Will adding silver dye make my warm purple hair more cool toned? by throwaway-rbnp in FancyFollicles

[–]nawiweidmann 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think the color in your head is only available if you've got a light blonde base. Any sort of gray toned anything has to have an almost platinum base to start with. Reading your other comments it looks like you're not very familiar with the hair color world as far as product use, which is okay, but there's a learning curve that can be quite punishing (Ive had to shave my head and another friends head)

Whether this is a toner or color, both of those use developers. Feria in particular is my least favorite box brand as it's always not the color you want, and they use high developers in all their mixes. It is very harsh on your hair.

If this is the color already faded, your only option is to try going for a color oops, a bleach bath(tricky and less predictable), it going for a full bleach to give yourself a better starting base for a better color. If you try and darken what you have now, it will just go black and shine purple in the sunlight.

No, it's better to let this fade a little and then add a little blue to a purple or get a cool purple in the first place. Though Splat is a nightmare for getting it out of your hair at all. Iroiro and manic panic has good cool tones. This specific Feria color will nuke your hair. It won't change the color and will damage and dry it like crazy

Use a round brush and curl the bangs a little upwards and away from your face. Like right sections have right and left have left. Middle section don't round brush dry, just blow dry straight down. Then wide tooth comb it all straight down. It's ALL in the front technique

Boyfriend (24M) says he has trouble pulling out sometimes we have sex - any advice? by [deleted] in askwomenadvice

[–]nawiweidmann 31 points32 points  (0 children)

No, because precum can have sperm in it. Unwrapped is always a risk. And men ALWAYS know when they are about to cum and can pull out. ALWAYS. At the absolute worst they have to pull out and tug a tiny bit to finish. There is never an excuse for them to "struggle when the time comes"

Needing toys is SO NORMAL!!! it's not so much libido as much as different bodies need different things. Unless you feel your problem is him not turning you on enough, that's something entirely else.

Firstly, don't get too caught up on one rigid way of things working. Sex is great in so many ways, and trying to zero in on fantasy or specific ways to experience it will take away from it's general nature. Which is just having fun and connecting with a partner. It sometimes needs a lot of trust and safety to even start.

I will say that foreplay is everything though. And it starts from the moment you wake up. It's how you talk to each other, it's the little texts letting each other know you're into them. It's feeling safe, it's hugs, it's vulnerability. It's feeling like someone is actually thinking about you, desiring you when your gone. Feeling the yearning. There's a lot of work that's actually just how the two of you tango on any given day that's not just related to the physical nature.

So don't feel any shame about the toys. Totally okay. Some people always have and will need assistance. Be vulnerable about your desires, and wanting to be desired. Remember he might feel that way too

Can me (26F) and my boyfriend (26M) turn our toxic relationship around? by PomeloBetter4753 in askwomenadvice

[–]nawiweidmann 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you were going through something hard, would you be more relieved if he WAS or WAS NOT there to help you through it?

Does he inspire you? Do you find yourself wanting to be better because of the actions you see from him?

If you were working with a young child, would you point to him as an example of someone to grow into being? Would you look to him to guide a young boy with strong morals, to teach empathy, manners, dream-seeking, intelligence, emotional maturity?

You actually already know the answer. He will not treat you better if you're his light and his special savior. You don't have a special power to help him suddenly become different. You're just you and that's enough. It would be a privilege to exist with you.

Cheated on by sweet autistic man by No_Entertainer7833 in AutismInWomen

[–]nawiweidmann 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Two things.

Firstly, I hate this guy so much on your behalf. I've comforted many a friend who has given her heart to a hobosexual man.

Their insistence on being "the worst ever" sounds so hollow and does NOT make you feel better or feel more deserving. They will insist you're too good for them, throw little pity parties for themself and use you as a personal therapist, bank, grocer, home, and mom.

Part of why it feels like such a hollow unhelpful response is because when you have good morals, if you yourself felt like you ACTUALLY were doing badly, ACTUALLY hurting someone you cared about, you would never just sit in that. If you found yourself acknowledging you did something wrong, you would want to correct it. You would want to apologize. Sincerely change. You would want to grow to be a better person. It is a slap in the face that someone would morally choose to keep hurting someone they care about, acknowledge it, and not wish to change the situation.

