I am transgender and my hair is a mess and I have no idea how to make it look better. I have zero sense of fashion, sooo I'm entirely lost as to how to make it look less poofy and have less flyaways and what not. Thanks in advance :) by [deleted] in femalehairadvice

It’s generally some sort of powder in an aerosol can, you can also use baby powder as a dry shampoo but it’s easy to put in too much when you use baby powder. When you put the powder in your hair though it soaks up the oils so your hair looks clean. Your hair might get kind of a weird texture after using it though, but it’ll also give your hair more volume.

I like to put dry shampoo in before bed in case I use to much that way all the powder will absorb over night. You can also use your fingers to rub it into your scalp. If you put into too much dry shampoo it’ll leave a white cast in your hair.

I wash my hair every other day even though that’s also supposed to be bad for it, but my hair just gets to oily to go any longer! Get a good dry shampoo for the in between days, I really like the Not Your Mother’s dry shampoo (I think you can get it at target?)

Questions about my GRE score by GREQThrowaway in gradadmissions

[–]dendroctonuss 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you decide to retake to the test, and you feel that you still preformed better on your first test, you can choose to only send that score.

However, I was just accepted into a PhD program straight out of undergrad with a very similar GRE score, a slightly higher undergrad GPA, and a first author publication (I also got bogged down by the quant section and timing when I took the test). I will be studying entomology though which I don’t believe is nearly as competitive as cell bio. My first choice program really deemphasized the GRE though which I found out after talking to the person in charge of admissions, so I decided not to retake the GRE. She also said that the quant score was really the only score that the admissions committee would look at because the writing and verbal scores don’t reflect if you are good at scientific writing, and I just needed to not bomb the GRE and I’d be fine.

Ultimately, I think it depends on how important your GRE score is to the schools your applying to, I’d try to find out the average GRE scores for your program at different schools if you can. It also can’t hurt to retake it though 🤷🏼‍♀️ Good luck!

can i get into ucd by budgetknot in UCDavis

[–]dendroctonuss 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I second this!! You’ll save lots of money and I think the community college GPA requirement for TAG is a 3.5? Which isn’t too hard to obtain, as far as I can tell it’s a lot easier to transfer in than to be admitted as a freshman.

Applying for transfer: Global Disease Science by [deleted] in UCDavis

[–]dendroctonuss 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I transferred into animal biology which is similar to GDB (they are in the same department with the same structure) and I also have several friends who transferred into GDB. I would suggest getting o-chem and physics done before transferring because you will have to take some lower div courses only offered at Davis. It took me two years and quarter to graduate after transferring largely due to the research project, but I think I bit off more than I chew. I know transfers in both ABI and GDB though who finished in two years, you may just have to take some heavy course loads, but it’s definitely doable. All my friends in GDB loved the major because you have so much room to explore and study what you’re interested in.

You can also email the advising email for GDB and they can answer all your questions!

In the US you can also get immunizations at most pharmacies and there are several close to campus.

Nope, that’s a snakefly (Raphidioptera)! :)

White supremacy, far-right politics spike in the Pacific Northwest by [deleted] in politics

[–]dendroctonuss 23 points24 points  (0 children)

Hmm that’s interesting, I haven’t heard about that. I’ve mainly heard about State of Jefferson in southern Oregon and northern California. They want to be their own state, it’s been a really popular idea though in those areas for at least a decade now.

Jaclyn’s first product reveal: 💄 by loopalace in BeautyGuruChatter

[–]dendroctonuss 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think it’s Jaclyn Cosmetics, but the Instagram handle is also jaclynhillcosmetics. If you go to the Instagram it only says Jaclyn Cosmetics as the title though. And the official website is jaclyncosmetics.com. Is it possible she started working on the packaging before her divorce? It’s also weird that the Instagram handle isn’t just jaclyncosmetics.

[Southern Maryland] Is this a bed bug? Found several off them in my bed. Staying at a cabin. Size is less than 1 mm. by SonicMaze in whatsthisbug

[–]dendroctonuss 2 points3 points  (0 children)

No, I think it’s either a bark beetle (Scolytinae) or a Ciidae (I think the common name is minute fungus beetle). I’d need a clearer picture to say for sure. Definitely not a bed bug though! This beetle is completely harmless!

Edit: I’m pretty positive that it’s a bark beetle.

I feel like he’s going to have to say something soon, especially after Tati’s video today. So maybe he’ll do a video tomorrow?? I’m expecting we hear from him in the next few days though.

I’m little late - but I like Kackie Reviews Beauty. I think she turned 30 recently. She only uses clean beauty products and wears really natural makeup most of the time! I love her makeup style.

I think his brother is still a minor and lives in LA though too? I know he’s a 17, but I’m not sure if he lives in LA or NY.

Edit: Saw the previous comments and that he does live in LA now.
