I’m really scared of split ends and really good at getting products for cheap in 2024 so it’s perfect for me.

I prefer to wear my hair long, but can’t resist the siren call of a drastic chop— when it gets to shoulder length/starts to brush my collarbones, I tend to clip it up. Claw clips and banana clips are good and are better for breakage than hair ties— if you like the look of simple twists try a french pin; I use a heatless curl rod at night, it’s easy to use and keeps my hair from brushing my neck/getting in my face while I sleep; sometimes I use Vegamour’s growth serum around my roots, and I stretch wash days by using dpHue ACV rinse— I tend to shampoo every 4-5 days, and use ACV in between if I need it (this is also because I don’t style my hair with a lot of products, but if you prefer to style with product or have wavy hair, you may shampoo more often and prefer a clarifying shampoo); and I use Prose shampoo and conditioner— it’s a splurge, but I like that it accounts for environmental factors and hardwater, and a bottle lasts 6-8 weeks for me. And take iron, biotin, and a prenatal multivit— it’s just extra vitamins, and if you menstruate you lose more of those.

I used to be a blunt cut bob girlie but have changed my ways the last two years,
Protein & Moisture; super important, these two helped w strength & retention
protein treatment every 6 weeks followed by deep conditioner same day, hair mask once a week (something w NO protein!! just moisturizing)
Reducing heat and manipulation; heat style twice a week maximum if you can help it with the help of good heat protection (NO OIL PROTECTANTS!!! Kenra professional has my fave products - the blow out spray is amazing & worth its price) use sleep styles to protect your hair (im curly but do a blowout once a week- I maintain it by using a oversized pillow scrunchie at the top of my head pineapple style and my hair wrapped around the actual scrunchie- play around with it & how you sleep + how you want it styled in the morning + make sure that your hairline isn’t getting tugged around) itll prevent damage from heat constantly, friction from sleeping and i promise will make mornings way easier.
Scalp care: Rosemary oil will be your best friend!! Studies came out that it’s similar to 2.5% minoxidil - which is a OTC hair loss treatment. Mix oil of choice w dried rosemary (add dried buckroot & mint if you wanna get fancy, olive oil and jojoba havent steered me wrong yet!!) I like to do a cold infusion which can take two weeks but it’s cheaper and I know what’s going on my scalp. Put it on your scalp and massage for a few minutes, leave on for a few hours but if you want you can overnight, use a clarifying shampoo & follow up with protein/moisture depending on where you are in the cycle!
Taking care of my scalp, reducing hair & tbh- taking a solid multivitamin helped me a lot!
Products I luvvvvv;

Satin pillowcase & oversized scrunchie (you can find these on Amazon or Ulta! They will be life changers….)

Space music 4EVA. Insane. Have to listen every day for peace of mind and hope for music. It’s crazy bc these are both side projects from porter robinson & blink 182 respectively which only increases my love for them.

My feet always get cold in the middle of the night so it’s a must esp since I still haven’t gotten my in-unit out

By far the best expansion pack in all of the Sims. I love the island itself and the fact that you can live on a working house boat. I also always cheat myself money so I can open a fancy resort. The best part though is becoming a mermaid and finding lost islands to build all your mansions on.
