Hair care stuff I have not bought, 2023!

[lapushka]

I wonder, if we add a product here but we end up buying it later in the year, do we just cross it out? Or is it the thought at the time that counts?

Anyway, lemme start since I've already checked out some sales...:

Tangle Teezer Wet Detangler Blush Glow Frost [6,20€]
Tangle Teezer Scalp Brush [4,36€]

No, I think just making an annotation will be fine.

I feel a little free, TBH. I don't think I would have felt the same, just cutting back to hip. That I would have regretted. But I just traded in my 2-prong fork for a simple claw clip, and guys, my hair had thinned out from constant bunning (somehow). I mean I feel the difference in tightness now with the simple peacock twist I'm wearing... huge difference. So protective styles be damned! I am attributing it to bunning, could be peri-menopause too, but since the base seems as thick as ever/normal, I think something happened with my hair along the way.

I am happy with it, yes. I also cut a different layered style (ponytails to the side) and that's great. I mean if you guys are on my friends list (I think so), feel free to access my album (private album). I have a few front facing pics there! If not, just ask, I'll 9 out of 10 approve you!

I asked for a friend request, I'm so curious.

I worry about the thinning though, I have my hair in buns all the time, I think it's uncomfortable with my hair loose, flying everywhere.

Anyway, I'm happy that you're happy with your new length. I can imagine that it feels like freedom. Is it also much healthier?

I’ll join this thread

I will definitely join this thread... I need to be stopped when it comes to creams. I just bought something yesterday but NO MORE for the rest of the year

It was healthy to start with, or so I thought, since I was a maintainer, so I basically always cut back to classic, in essence cutting 6 inches on average a year, so it was nice and healthy. I never did odd things to it that I know of. Yes I used a blow dryer, but on (comfortably) warm, and no more. I guess I should have bunned looser than I was doing because at the end of a week, I could feel it, boy could I feel it on my scalp. But the odd thing is, nothing is gone from the base (still over 4 inches), it's in my mid-section to the ends. Can't be peri-menopause either then. I just don't know what gives. And my signature picture... I mean, it's nice & thick, right? But you should see the ponytails I took off. 2 sharpie "thick" pony's. So thin. I just wonder how...

Ooo this is a thread that I can get behind
I can immediately add to my own list, because I was just stocking up on my mousse with a gift card and was intrigued by other products that I don't need and almost caved

Hope you participate. Just keepin' it real you guys. I have a huge hoarding tendency and it's about time I really tackled it.

Oh yes, I have started participating. Ok, it will be real. I also have a hoarding tendency and it's also time to tackle mine as well.

I understand what you say about the length and regret, I think I would react the same. I've also read posts on the other thread. This your situation makes me rethinking about the protective styles I use!
Your new cut looks fine, it encouraged the waves, isn't it?

[Joyful Mystery]

^Yes, lapushka’s experience makes you rethink protective hairstyles. I’m happy you’re happy with your new cut lapushka! It looks fantastic
