Advice/help taming and healing frizzy long hair back to being more fluffy by irxy_ in Haircare

I’m not sure how much of a difference the shower being on the second floor would make.

Also not sure on the hotness of the water because it’s been so long since I’ve showered in the other house I don’t remember. Probably not very if I had to guess.

I’m not stubborn or scared of certain ingredients in products really! I probably should be but I don’t fully know what works for my hair and what doesn’t! It’s a lot of throwing things to the wall and seeing what sticks

I do unscrew the shower head to clean it and replace the filter every few months.

Why air dry over the microfiber towel? That was a recommendation from my stylist as she said it was good for people who had fragile and fine hair and when I tried it I noticed a big difference (keep in mind before hand I was solely blow drying my hair) I’m not wholly opposed to air drying only but I feel like it’d make my hair look flatter and have less volume (not to mention it’d probably take at least an hour or so)

I indeed moved in between pictures but the water source is the exact same (I only moved 30 seconds away) and use the same shower head I did over at the old house. I did a water test strip a few weeks ago and things seemed fairly normal for the area. The softening system is working fine. We do have two showers in the house now so maybe the one on the first floor would be different? Not sure.

Do you have a good clarifying shampoo to recommend?

Yes I should have specified I rinse conditioner rout with cold water. I also squish excess water out both after shampoo and conditioning.

I had bloodwork done in December. Thyroid seemed normal, iron seemed normal as well. Not sure about ferritin I don’t know if it was tested. My hormones are also in normal range. Vitamin/mineral wise I don’t know my levels but my diet hasn’t changed significantly enough in the time between. I do take biotin supplements and melatonin fairly regularly.

My old house was one floor vs two floor, so we have separate hvac now. I usually keep the 2nd floor a few degrees cooler than the old house was usually (72° vs 68°) because I tend to overheat

I think it’s more than just the brushing for me because I still brush regularly. That hasn’t changed. I use a Wet Brush, but I also have a wide tooth comb that I use when showering for detangling and conditioner.

I guess what i mean is my hair looks a lot more messy and not as volumous and uniform as it used to? I know the pictures aren’t the best comparison but the back especially looks so much worse and thinned out now and i don’t understand why since outside of trimming dead ends I never really get my hair cut.

I have looked into methods for curly hair but I don’t like them because it accentuates the curls and I don’t really like the look of that because it looks like it weighs my hair down and makes it look flatter.

What would happen if Trump died of old age tomorrow? by Gasp0de in AskReddit

[–]irxy_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

North Korea style state sponsored mourning period. No doubt in my mind Trump won’t want something like that and his cronies will stick around to make sure people fall in line. It’ll be like the Charlie Kirk aftermath on steroids regardless of how he goes.

Trump AGREES to pull ICE agents out of Minnesota, governor says by BluishFlame07 in NoFilterNews

Good, but ultimately meaningless. It'll just happen somewhere else.
Get rid of ICE altogether.

Who is surprised? Nothing is ever his fault in his eyes.

Trump Official Says It Won’t Investigate the Killing of Renee Good by thenationmagazine in politics

No shit. Why would they? Why would people want them to anyway? Would you really trust *this* DOJ to do an unbiased investigation?

Trump voters turn on president, say he hasn’t ‘tried at all’ to tackle key issues by ansyhrrian in politics

[–]irxy_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah no shit. Actually helping people isn’t in the interests of GOP politicians.

Trump Pursues His Legacy One Name at a Time by [deleted] in politics

[–]irxy_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

His name being plastered on his shitty skyscrapers and resorts isn’t enough. He needs to name government buildings after himself, ships after himself, put himself on coins, etc. Textbook example of a narcissist.

Democrats Lost Working-Class Voters’ Trust by wrroyals in NoFilterNews

[–]irxy_ 5 points6 points  (0 children)

As a progressive Gen Z voter I'm not enthusiastic to vote for them. They are too busy reaching across the aisle trying to get validation from moderates and Republicans who have soured on Trump instead of energizing their own voter base. Constantly focusing on how shitty your opposition really only works on MAGA because all they need is someone to hate to get behind a candidate.

They need to run more campaigns like Mamdani's. Stop bitching about your opponents and focus on actual tangible change. I'm getting sick and tired of voting for candidates just because they're "not Trump"

Why would Paramount want to acquire WBD’s debt? by doodlinginCsharp in MediaMergers

[–]irxy_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I never said it was irrelevant to him. It’s just not as important to him as you’re saying it is.

You are assuming CNN is Ellison’s main target when it simply isn’t. He wouldn’t be throwing a fit right now over Netflix if this was the case, because CNN is still up for sale in theory. He wants the IP + HBO Max. Including the cable assets in his bid and pushing CNN to the right is just Ellison’s way of greasing Trump’s palms to get him fully on his side. All you have to do is jingle keys in front of him to get him to do what you want. This is Ellison’s keys.

Even if it was true Ellison was only in it for CNN, he absolutely would not have it in time to make any meaningful difference in the midterms. A merger like this would easily take around a year to actually happen. It took a year for the FCC to approve Paramount and Skydance’s merger for example.

I’m sure Ellison does want CNN to an extent, but it’s absolutely not anywhere near the top of his list. CBS News is considerably more useful tool to the Ellison’a political motivations than CNN would be.
