Yeah the red is just perfect. You have the best undertone for it. I grew out henna partially because it didn't agree with my skin tone (especially...

Yay, congratulations! :) I mostly lurk here (with occasional bouts of posting) but I have been following your journey since I joined in late 2018 and...

For one, don't change a lot at once, as you will never know what worked versus what didn't. And it's a real overload on the hair as well. I'll...

Try and melt it and mix it with a "lightweight" oil, like sweet almond. It may help make it smoother in texture and not such a "block" of wax, which...

Oh we are all "guilty". I bet!

Standing in solidarity over here with my 280ppm hard water. At least I can hit my hair with the hard water shampoo every now and then, but my skin is...

This thread is great! I feel kind of reassured by all the folks with beautiful long hair that admit to sometimes being impatient and snapping their...

I stayed a few days at my parents house, and my scalp and hair do so much better with their soft water. One day, when I feel more permanently settled...

Oh so true. Me and my sibling just found boxes of old photos, and since they are older than me there are far less pictures of them. Not due to lack...

Wow. The ingredients are markedly similar. Great find!

Thank you so much! :) Henna is pretty forgiving after the first year, thankfully!

So I was at CVS and I had to look at the shampoo aisle to see what kind of clarifying shampoo I could find, since I just found out Neutrogena...

Oooh! Another anniversary, I always think people who have come through the bleaching journey have so much to share about their experiences than...

Do check the options, and the "whitelist" to see if LHC isn't listed there. I had youtube whitelisted (didn't do a thing to the thing) for some odd...

I've been trying to use shea butter on my ends as a natural conditioner. It may be the brand I'm using, but it leaves a dense waxy feeling on my...

I'm also interested! I have a few which I got as a gift, and want to stop using bottle shampoos because plastic. But the last time I used one it left...

Definitely the best choice.

I don't but it sounds delicious! What is it? Is it a hair mask or a conditioner?

I have never seen a new Silky light lavender in real life or side to side with the old one, but from pictures it looks like the old one might be more...

I don't know if it's my products or technique, but my hair is feeling and looking super greasy after my last wash. Maybe I'll look for a new...

I was just there, now mine is more like APL and WL. And still, a top knot holds all the pieces best. I am resigned to having all my buns have...

Coming here to complain :3 My shortest layers are SL while the rest is midback. It's super annoying because I just cannot wear a bun or braid...

Here's mine that I can't wear right now. :(

What do you use the pumpkin seed oil for? And how do you use it?

I just tried an oat water wash. My hair feels pretty clean. But I'll have to use it a few more times to determine if I like it. I wash every 1-2...

Thanks for sharing your experience! Maybe your skin tone is also quite cool and thus red is contrasting like with me? I've done this once before and...
