My hair stopped getting tangled when I wash it when I started to use conditioner. My biggest problem with washing my hair is the fact that having a really dry skin means that my scalp is always very dry and hurts after I wash my hair. The bright side is that my hair stays clean very long and I only have to wash it once a week.Quote:

I don't have split ends and I don't want it to get any thicker as I often look like I am carrying two heads already but your sister might be right; couple of people I have talked to said it is easier to dab some gel etc on the short hair and keep it under control.Quote:

My hairdresser thinks I should wait for another month or two to get it a little bit longer so that I won't look like a toddler who had his first hair cut but it is beginning to annoy me because I end up putting into a messy bun and that gives me a headache after a while.

I got my hair cut real short one time, planning on donating to locks of love, but I never got around to sending out my hair. It's in a plastic bag somewhere. I forgot about it til just now. :blush:
Hahaha. Most places will cut it and send it off for you...at least where I am they do...
Yeah, but I wanted my aunt to cut it.
Oh. okay. It was like home cut...Mkay, I'm on the same page as you now! lol
lol, yeah. sorry I didn't really explain well.
Oh, well.
The deed is done.
Now I have got 2-3 years to think what I have done.

And while now the rest of my face is smooth and soft and my skin is almost flawless: they're still there!
What should I do?
Please help, I'll owe you forever! :bawling:
I think acne and blackheads don't go away till you're 20 something, Baki. Still, my only advice (and the only thing I did) is to see someone about them. Go to a doctor, and he'll give you a proper solution for them. If they didn't go away by normal means, then you need a pro opinion.Quote:

Maybe you can get a professional opinion as to what you should put on these blackheads, as long as the rest of your face is okay. And trust me, it gets better. It might bother you for a year or two, but once you hit 17-18 it's gonna get better without you doing a thing about it. But I still recommend a doctor's opinion, since you already tried many things, both natural and chemical, and none of them worked.Quote:

you could try a mud mask?
I'd suggest pore strips as well... tends to work for me :)
ok, I bought a really cute top that has a few small beads around the collar, the top says to handwash. Wat does that mean? Does that mean the gentle cycle in the washer? or do they really mean wash it in the sink? and how clean can it get in the sink??
My guess is that the little beads are apt to fall off if you put it in the washing machine.Quote:

Since this is method of clothes washing is a real pain in the *** for me, I try not to buy things that have to be handwashed.
My washing machine has a "handwash cycle", I use it to wash my bras which are supposed to be handwashed, and it has worked just fine, no garments destroyed yet :D
Mine too and it seems to be working so far but don't forget to turn it inside out!Quote:

I use the pillow case to clean my trainers in the washing machine too! :p
my sister put a handwash beaded top into the washing machine and washed it on the hand wash setting. The top was almost beadless when it came out.
Ive always found handwashing to work well my only problem with it is things take foreverr and a day to dry becuase I just havent the knack for wringing clothes outr properly.
Oh and Annamariah if the bras are underwired maybe you shoulkd use a pillocase or brabag, my bra broke in the washingmachine and the wire perferated the drum and broke the whole washing machine... lets just say my mum was not a happy bunny that day. :D
hmmm my washing machine is a cheapy that came with the apartment. The first time I washed my bras I put it on what I thought was the gentle cycle and my bras came out a tangled twisted mess.:bawling:
:eek: yikes! talking about having to spend money whe you originally didnt need to!Quote:

Have any of you worn one of these? I’m wearing one now and I may never take it off. It’s fantastic!
^^ It`s not the type I like, but I agree with the color being fascinating :D it`s deceiving
I don`t think I have ever heard of the handwash setting. How is it like? llol is it a hard Q?
The problem is the colour... I cant really tell .
But I have ISSUES that Im not going to bore people with other than to comment Im fairly sure that most bras are either designed by men with no common sense what so ever or people with breasts so small that they never realise that the main point of a bra is support not how aestheticly pleasing they are to the eye... Last year I was wondering around a bra shop and saw that some brightspark thought you could have H cup bra with tiny ribbon straps, now think about that logically for a minute, and I actually know a case of this happening with a brand new bra wit a girl in the larger sizes, that is NOT going to work either you end up with cuts on your shoulders from the straps.... or and this is what happened to the poor person ... you bend over the bra snaps and you end up with half your bra falling out in public.... mortification.
On other bra related matters.... apparantly underwire bras can badly damage breasts in early teens... apparntly you supposed to buy them flexi bras... or nonwired, which for some reason are almost impossible to buy nowadays in the really small sizes. :eek2:
Oh, I have so many complaints about bras that I don't even know where to start.
In the first place, there's not much selection when you get on up there in size. The selections available may or may not be comfortable or they may not go with your clothes. Try finding a strapless in anything beyond a DD. Or a T back. Or a smooth cup for wearing under T-shirts. And why do they have those flimsy straps on bigger bras? They cause permanent grooves to form in the shoulders. And why are the padded straps so ugly? And you're pretty much stuck wearing underwire.
And what if you did want something in a color other than beige or black or white? Try finding a cute bra in a large size. If you find one, it's probably VERY expensive. And where do companies get off charging $60 for a bra that's going to fall apart anyway???
Did you know that the life span of a bra is supposed to be 3-6 months? (this was actually my job once upon a time). Why would you pay $60 bucks for something that's going to last 3 months? But the more bras you have the longer they last, especially if you don't wear the same one everyday. The sweat and body oils break a bra down (that's what they told me in bra training class :lol:). To make a bra last longer, you're supposed to either hand wash it or put it in the washing machine in a pillowcase or a lingerie bag. This keeps the bra from getting all twisted up in the spinner. It also protects the underwire. If you put your bra in the washing machine by itself you'll warp the underwire and it will dig into your skin and cut you.
And Sports Bras...try finding one that fits anyone who is not a member of the itty bitty t**** committee. Enell - $60. Recommended by Oprah. but you have to special order it and the sizes run weird. It works better than the other options out there, if you have the patience to wait for it. And you can't try it on before purchase... If you can't find a sports bra, you just gotta where two or three to go jogging in.
I agree with Shal. I dispise underwires but the non-underwires just don't feel like they have as much support.
my point exactly!Quote:

uh hvent had the problem then again they dont really make that many bras in sizes biigger than a DD or say the most an E , I once went to the specialist lingre shop we have in town and the people ther told me there was no such thing as a size bigger than a DD... eh what? But I have seen Fs with padded cups...why?Quote:

Well humm that might explain a lot... Ive never heard thaparicular phrase shal...:D
Hummm have you tried ...I think Doreen bras nonwired and plenty of support problem is you end up with permenant scars on your waist and hips f you wear them all the time. Mind you I havent been able to find that particular model as were of bra with the long waist for a couple of years...Quote:

what really bugs me are the women that wear the bras that don't fit right, is there anything worse then the bra muffin top?? What's worse is when you happen to look down and realize YOU are sporting the bra muffin top.:blush:
Well, after all day in this thing I can say that it really is comfortable all day long. But I have to add that it offers ZERO support. I think it's a good around the house bra but not if I'm doing chores.Quote:
