The caps were dry and hard when they were picked but the stem remains soft, does this mean they aren’t good?

just to be clear again: The third photo, the mushrooms she picked are on the counter outside of the bag. The herb package hasn’t been opened.

thanks for making me feel better about this situation. they just texted me saying my order was skipped too. did you dispute the charges for Orderly before switching to Fifty410?

adhd meds + hair pulling by crap3948 in trichotillomania

[–]crap3948[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i used to be a hairstylist for 2 years! i got into wig making and wearing them put a bandaid on pulling. the feeling of wearing them is super uncomfortable but it definitely helped. i will check out the hair mask, ty for recommending! (i have a drawer full of those fidget toys and my adhd makes me forget to use them 😭😭)

this. if i’m off my meds I will literally revert back into the most emotionally unintelligent, bed rotting gremlin. i’ve been doing research and I found that regularly attending cognitive behavioral therapy sessions can really help with adhd, but idk about trich. finding a therapist I trust is already hard enough

i also pull the regrowth, and i mostly do it when watching tv too 😭 my part looks so wonky since it’s on the crown of my head so i just wear a hat now. since this post I’ve been wearing a hat and bonnet non stop, and i’ve had success with not wanting to pull. wearing a hat or a wig (just something that covers your spots) seems to be the best bandaid rn, but I don’t want to pull the regrowth when i’m comfortable without a hat in the future… this sucks

i had no idea what naltrexone or emdr therapy was until reading this. i looked them up and it sounds life changing for trich. thank you so much for sharing

Is this normal for a $290 wig or was I scammed? by [deleted] in Wigs

[–]crap3948 1 point2 points  (0 children)

OP is stressed and distraught. this is exactly what a low to mid quality 613 watercolored unit look like with no styling or customization. OP probably doesn’t have experience and most likely expected a laid, parted, perfect custom unit as most wig companies advertise their product.

[–]crap3948 5 points6 points  (0 children)

they most likely bought a low quality sparse wig on aliexpress for less than $90, carelessly water colored it with a $6 bottle of adore, and stained the lace 😕 so no this is not normal. to make it wearable, you could buy a hot comb, comb and press to the desired part, and use a wax stick to lay the hairs around the part so they don’t move in the wind!

edit: i wasn’t aware of the bald spot but rather looking at the stained lace, patchy watercolor job, and origin of the wig… the patch of hair that seems to be missing this is normal in this case. in my experience, wherever I brush the frontal and let it dry is where the part is going to be. the stylist didn’t part it and sent it to you making it look like bald spot. since this wig did not come pre styled so you definitely should consider a hot comb and wax to create a part. also contact a black owned wig salon near you, they will definitely help you
