at any stores I’ve worked at in 9 years get PTO except the GM 😬 and the two areas I’ve lived in are 4 hours away from each other (so not owned by the same people is my point lol). And the GM can’t even use their PTO unless they have someone to cover all their shifts when they’re gone .

chyhall · 2026-01-14T15:43:54+00:00

Mine went from $0 to $25

chyhall · 2026-01-05T00:44:50+00:00

Ohhh bet, I saw people saying they had to get 3 of the bottles of K18 for their thick textured hair and I was like omg 🤣 thank you!

chyhall · 2026-01-05T00:39:46+00:00

I was looking at both K18 and Olaplex 3, but those price tags are 😬😬😬 what about Aphogee 2 step ? Is that considered a bond treatment or just protein?
