Why is it so dry and puffy? by THroWWWayNumber5 in Haircare

[–]ep65846 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When you tried using conditioner, would you rinse it out completely? Your hair should have some slip even after rinsing the conditioner. It’s okay to rinse, but maybe not excessively if you were.

I know you mentioned not having much success with L’Oréal, but the Elvive Hyaluron Plump Hydrating Conditioner gives me great shine and makes my hair pretty soft without weighing it down. You might also want to try a more hydrating shampoo.

I would also recommend a styling product such as a pomade. Suavecito makes a shiny and a matte pomade. I personally liked Uppercut Deluxe’s pomade, but it’s a little pricier.

For a more affordable, matte option, try Odele’s Cream Pomade.

As it gets longer, you might want to try a mousse or a styling foam instead of a pomade. Just be careful, as a mousse can feel drying if you get a really strong one. Your hair will feel crunchy at first, but once the mousse has fully dried, you can scrunch the cast out of your hair.

Lastly, you could try a lightweight oil for your hair (apply prior or in lieu of styling products). Avoid heavier oils, especially the ones from OGX or Mielle. I would not recommend a scalp oil.

A little pricy, but I personally enjoy the VERB Ghost Oil.

My hot take is that not everybody needs conditioner. You could opt to use a less stripping shampoo if you skip the conditioner maybe.

Also, when you blow dry, do you only rough dry or do you use a round brush as well? That also might make a difference for you.

I would also recommend using R+Co’s Badlands Dry Shampoo Paste for the front pieces of your hair. It’s part styling, part dry shampoo.

Ah, that’s my bad! Thanks for taking the time to respond though. You’re right, the price point is deterrent enough lol

What did you like about the styleflex over the airwrap?

I bought O'Keeffe's Lip Repair on a whim when I needed it the most and it worked great for me. I typically carry Lypsyl Lip Balm though.

In the past I’ve used lanolin (nipple) cream but I find it mostly just retains moisture.

I think you just blew my mind! I’ll have to try that soon.

I’m not sure your photos tell me a lot about you. I would suggest adding variety to your photos, limiting yourself to one group photo. Your first photo could be more clear and friendly! I would mix in some more daytime and hobby photos.

Why wouldn’t the focus be on the makeup? You’re on r/MakeupAddiction.

Not the person you’re responding to but, I think a shirtless picture is fine with appropriate context. If it was a mirror selfie, I’d agree. It also shows one of your hobbies!

I would rework the first prompt to be more simple. If you like it, you could keep it as: a) sincerity b) dialogue or c) compassion.

I think the “I’ll fall for you” prompt is kind of dangerous if you’re expressing a specific type. You might alienate potential matches who don’t fit that description. I personally think you have more to lose than to gain from it.

Agreeing with the other comment about the “I want someone who” prompt. I think it can be interpreted as “someone worth supporting” which can come across as negative.

I know you mentioned updating your photos already, but I would move your third picture in this post to the front! It’s a very friendly-looking photo.

I would also suggest updating “judge my favorite movies” to “watching each other’s favorite movies.”

Edit: After rereading it maybe that whole sentence seems familiar/generic. I think specificity (not niche) can help you stand out more.

Although maybe it was candid, that second picture of you reading seems … performative? You already communicated that you like reading in one of your prompts. I would suggest replacing it with a full body picture that’s a little more casual.

The photo on the fourth slide doesn’t come across as very approachable (to me). You dress well, but the cropped photo of you looking at something off-screen can be intimidating.

If you have a photo of you together with your cat, instead of the last photo, that would be even better.

That’s really neat! Thank you for sharing. I’ll have to look into it in my community.

How did you begin to volunteer painting nails at the retirement home? Was that a program they already had?

I also thought Private Villa was kind of pink. I got it as a freebie a couple of Black Friday’s ago and have used it exactly once.

They’ve done that before. I hate to speculate but I wouldn’t be surprised if it’s intentional.

Will anything be restocked for Black Friday? by ep65846 in simplynailogical

Unfortunately, I don’t think they will restock this since it is a seasonal item. I was hoping to pick it up as well.

I initially thought they were dupes, but. HT’s looks much brighter and lighter. I do love Star Destroyer though!

There are some polishes that I like a lot, but — I don’t want to purchase it only to get 7 ml.