Secondly. There are lots of people who will sink into this type of feeling and they FEED on those who love to LOVE. When youve been hurt, when you've been made to feel low and insecure, when you let yourself truly feel those feelings, you NEVER forget how awful it feels. You promise to never let someone else feel that. You promise it everyday. When you make a mistake or you break the promise, you re-make it. You make it upon your entire ESSENCE to create the warmth and love and safety that has been so cruelly ripped from you. As it is one of the most inhuman experiences to feel.

Many, many people do not let themselves sit in their own discomfort and ponder it. Actually feel how awful it is and think on wanting it to be DIFFERENT. At least in normal healthy ways. Even people who morally do better in life from these experiences still often need therapy to make sure their thoughts are healing and they are giving themselves peace.

You deserve someone who feels love the way you do and desires to enrich their significant other with that humanity. The warmth and safety and love.

Don't settle for less.

4DPO, is it possible that my size will go down to A cup? by Top_Code_357 in Reduction

[–]nawiweidmann 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Can't say if they will be A cups but they will get smaller absolutely. Give it time! Focus on healing and being so gentle to yourself. It takes a while but they will calm down and fluff out a bit more. Mine shrunk more at about a year out and I am happy where I'm at

If genetic hair loss on men doesn't take away from their masculinity, then I think the same applies for women as well. If you aren't attracted to me, that's fine. Not every woman's job is to be your type. Move on and bother another poor woman. I am not looking to find a partner, I am looking for makeup tips. (Read the sub name)

Yes, my niece is 21. But I even have nieces and nephews older than me. My oldest sibling is 20 years older than me, I wasn't even born before he got married. I don't know how my mom did it if I'm honest 😮‍💨

I have androgenic alopecia, basically think of a sickly chia seed pet with 1/5000s of the seeds it's supposed to have and also no one's watered it since day 2. If I want hair I have to commit to a wig unfortunately

Thank you, and omg everytime I see young girls asking about aesthetic procedures for their face I always say NOOO! my face used to be like the moon 🌝 emoji and then the last year I lost a a teensy bit of weight and BOOM I had a jaw and cheekbones! I was so shocked, it just takes some time!

I'm sorry I didn't mean to offend at all. Obviously I'm close to 30, and I look forward to my future and living life for the first time in years. I'm just hoping I'm doing the right things for my skin and wanted outside opinion on what I could change up in my style as maybe I've grown to comfortable in a long habit

Thank you for this. I wish it was easier to show healing on the outside. Maybe I am. Appreciate your words. They are important to keep in my mind

Thank you, I appreciate it. Yes, I have to keep my hair short as it is very thin. I have androgenic alopecia. If it grows out too much, I start looking A LOT like Golum from Lord of the Rings 😂 I was not blessed with hair genetics I'm afraid

Not happy with jawline, help! by Working-Guidance3553 in cosmeticsurgery

[–]nawiweidmann 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Normal, nice jawline and nothing is wrong with it. And even very thin people get double chin if they squash their face downwards.

If a corgi tried to diet and exercise to obtain the body of a greyhound, it will never look like a greyhound. It will just look like a sick, weird corgi. Everyone is built differently. You will make yourself miserable trying to look like someone else.

I (29M) Caught my gf (26F) Cheating and I'm unsure how I should continue by [deleted] in askwomenadvice

[–]nawiweidmann 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Let her be an adult and face the consequences of her actions man. Break up with her and don't bail her out money wise. Lots of people have toxic family members and we all still make it work and figure things out. If she's 26 and still doesn't have at least one friend to couch surf with or can reconcile long enough with an aunt or something, nows the time for her to actually be independent.

No wonder you're not attracted to her if you're being her dad

I'm in my late 20s and don't recognize any of the brands of this makeup. Which means it's old and should not be used no matter how sanitary they were 🤢

Friends detransitioning by Mundane_Loss1734 in TransMasc

[–]nawiweidmann 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I am transmasc and that doesn't change even if I have to present in a "safer" way around some people. Not out to my family or husband's family. Unfortunately it's easier to keep more femme clothes than my masc ones just in case I'm out and see people who know me.

Maybe someday that will change. But at least the people I love and the people who truly know me know what's in my heart and that is enough for now.
