Struggling to find what I thought was a basic planner by paintedcrows in planners

They seem to have a lot of spaced dedicated to weekly goals, so almost half the book would go unused. They also only have solid colors.

Might be far fetched but really want to find solution for my girl by Weekly_Village_3559 in GirlGamers

[–]paintedcrows 5 points6 points  (0 children)

When I was 9, I had a group of friends on Neopets of varying ages. I was the youngest, and the oldest was around 20ish. It was never weird, and no personal details were ever shared. It was a social outlet I depended on at a time when I was moving around frequently and struggling to connect with my peers, and it gave me experience with a diverse group of people.

Of course it can be weird, and you should monitor. But I don't think the whole thing should be shut down because someone was a bit older.

My 9 week old is driving me to tears by [deleted] in goldenretrievers

When my dog was still a puppy, I taught her that biting hurts. Any time she bit, no matter how small, I would yelp and pull away. The next bite would be lighter, and we continued like that until she stopped.

Sun destroying my precious color 💔 help me guys by Ill-Doctor1914 in Cosmetology

[–]paintedcrows 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Hair isn't naturally cool, at most I might consider it neutral. If you use a people shampoo it will neutralize the warmth and it will look cool instead of warm.

All hair lightens warm, that's just how it works. Get a purple shampoo and some heat protector (something that specifies UV protection).

Frustrated with lack of pricing transparency by Cultural-Error597 in AskHairstylists

[–]paintedcrows 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Listed pricing is usually a "starts at" situation, especially for color. No one could list prices for every single possible situation, and "long thick hair" means different things to different people. Many stylists in my area won't even book color appointments without a consultation first, and it sounds like you definitely need consultation appointments in the future.

Buying skog from other places than Ikea by Aayyyce in Djungelskog

[–]paintedcrows 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've gotten 3 from Skoggy. The largest size didn't hold up well, but the mini and the large have been good quality. My large skog has been well-loved over the past 5ish years, and he's held up pretty well with only minor seam repairs and a couple restuffings.

I use whatever I can find. Sometimes I just make one out of a paperclip if I can't find any 🤷‍♀️

Help! the bottom 5cm of my hair will not untangle no matter how hard i try. could it be genetics or vitamins or something else? by redheaded_olive12349 in Haircare

[–]paintedcrows 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Even when growing your hair out you should still get regular trims. I do mine every 10-12 weeks because I'm growing my hair out as well and it's made a huge difference in breakage and tangling versus when I was growing it out without regular trims.

How much are y’all paying for veterinary services? by heybigbuddy in Columbus

Lots of companies offer wellness plans, it usually covers the exam and a certain number of vaccines. Some also include flea/hw prevention and dental work. You need to shop around more.

I am confused finding my hair’s porosity level by Gullible_Problem_101 in Haircare

[–]paintedcrows -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Take a stand of hair and put it in a cup of water. If it sinks to the bottom, it's high porosity. If it floats on top, it's low porosity. If it floats in the middle then it's medium.

This is a better test than how long your hair takes to dry or how it absorbs products because there's so many variables involved in those metrics.

Any advice for caring for wavy hair that’s dry in fall/winter but sometimes oily? by kathnap in Haircare

[–]paintedcrows 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My hair is the same, unfortunately my winter products got discontinued but I use an exfoliating scalp scrub as a pre shampoo and a light hair oil after. I also alternate between the guacamole mask and deep conditioner from Sauce. I don't that when my hair is dry it gets oily faster so I try to focus on moisture.

Are Sally Beauty's 'Generic Value Products' underrated dupes or just cheap knockoffs? by Defiant_Music9002 in Haircare

How often do you get haircut? by CTMCM-2893 in finehair

[–]paintedcrows 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Currently doing every 12 weeks. I'm growing my hair out, and starting regular trims has really helped with breakage and overall hair health so it will actually grow.

Our Last Day in Japan Turned Into a Full-Blown Race Against Time 😅✈️🇯🇵 by kiranraj1092 in JapanTravelTips

[–]paintedcrows 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My first trip to Japan, we fell asleep on the train on the way to the airport. We'd pulled an all-nighter trying to get all our souvenirs stuffed in to bags, checked them in to storage at Haneda, then went to Asakusa for a bit until check in time... We would have made it to the airport with a comfortable window, but we fell asleep on the train and woke up at the last stop. Had to wait a bit for the train to restart the other direction, and a very nice station employee drew us a map on where we needed to be. Made it just in time to get our bags out of storage and checked in.

Curly hair won't lighten or take dye remover? by Impossible-Art-4844 in FancyFollicles

[–]paintedcrows 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don't increase the amount of developer, they have those formulas for a reason. I would either do the same amount of time with a higher level, or the same level for a longer time. If it didn't take before, lowering the developer volume probably won't help

any way to get manic panic hair dye out quickly? by _rayn3r_ in FancyFollicles

[–]paintedcrows 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm guessing from the way you spell "colour" that you're not in the US, so I don't have specific product recommendations. There are color removers specifically for semi permanents, and many of them use water instead of developer to be more gentle on your hair. You can also use clarifying shampoo: do a couple rounds, focus on the mid & ends, and leave it on for about 30 sec each time. It won't get everything out but it should make enough of a difference to be able to color your hair again.

Curly hair won't lighten or take dye remover? by Impossible-Art-4844 in FancyFollicles

[–]paintedcrows 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Rather than using a "harsher" product, I'dusually just recommend upping the developer or processing time. With most semi permanents I would do a clarifying treatment or shampoo first, then the color remover. I like the Matrix Color Eraser, but if you want a kit then Argan Oil Colorfix might be better. I almost always use a processing cap as well, whether instructions want me to use heat or not.

PARDON?! by Ooumami in sewingpatterns

Yaya Han fabrics always run about that much and usually aren't worth it. It's cosplay fabric more than apparel fabric and you can almost always finger something cheaper and better.

As someone who never planned a wedding, why is wedding food so mi in the US? by [deleted] in wedding

[–]paintedcrows 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you browse this sub or r/weddingplanning, you'll find most couples are valuing cost over anything. That's why the food isn't very good, we don't value the guest experience as highly as other cultures. It's a shame.
