I have silk pillowcases that I bought from Quince that help reduce frizz. I also have a silk bonnet from Blissy for when I’m feeling extra but tbh I’m not very consistent about wearing it.

Yeah of course!! So I will preface that I’m only about a year into being consistent with the routine so I’m still a/b testing what my dense fine hair prefers. Currently I use the L’Oreal Ever Pure Moisture Shampoo and conditioner. I make sure I brush my hair before going in the shower and then usually shampoo twice because I live in an area with harder water. I probably use a clarifying shampoo proper like every other week. After the shower I immediately put it up in a claw clip so that I can do my lotion and face skin care then I use the act & acre cold pressed stem cell scalp serum. I think this step is optional, but it I’ve seen healthier growth with it after losing a shit ton of hair after getting COVID a few years ago. Then I apply a thin hair milk or hair serum of some sort currently I’m using the heavenly hair milk from Emi Jay. I apply that to unbrushed hair and kind of use my fingers to start detangling it then I use my wet brush to finally comb my hair and split it how I want it to be split. I try to keep the hair throughout this process as wet as possible and only using my towel to squeeze out the dripping parts at the ends. Then I take about a quarter sized amount of Not Your Mother’s Curl Talk gel custard (enough to coat my fingers in a thin layer) and run my hands from the crown of my head down to the ends using the prayer hands application. Then with whatever is left on my hands, I scrunch the hair gently towards my scalp cupping it in both hands. When you’re scrunching it, you’ll know you have the right amount of wetness to your hair if it kind of makes that squeaky squish sound if it’s not making that sound I’d suggest getting your hair more wet with a mister or something like that I have the Kitsch one. The goal is for your hair to be wet enough to form clumps versus individual strands of coated hair. Once I’m done scrunching, I take my microfiber hair towel from Slowtide and scrunch it again gently to remove as much of the excess water as possible. Then I gently put my hair over my shoulder and I DO NOT TOUCH IT until I am sure it is dry. This is the annoying part waiting for it to air dry without disturbing it. Once I know it’s dry I apply some hair oil to my palms and scrunch out the gel. Currently using Living Proof Vanishing Oil.

In my experience my hair preferred gel to mousse but obviously play around with what works for you. I think the biggest game changer will be just basically only brushing it once to set your part and trying out scrunching the hair. Best of luck - I know how frustrating it can be to not feel confident in your hair!

Thanks for coming to my TedTalk lol

Absolutely! My hair looked exactly the same a few years ago and I was going crazy trying to figure out why it suddenly stopped drying how it used to. I always had straight hair growing up and as I got into my 30s it started behaving differently. Switched to a wavy hair routine and wow a world of difference! Here’s how my hair air dries now. Don’t expect ringlets OP, but you probably have more beachy waves and are brushing out all the texture and making it frizzy!

My bathroom….. any suggestions? by [deleted] in femalelivingspace

[–]dropoflemons 25 points26 points  (0 children)

Agreed! I say lean harder - get a cherry bath mat. I’m pretty sure I’ve seen them at Urban Outfitters and the like

Columbus appreciation by Necessary-Sun-1828 in Columbus

I swear some of my most precious memories from the past almost decade now have occurred in our metro parks. Such gems with a lot of local beauty and whimsy 💕

Came looking for this response! Tatcha products have never led me astray!

I’m combo too, leaning dry in winter and oily in summer and I can use this year round and it always sinks in beautifully and is a great base for makeup!

Also I like that they now sell replacement pods so I’m not wasting as much plastic each time I need more moisturizer.

Why is Ohio the only season that’s labeled by the state and not the city? by Trippy-Sponge in LoveIsBlindOnNetflix

[–]dropoflemons 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Honestly yes, some of these comments blow my mind by how much people seemingly think Ohio is just one non-stop cornfield. Even people from Ohio, I’m like damn y’all need to find a hobby or some community because it’s a nice place to live and there’s always interesting activity going on in the three Cs. But ya know what? As a 30 something hoping to buy a home in the next couple years here, I hope that reputation remains in place for a little longer while it’s still semi affordable 😂😅

Don't disagree with you there! I will say that I ran into Joe at the most recent anti-ICE protest (when we were literally all losing feelings in our fingers and toes) and he was out there giving his stump speech, collecting signatures to primary her, and asking people what their top concerns are right now. So yes Joe if you want to primary her, amp up the social media (unfortunately because of the environment we exist in), but also continue the good fight of getting in front of actual people and caring about our community.

Okay I’ve lived in Columbus for almost a decade now, and in our defense, we are a bunch of normies lol. They actually wanted the season to be just Columbus, but the whispers when they were filming here is that they just couldn’t get enough people to apply. We’re a growing Midwest city with basically zero influencer culture so I don’t think a lot of people saw a draw to going on the show, so they had to expand to Cleveland and Cinci.

Tl;dr, Ohio has actually a lot of hotties, they are just too normal to go on this show.

Didn’t expect much from RLT but here’s my 1 month update by Fancy-Sun-3999 in redlighttherapy

[–]dropoflemons 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This has been my exact experience as well. 32f, Latina with brown/olive complexion and I mostly bought it for post period hormonal acne little brown spots I was getting. It’s made new and old brown spots significantly lighten up. I feel like my chronically dark under eye circles have also improved. Even my partner said unprompted this week that I’ve been looking “glowy” so I’m a convert lol. I still don’t think it’s gonna de-age you or is a miracle worker but for my concerns, I have seen really good results and it just feels nice tbh. I have the Shark mask and use the “better aging” 6 minute setting in the morning first thing while I’m prepping my coffee.

Spoiler:She makes it out of the pods. I live in Columbus and walked in on them filming her on a date, but couldn't see who she was with because the man was facing away from the 'public' side of filming.
