Re: Beauty Randoms Thread
I have to trim my hair with the hair shears out of the dog grooming kit because I misplaced my hair shears. Ironically the kit shears for the dog are higher quality than the ones I bought for me, so it works out. Budget protip- if you have a puppers get a $40 grooming kit & share the equipment. lol

I intend to try castor oil and see if that helps, as it has only grown back slightly even though I've been more careful with it for years now.
Any updates on if the castor oil helped? My hair is thinning a bit from stress and hormonal issues and I'm trying to figure out a good way to help stop it. I got bangs and I'm blonde which disguises it but I'd rather not end up bald headed.
Re: Beauty Randoms Thread
Try this:http://retress.com^
It's made by a female Dermo Dr., who had hair loss probs. They also sell it @ Sephora
Edit: try a scalp oil too, w/herbs: rosemary, peppermint, Living Libations is in Canada, I'm going to get the one they have.
Also try from Sally's Beauty, African Pride brand, braid spray, it's very refreshing w/herbs, I love it. http://www.sallybeauty.com/braid-she...+spray&start=2

Aww. Thanks, I read about this stuff all the time, lol.
Re: Beauty Randoms Thread
I bought the Carli Bybel eyeshadow/highlighter palette from BH cosmetics, and I'm super impressed with it. Very pigmented and easy to use for both day looks and dramatic looks. Just ordered the nude blush palette, some brushes, and the galaxy chic eyeshadow palette from them. They have a promotional discount going on right now with the code GLAM in case anyone is interested!

OMG, yes!
I just placed an order last night, http://www.netaporter.com
I ordered a night conditioner (you wash out in the morn, or not ) & a serum.
It's by a Swedish co & I love Swedish products..
I also got a special powered supplement, you mix in water or juice, they have several types for specific hair or skin needs.
A lot of stuff I've tried lately hasn't worked but I feel good about this, free shipping regardless of order size!:)
Re: Beauty Randoms Thread
I use argan oil spray on my hair, and comb with a bamboo comb, and brush with a boar bristle brush. I drastically cut down on using a blow dryer on my hair. Blow dryers damage and dry out your hair. The other night, my hair looked better than it had in ages. I used Nioxin conditioner, blow dried my hair using the bamboo comb (I had to use the blow dryer because I was in a rush and didn't have time to let it air dry), then I sprayed my hair with the argan oil & brushed with the boar bristle brush, and wow. My hair was flawless.
Re: Beauty Randoms Thread
Anyone try Jason's Restorative Biotin Conditioner?

Um, I can't say because I haven't stuck to a regular regime of using it, sorry! I still have a 3/4 full bottle somewhere in the bathroom...😕

Re: Beauty Randoms Thread
If anyone is trying to grow their hair, Viviscal+rosemary oil works wonders!
Re: Beauty Randoms Thread
Does it have iron in tho?
Re: Beauty Randoms Thread
Hmmm I am beginning to wonder about the actual cause of asymmetry I have with my implants. I have one boob that is saggier than the other(the left), multiple surgeries by different doctors have not fixed it. I always assumed it was capsular contracture even though I don't have the symptoms(I have had no hardness or pain or shape-changing) but I am developing another theory. I have been digging around and I notice that I feel what I assume is the pec muscle on the right higher implant, I don't feel it on the left. It's hard to describe but it feels like a thick fiber that runs vertically over the area where my chest turns into my boob, and you can see it too; in that area to the side where the armpit turns into the implant I can see that on the right side it is shorter and thicker than it is on the left side with the saggier boob. I am thinking that the pec muscle on the right side is a lot tighter than the left side, which would make sense because even though I am left-handed when I write I do everything else with my right side and when I work out my right arm and chest are significantly stronger than the left sides.
My last surgeon thought the higher side was the better one and that the saggy one was the issue, I actually like the saggier one lol. I would like to stretch the right pec muscle and see if that would make that implant get saggier, however I've been trying and I don't think it's able to be stretched properly because that muscle has been cut in 2 and is no longer attached at the bottom. Maybe I should try to develop the left pec more and see if it raises the saggier one at all.

I gonna tell you my story. I saw asymmetry in myself when i looked from top to down. I saw that left side was rotated a lil bit, also I have noticed that right leg was rotated on right not so much that but somehow I felt it should be right. I found therapist localy who does "structural integration" he improves posture. Originally I went there, because I had pain in my neck. Well neck pain was just a smallest problem thought.
He found out that torso does not move anymore, yes it was doing some movement but because my back compensated by using another muscle which should do another job. Some muscles trapped my lungs when he freed my lungs my voice changed I naturally have a deeper inhale now. he fixed rotation in my leg.
I'm still going 2 times per month for adjustment because I have other problem I want to improve.
In your case you must go true the similar therapy because you have increased the weight by adding boobs. If you had a trauma your body will try to compensate which will cause asymmetry. In fact many people do not realise but when you add boobs, even hair extensions. Your nerve system is not really for that added weight which may cause long term problems.
Re: Beauty Randoms Thread
^^That is very interesting to me, especially because I am really into kinesiology and in creating and maintaining structural integrity. I am someone who has a lot of imbalances and even my orthodontist(who has a holistic approach) said my body is tilted to the right.
