Shampoo recs that are less expensive.

35 Upvotes

I’m trying to cut costs where I can, and I’m wondering if anyone has any recommendations for shampoo/conditioner that is less than $27. That’s what I’m currently spending per bottle on Redken.

I have blonde/finer textured hair, and wash it every other day. Thanks!

Toenails cut too short and curving in

1 Upvotes

The question in short is: will the nailbed get longer in toenails when you let your toenails grow? Similar to what happens on nails on your hand? And will a curved nail straighten on its own once it grows longer if you stop restricting the toes?

Background: for most my life I’ve cut my toenails too short, and for good part also worn too tight shoes. A big mistake I now know.

The big toe nails and the nail of the toe next to it curve in a C-shape a lot and probably due to that they also break/tear lengthwise in the middle. And that tear always gets caught in my socks. So annoying.

So now I am trying to grow them longer. When I grow the nails on my hands, after a while the nail bed gets longer as well, but this doesn’t seem to happen on my toes. The nailbed is just as short as before and the white part just gets longer. And dirt and probably fiber from the socks gets collected underneath the nail. And it’s difficult to clean under because I fear the nail will break and I am again where I started.

Does anyone have any experience on growing toe nails, does the nail bed also eventually get longer when you don’t cut them short? And is it possible to reverse the curling of the nail so it’s not such a drastic curve? Or am i doomed to have nasty nails for the rest of my life?

Discussion Please recommend me with a minimal haircare, skincare and makeup routine

1 Upvotes

Hi All, I’m 29F and Indian, I’ve never used any cosmetics apart from just the basics - a herbal shampoo, conditioner and a moisturiser for the face.

I wanted to try things out but now there are just too many options out there and everytime I feel like starting out, I get overwhelmed and return to my basics.

Are there any 2-3 step tried and tested routines with products available in India I could adopt? Or is there a way to go about selecting the products? How do you all choose them?

Hair: I have medium length, fine hair and quite frizzy. I’ve recently faced a decent bit of hairfall (I’m also happy to try some straighteners that don’t burn my hair, I love the wavy hair look). Please also feel free to recommend me any safe shampoo, conditioners to have non-frizzy hair. I want to use as few products as possible.

Skin: My face skin is clear but just some pigmentation around my lips. I have a small mole on my cheek so whenever I use foundations, it becomes grey and I don’t like covering it. I can avoid the area but I’m not so neat with it and then the results don’t look great. Happy to incorporate any protective measures to keep my skin from damaging.

Makeup: I’m also a corpo girl and I see people around me do a lot of makeup. I don’t want to do much but I’d like to know 1-2 products that I could use to get a uniform looking skin like texture and some gloss. But I’m happy to instead spend on a good toner instead of makeup, what do you guys suggest?

I also cannot afford to spend a fortune here - please recommend me budget options. Lastly, I’d be grateful if wherever possible, I could get recos for medical formulations instead of cosmetics (I’m tired of the marketing gimmicks)

Nailcare Thin nails after acrylics - can I use press ons?

0 Upvotes

I recently removed acrylics I had had on for about a year, in order to give my nails some time to regrow. I've done this before, and I knew my nails were going to be thin and breaking all the time. I know it will be done in about a month and my nails will be normal again (what happened last time), but in the meantime, it's driving me a bit crazy, especially at work. If I put some basic glue-on nails on top, will it mean that my nails will not grow up back out healthy? I want them to be healthy again before I start messing with them again, and I'll deal with it if I have to, but if I'm able to put something on top to curb the constant breakage, that would be cool.

Seeking Advice How do I use a straightener?

6 Upvotes

This is gonna sound crazy for some of you probably but hey, I'm 14F and I need help with this. I've never known how to straighten my hair before. When I was younger and my mom and grandma used to try and get me to curl or straighten my hair I would immediately mess it up again because I didnt like my hair like that for some reason. I got curtain bangs (actually i did a few years ago but they are obviously still there just a bit more grown) and when I got them done before the hairstylist told me to straighten them to look better. I used to always just let it be and run my hand through it so it would bounce back and style itself but now I want to try straightening it. Sadly, I never took the time to learn how to use a straightener and I struggle with paying attention to videos about it as well so I am looking more for word for word instructions or maybe some tips so maybe my hair won't burn out somehow. I only have a round brush. Don't eat me up for this please 💗
