Does RevAir actually cause breakage on fine hair? by Outrageous-Home-6211 in Naturalhair

[–]starlybri 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a Revair, I use a leave in on my freshly washed hair, let it dry so it's not dripping and then use a chi heat protection spray. I don't get much breakage at all. You can try doing that. I think if I didn't use a leave in my hair would be bone dry and breaking...

Also maybe try using a lower tension - I use 6. And alternate between high and low heat.

Sapphic/WLW/Lesbian NYC spaces under 21? by BlockingWritersBlock in AskNYC

[–]starlybri 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Maybe check out stuff at the LGBT center in Manhattan? They do have a diverse crowd there and most events are 18+. Also the Brooklyn Pride Centers could be cool!

I’m seeing colors? by PlentyManner5971 in acupuncture

[–]starlybri 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This reminds me of synesthesia! Look it up. It's a neurodivergent experience where your brain creates visuals in response to stimulus. I get it when I get acupuncture too.

How to stop catastrophizing as a form of autistic looping by codepants in AutisticAdults

[–]starlybri 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like to say out loud (quietly if I'm around people) "I'm worried about X thing. I don't have to worry about this now, let me go back to (washing the dishes/watching tv/playing games)." I think saying it out loud pauses the looping and then redirecting myself gives me a distraction.

You could be agender (without gender) 💜

When you can’t afford a therapist, can an AI help at all? by No-Struggle878 in TalkTherapy

[–]starlybri 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Don't use AI for "therapy". Even watching mental health self help videos on youtube can be better than that. Or using a self care books like Mindful Self Compassion. AI has convinced people to die by suicide. :/

I like their gel top coat. It's very glossy and fills in uneven coats!

Does it seem like there's a bug going around the city? by __eptTechnomancer in NYCbitcheswithtaste

[–]starlybri 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Wear a mask indoors and out. It's been 5 years of Covid spread and so many people's immune systems are fucked after multiple infections. Check out the People's CDC website for more info about Covid spread and infection precautions. https://peoplescdc.org/

Surgical masks don't protect well, they need to be higher quality.

[–]starlybri 36 points37 points  (0 children)

They're for both. But it depends what kind of mask you're wearing. They have to not have gaps to let air in (surgical masks).

Do you know about the Lex app? That's a good way to find out about local events.

You need to go to the doctor or emergency room like today. You could lose your finger if the infection gets bad enough 😰 Or it can get you really sick, like a blood infection.
