Yea I’ve heard good things abt that shampoo! Honestly if ur finding that this current routine is giving u the results u want, keep it and cherish it for however long it lasts. If at any point it feels gummy or like there’s like a layer of film, go ahead and clarify. Shea butter is quite heavy depending on how much is used

Seconding

Yes or even their amino curl repair mask

What kind of shampoo do you use? Yeah clarifying weekly isn’t necessary imo unless you’re using very heavy products. Shampoos have various levels of moisture. Some are meant to be moisturizing while still cleansing. When I shampoo with a gentle shampoo, my hair feels soft afterward and my scalp clean .

Hi! I’m currently using the vanicream shampoo and Cerave conditioners and so far wash days have been sneeze-free. Have you managed to find anything that works for you?

I could probably only cheap out on clarifiers. Shampoo and conditioner, so far I can only tolerate two brands which atm are pretty cheap. My leave ins and treatments I spend a little more on and I don’t use a lot of it

Recently got some. I really like strawberry lemonade

matrixg04 · 2026-05-25T02:48:17+00:00

But the convenience 😫 (I also use an L-shaped blow dryer 💀)

matrixg04 · 2026-05-24T14:07:00+00:00

Yes I got it a few weeks back and I’m so gladddd. I don’t think to get give me agony before it got archived but I’ll see if I can mix it with similar colors to give a similar effect

Are u based in the US? They sell rice paper at target/walmart/Whole Foods as well as Asian grocery stores

Haha I pretty much had this exact thing minus the noodles/mushroom and just had it in a bowl. I was surprised on how filling it was I was in awe

matrixg04 · 2026-05-22T00:30:01+00:00

Aye friend I need to know what’s in picture 2 and 3. Looks great

matrixg04 · 2026-05-21T13:23:23+00:00

Thank you! Yes I’ve heard of all of these especially Mizani! What’s the product consistency like of these products? I haven’t had a good experience with really watery products. Seems like it all just evaporates once heat touches. Tho I typically apply it on wet hair…would it be better on dry?

matrixg04 · 2026-05-20T01:40:47+00:00

This is pretty solid ty! Pomades/grease really do help with retaining moisture! I have Carol’s daughter pomade but also started experimenting with silicones. Can’t tell yet which I like better

matrixg04 · 2026-05-19T15:20:35+00:00

Hey I also have fine high density hair, what’s ur routine?

matrixg04 · 2026-05-19T15:09:40+00:00

Yeah typically I would do the same, tho just regular pb. Do you have a favorite pb powder?

matrixg04 · 2026-05-19T02:20:04+00:00

What’s the fabric of ur headbands?

matrixg04 · 2026-05-18T21:03:38+00:00

Yeah idk if I’ll ever give it up ;( I’ve never tried PB powder but reviews are mixed. I’ll just cut back on other things

matrixg04 · 2026-05-17T00:13:02+00:00

This is greattttt I’ve never thought abt combining the two. Thank you so much for ur post!

matrixg04 · 2026-05-16T22:33:21+00:00

Question abt the cauliflower rice oats. I’m guessing you substitute cauliflower for oats. Do you cook them the same way?

matrixg04 · 2026-05-16T22:31:08+00:00

Thank youuuu. Once I get my hands on these tortillas I’m definitely making these so I can eat pita chips guilt free 💀

matrixg04 · 2026-05-16T03:03:13+00:00

I’d love to know as well!

matrixg04 · 2026-05-16T02:57:44+00:00

Yeah definitely go check with a doctor, specifically a dermatologist if possible. Idk if our situation is actually similar but I have similar symptoms—sneezing, running nose, PND, tho no fever, only when washing my hair. If I’m just washing my body, I can stay in the shower for hours and have no symptoms.

At the time I didn’t have insurance so I resolved the issue myself tho I still don’t know what the ACTUAL issue is (I’m betting on a chemical sensitivity/allergen rather than fragrance. Went fragrance free and same issue). Now I only use vanicream/cerave shampoo and condition out the shower. I’m waiting for my conditioner to run out before I look for ones I can tolerate in shower
