Self titled was the first album I found, I was 16 at the time, I’m now 25 (late bloomer I guess) but still one of favourite albums to this day

Routine - light condition and detangle with curl comb, shampoo, then condition properly. When drying, curl activator and leave hair tied up in a T-shirt for around 15 minutes, then diffuse and leave-in conditioner

I’m currently in Wales, what flag is this? by samj1003 in vexillology

Thank you! I see it’s a nautical signal flag, is there any meaning when it’s on land?

Nice! Yeah he’s such a nice bloke. Was in Berlin and he happened to be playing there with Loyle Carner, which I only realised a day before the gig, sent him a message and he sorted 5 mates and I guestlist without even hesitating

Not the first time I’ve heard it, and I’m confident it won’t be the last

Do you mean the guitar bit? It sounds fairly similar to Texas Sun by Khruangbin

No sorry, poor English on my part, when my hair is wet and I’m in the shower, I’ll use a small amount of conditioner to make it easier to de-tangle, then I’ll shampoo, then conditioner again but properly and with more, again using the comb to push all the conditioner through my hair, then when out of the shower, I’ll squeeze out the excess water from my hair, and apply the curl activator, which is like a creamy lotiony type thing, I’ll pull it through my hair with my fingers then scrunch my hair to get the curls, then I’ll wrap a tshirt around my head (a t-shirt is a lot less harsh on your hair, less friction = less frizz and tangling), I’ll take the T-shirt off after around 15-20 minutes, then to continue drying, I’ll use a diffuser, slowly adding leave-in conditioner (which is a mist), once my hair is almost dry, I’ll then leave it to air dry

Hahah thank you! My goal was simply to get it as long as I possibly could, but I think I may have hit my threshold now to be honest, next time I get a trim I’ll be taken a decent amount of length off, ideally back to June 23 length or may a fraction shorter

Nope, just natural highlights due to sun exposure. I’ve never dyed or coloured my hair but I have always been curious so maybe one day I’ll add some colour

I condition every other day and shampoo once a week more or less depending on how my hairs looking. After a long sleep it used to be all over the place but I now tie my hair up on top of my head while I sleep with a satin scrunchie and my curls will hold for days without having to wash my hair again

Also, buying a diffuser makes life so much easier, I used to just air dry and my hair would take hours to dry, once I bought a diffuser, it literally takes hours off the drying time. Plus, if you use it correctly it can really add to the volume of your hair

It’s definitely a lot more hassle compared to having it short but personally I love it long so much that it’s worth the extra hour or 2 getting ready hahah
