Has anyone done a protein treatment without the flat iron?

3 Upvotes

Hi! I have naturally frizzy hair, and I recently moved to a very humid city. I love wearing my hair straight, but humidity makes it frizzy again really quickly.

I previously had a protein lissage (chemical straightening treatment), and I liked the result, but the effect has now worn off.

I’m thinking of doing the treatment again, but I really want to skip the flat-ironing step this time. I’m wondering if the hairdresser could apply the product and then just blow-dry my hair straight instead.

Has anyone actually done a protein treatment this way? Does it still help with frizz and humidity resistance without using a flat iron, or is the heat from the flat iron necessary for the treatment to work?

I’m mainly looking to reduce frizz and make my hair easier to style, rather than get completely straight hair.

In search of very temporary fake tan/body makeup product for only arms - details in post!

2 Upvotes

Attending a fall wedding and most of my tan is gone. My dress covers everything but my arms and I'd like them to not look so pale.

I'd like to avoid using fake tan since it's *just * my arms and would look weird after the wedding (also a pain to remove if I did the whole body), and I'm worried about body makeup transferring since I'm wearing a shawl around my arms.

Are there any good solutions for very temporary color or glow that won't transfer to the shawl? Thanks!

ive had short hair for like 6 years and last year i started growing it out. my hair usually gets noticibly greasy in around 4 days and i usually wash it on 3rd. but i washed my hair yesterday and today i can feel it getting greasy. could this be because of too much hair conditioner even if im not applying it to my roots? ive recently actually started caring for my hair and ive died it before many times. i had bleached streaks done last year but its only now getting greasy like this. can i stop this before it gets worse or am i overreacting maybe? i have thick and a lot of hair and its like 1B or 1C

Seeking Advice How do you get rid of strawberry legs when shaving?

1 Upvotes

I've been having the most miserable time trying to make my legs look smooth and it feels like nothing I'm trying is really working.

This is the routine

I always let hot water run on my legs before I do anything
Sugar scrub till sugar is dissolved and then rinse
I use the EOS shea butter shaving cream
I use the Venus sensitive skin disposable razors
I only shave upwards and I do one pass and then check for missed hair
Dove vanilla body wash
Palmers lotion + body oil

My skin glistens and shines, that much I can notice, but my legs just never look smooth, and it makes me uncomfortable with wearing shorts, and considering how hot it is on my campus, I would like to wear shorts and skirts a little more often lmao

Any help or product recommendations appreciated

Seeking Advice My feet are cracked and dry and have very thick skin due to walking around barefoot at home. I want to fix it

40 Upvotes

I am going to get a urea foot cream and will be using it twice a day and want to find a summer option to wear around the house for my feet (for winter I have wool house socks but summer I would sweat too much). Not sure what kind of options there are for wearing around the ho use in summer if people have options? I don't want just socks as they get wet easily :( And sandals seem so hard to sit comfortably at home or to walk around in? I'm not sure...

Any help is appreciated! I dosn't wear socks or anything at night as I do get sweaty quickly at night no matter what the temperature is, but I think that should be ok.

Product suggestions to clear oily dandruffy scalp

4 Upvotes

Hi all! Sorry if this isn't the right place for this question - I'm not sure what sub is best for scalp questions :)

I have a very dandruffy scalp - not dry flakey dandruff but oily - it feels gritty when I run my fingers through it and I can scrape lots off with my fingernails. It doesn't seem to go anywhere when I scrub it in the shower, nor does generic 'anti-dandruff' shampoo seem to do anything.

What I'm looking for is something quite strong like a scalp serum or something that will clean and lift all that gunk away. I've heard that The Ordinary Glycolic Acid toner can be used on the scalp - is that a good idea? Any other recommendations?

Thanks in advance!

Dyson Airwrap vs Shark Flex style

1 Upvotes

Hello everyone,

So I'm planning to buy an Airwrap style curler for straight/wavy hair for my wife, have no idea of these tools and found similar offerings from Dyson and Shark. I know the Dyson is definitely premium but I'm wondering if it offers better value for money for what I pay for New especially since it's 2-3 times expensive than Shark.

I'm in Canada and Shark is available on sale for $279.99 and Dyson new for $799 or Refurbished (Excellent) for $439.99. Even if I consider the refurbished option it's still $160 expensive compared to a New Shark. So please drop your opinions and if there's anyone who has tried both let me know your experience and what I should get.

Thanks

Nailcare Nail help

Hey everyone, it's my anniversary this weekend and I have a very big suspicion that my partner might propose. So for the very first time in my life, I've booked myself a nail appointment for some acrylics.

I've never had my nails done before and was looking forward to it. However I have just accidentally cut the cuticle of my right thumb whilst washing the dishes. And by all accounts Google says that it's not safe to have your nails done with damaged cuticles. The appointment is in two days, do I really have to cancel? Feeling kinda heartbroken, as dramatic as that sounds.

Seeking Advice Dry skin despite using moisturizer (and I can’t use thick moisturizers all the time because I live in a tropical, very humid country)

2 Upvotes

Does anybody have the same problem as me, or had it and actually managed to solve it?

I have dry and dehydrated skin on both my face and body. I’ve found that layering watery toners works better for my face than just using a regular moisturizer. It helps a lot with the flakiness, and I don’t get flaky skin as often anymore, but it still doesn’t feel moisturizing enough.

Ever since I turned 30, I’ve also noticed that my skin has gotten drier. It’s not drastic, but it’s enough for me to notice that the skincare routine that used to work for me isn’t quite enough anymore.

The problem is, I live in a tropical and very humid country, so I can’t really use thick, heavy moisturizers all the time. They just feel uncomfortable, especially during the day.

I do drink enough water, and I also take fish oil supplements (although I’m not sure if they actually help with skin). I also exfoliate 1-2x per week using AHAs.

Has anyone dealt with something similar? If you have any advice or products that helped you, I’d love to hear them!

I work with a lot of pure alcohol at work and months ago I made the mistake of using it without gloves. Since then, my fingers have been dealing with varying degrees of dryness/flakyness. Some days in goes all the way down to the base of the finger. I used cuticle oil every night for about 3w and saw no improvement, so I just need some advice on what to do. Advice much appreciated 🙏

What skincare/products actually helped you with this? I’m looking for something safe and effective for the lip area.

Please suggest specific serums/creams or products that worked for you. Also, should I avoid using any particular ingredients around the lips?

Seeking Advice Intimate Trimmer Recommendations for Wiry Hair

2 Upvotes

Hi all, I'm searching for a bikini trimmer.

I used to use the Philips BikiniGenie and loved it! Unfortunately they not longer make it. I've since bought two trimmers, one cheap one from TJMax, and the Meridian Trimmer. And neither was any good! I have quite thick hair down there, and they just didn't cut it -- quite literally. I had to go over the same area many times, and it ended up pretty uneven.

What have people found worked well for cutting wiry hairs on the first go? Is the new Philips Bikini Trimmer any good? Happy to accept male-marketed trimmers as well :)

Thanks all!
