This whole thing is grotesque, and doubly grotesque in how utterly unsurprising it is.

I was thinking the realistic kind of prosthetics, like Goldie Hawn in Death Becomes Her, “pre-transformation”...

Fuck politeness, especially for nosy, pushy trump supporters. Christ, haven’t they done enough interfering?

I’ve always loved kids, but I realized fairly early on that I wasn’t good mother material — I have a quick temper and a ridiculously low tolerance for frustration, and both those things are greatly exacerbated by lack of sleep. I grew up with a stepfather with similar qualities, and I got a firsthand view of just how…

Sorry, I must have had a brain fart when I saw this because though I meant to do it I totally forgot to give you a link to the perfect people and site to answer allll your hair growing questions. Don’t be put off by the knee length hair of some members, they give solid hair care advice that’ll be useful to you even if…

I’ll admit, I was super into historical dolls as a kid. I read the American Girl Doll catalog with the attention of a Talmudic scholar, but it was too expensive for my family. My best friend got Samantha’s art kit, which included miniature tubes of oil paint, tiny paintbrushes, and some kind of wooden case. We…

I feel you on Leap! Apparently, it was an American re-release of a (French-Canadian?) film, which I think is why the voice work feels clunky and disconnected (not accounting for the actual bad acting/writing). But, the fact that in the 1800s the lead is wearing rolled denim shorts and leggings drove me NUTS. Also (and…

Fuck politeness, as my favorite podcast hosts say! SSDGM

That’s Extremely Worrying: The US School System

It’s bullshit. I’m not a hairstylist. However, a few years ago I got my hair cut to chin length from butt length. I wanted healthier hair and asked my hairstylist what to do to keep it long and healthy. She said trimming only helps b/c it cuts down on split ends, which make the hair more breakable. But, frequent…

You only need to trim your hair if it is damaged. I trim my hair maybe twice a year. People are always astonished about the length. ‘How did you get your hair so long?!!?’ ‘I simply don’t cut it!??!’ Unless you have some kind of ongoing issue with your hair (breakage, hair-loss etc), letting it grow requires little to…

Your hair will grow at the same same rate with or without regular trims but unhealthy ends break off making it seem like it’s not growing. With regular trims you can get away with just “dusting” your ends and you’ll get to keep more length.

Don’t believe them! They just want your money! I speak from experience. I used to have hair just past my waist, and I’d constantly get asked how I got it so long. I only trimmed it once a year- well, I had my mom do it because stylists ALWAYS cut too much, regardless of what you tell them. I never heat styled it, so…

I tend to get super stressed if anyone touches my hair, never mind cutting it, so I last had it cut April 20th last year, and before that it hadn’t been cut for three years. It’s in fantastic condition, all I do is wash it at night and towel dry most of the way, and let it airdry the rest of the way, then brush the…

Try taking a b vitamin complex. Active forms only (seriously), extended release preferable (I like Jigsaw brand’s ). Take it daily, and you should see an uptick in growth, lengthwise and density-wise within a month or two.

I’m gonna echo everyone else. Those stylists are full of it. Trims every 6-8 weeks are helpful only if you’re looking to keep a style from growing out.

Unless you have split ends that propagate up the hair shaft, the frequent trims won’t do anything other than help remove layers. My hair grows super slow too and for way too many years I had stylists who thought “just a trim” meant 4". Ugh! Now I have a stylist who listens and my hair is growing faster thanks to…

Have you ever tried taking biotin? It helps hair grow faster, and it makes nails stronger too. Find it in the vitamin aisle or on Amazon.

My stylist told me trimming does not encourage growth. It’s based on genetics.

Yeah, that’s nonsense. My hair grows slowly enough that trims every 8 weeks would have me bald in under three years.
