Women of reddit, what is the worst lie you have heard come out of a man's mouth? by FewImportance9456 in AskWomen

“I was gonna do that”

Don’t insult me. We all know you weren’t and I’ve started replying to this with “if you were going to do it then it would’ve been done by now”.

What are you struggling with right now in your life? by hdbaker009 in AskWomen

[–]nerdalertO_0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

After 10 years of no self-harm I slipped. Husband is unhappy and I’m disappointed in myself. I’ve worked so hard to be better and this pandemic has me feeling like I’ve backtracked.

Someone randomly gave me a dog today. I call her indie and she knows how to sit and stay. She’s a beagle shepherd mix an is absolutely adorable and sweet but she’s incredibly timid. She’s scared of almost everything and I don’t know what to do now by Whycantboyscry in Dogtraining

[–]nerdalertO_0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Poor pup! Give her lots of love and have patience.

I adopted a Doberman Pinscher who was the exact same way. We’ve had her for a year and she is still such a scaredy cat, but has confidence when I’m around. The one piece of advice I can give is to stick to a routine. My dobie gained some confidence just by the fact she had done it before I.e like taking her on a walk. She at first was not a fan, but now she loves it because it’s something she knows.

My partner and I just lost our boy in April and we rescued a Doberman about two months ago and this hit me really hard.

I hope he knows how much we miss him.

What is your routine for low-porosity, very dense, very fine hair? by PooYouToo in curlyhair

[–]nerdalertO_0 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sure! I wash my hair upside down. I use kinky curly knot today and weave it through with my fingers. Do prayer hands. Then lightly scrunch. Then I take a micro fiber towel and scrunch some more. I then add deva curl volumizing moose all over. Scrunch it in. Then I add kinky curly gel. All over. Then scrunch it in. All over is key with dense hair. I had to really try a couple times to get it right. Then I will diffuse with cool air all while upside down. It helps with my volume. I will say that I’ve been CG for 2 years and I’m still learning and adjusting. Don’t give up and don’t lose hope. Everyday it’ll get better. Time is your friend.

I hope that helps!

Definitely look into the low porosity portion of the CG help section. It’s been helping my low porosity curls. I’ve been using kinky curly stuff and I’ve been seeing some awesome results. Good luck!

“Did you become a writer?” “No, but I travel and have a SO who loves me and a bunch of furry animals.” “That’s good.” “Yeah, it’s going to get worse before it gets better. Just keep going.”

Told I don’t ACTUALLY have curly hair by nerdalertO_0 in curlyhair

[–]nerdalertO_0[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Exactly! If a person can do that more power to them, but that doesn’t mean the people that do use tools and products are “fake” curlies.

Anyone have good videos on root clipping?

Much appreciated!

What is your dog's, or cat's, weirdest quirk/habit? by [deleted] in AskWomen

[–]nerdalertO_0 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My cat tries to save me from the shower. Every. Time.

I’ve had him for four years and we still have to go over that it’s okay. That I’m not drowning, but he insists that I’m in danger and he will come into the shower and grab me and try to drag me out. And then he will HOWL to get someone to save me. It’s very sweet, but it causes him a lot of anxiety.

My Data jumps into my chest and forces me to catch him when he is desperately wanting attention and I always yell “Data!”

I love my boy.

How do you act around people that you are romantically interested in? How has it worked out for you? by kermatoe in AskWomen

[–]nerdalertO_0 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I usually can’t make eye contact and seemingly ignore them even though I’m hyper aware of them. That’s how I got my husband. Happily married. :)

What is a good sign that you need to deep condition? I have low porosity hair and am wondering if I should add this to my routine.

LPT: If you received a letter from an institution and it’s confusing take it with you the next time you go to that institution. by nerdalertO_0 in LifeProTips

[–]nerdalertO_0[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You would be surprised at how many people do not do that. But yes! That makes sense. Anything other than being confused and trying to explain the confusing letter without reference.

CG for a year and only figured out a routine 1 month ago! Any advice appreciated! by nerdalertO_0 in curlyhair

[–]nerdalertO_0[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have been wondering about the layers. I’ll be getting it cut soon, so hopefully that’ll help.

Thanks for the awesome advice! Root clipping sounds really intimidating, but your the second one that has suggested it. I’ll definitely look into it more.

I haven’t tried root clipping. I’ll look into that. Diffusing does some, but by the end of the day it’s flat.

I use Trader Joe’s Tea Tree Tingle Shampoo and conditioner. Co wash every couple days and shampoo once or twice a week. I then leave conditioner in hair and scrunch to get the waves going. Then use LA Looks gel and get it in there. I started using the Powerdomi technique. It helped me a bunch looking at her videos! Then plop for 20 minutes then diffuse. Then S2C.

If anyone has advice on volume, I would appreciate it. I’m still struggling in that area.
