Frizz Diaries (3)

I am kind of excited! So today my hair was kind of a flop. It was okay but just wasn’t there. My curls are getting more defined the more I take care of them but they are still :/  Today I got ready for bed with a shower which included the normal wash and conditioner. Then I put curling cream and gel in my hair and raked it through. I did minimal scrunching and for some reason I decided against plopping my hair. It probably was because I had gone downstairs to watch a show. Anyways, going to bed and I already see my curls drying. Big and beautiful. If only I did this in the morning! Hopefully they can last till then!

Frizz Diaries (2): Routine

My current attempt at a hair routine is still building and I am trying to figure out what works. I watched a lot of videos and am seeing a few trends on what everyone is doing. Based on what I see, I think my hair is a mix of 3a and 2b aka its a #mess. However, I feel like I will get a better idea what my hair is if I keep at it. Below is what I do currently in the evenings. 

After a shower:

1. I put in leave in conditioner and rake it through my hair with a comb. 

2. I put in curling cream and rake with a comb. I scrunch my hair. 

3. I put in a gel and rake with a comb. Scrunch my hair

3. Plop my hair for 20+ minutes. 

4. Massage the roots lightly then wrap it to go to bed. 

Upon waking up, I spritz it with curl revive and massage a bit to get it where I want it. 

Results are :/ 

I really like my large curls that I get naturally when I fall asleep with wet hair. When I started trying to treat my hair they turn into small waves or are misformed. I might try not scrunching as much and see if that helps keep them together.

Frizz Diaries (1)

So, this is a kind of experiment. I wanted to document what I was doing so that I can see how far my journey takes me and my chaotic frizzy hair.  Consider this a type of memoir on my hair.

All my life I had frizzy hair. Now, granted I wasn’t really the hair and nails type girl so the effort I was putting in was... subpar. However, even when I really tried to get my hair together it was a disaster. I brushed, straightened, brushed again, and within a few minutes it would poof up again into flyaway frizz. My mother was very upset that I couldn’t keep my hair tamed. Some days I really really tried just to have my hair explode again the instant I stepped out of the bathroom. On those days the comments hurt worst because I had really put the effort in and northing could be done.

I resorted to the messy bun life where my hair would never be seen down. The instant I got up in the morning I would throw it up in a bun and it would stay like that till the end of eternity. You can’t be frizzy if you just ignore it. 

It went on like that till one Christmas I opened a present from my aunt to see a box filled with shampoos and hair gels. Internally I was like, “here we go again, another attempt to tame the untameable”. I honestly forgot where I put my flat iron at that point. I was very grateful for the gift but I was even more grateful for what my aunt said next. 

“You have curly hair”

That was something I heard before but it was more of a point to call out my frizz. However, my aunt was 100% serious. The shampoos and gels she gave me were strictly for curly hair. She even got me a wide toothed comb. She told me I had curly hair. She didn’t berate me or call it frizzy, she just told me that maybe I needed to try taking care of it differently. 

I was grateful but I didn’t fully believe it till I went to bed after a shower and woke up with three giant Shirley Temple curls on my head. She was right. 

Now I am trying to take care of my curly hair starting off with knowing nothing about it. I just want to document where this takes me and hopefully I get to like my hair more and more.

the sheer offensiveness of rereading something you wrote, discovering that, hey, it’s actually pretty good, and then reaching the end, wherein you realize that if you want more you actually have to write it

writers will look at their own WIPs and be like “is anyone gonna finish that” and then close the tab

I know I'm Asexual but like there's always that second guessing aspect to it. Am I really asexual? Maybe I'm confusing sexual attraction for something else? Etc. These questions roll around all the time but they promptly stop when I remember that until junior year of highschool I thought sex was just for baby making and couldnt comprehend the idea that someone could "accidentally" sleep with someone. If they weren't trying to make a baby what were they doing it for?

When I think of that experience I'm like nope yeah my dumbass is definitely 100% asexual.

Still don't understand what goes on when someone just decides to have sex with someone but I now know it's for more than making babies.

Summing up my experience as a biromantic asexual: I have all the emotions but literally no fuck to give.

[space-inskater]

Have my 10gal set up and cycled. Just need a better powerstrip and 1 more hiding spot (always like to keep at least 3 good hiding spots per tank for my Bettas). Hopefully I can get Overlord and move him in soon.

I realize most people don't believe I am asexual because 1) I am confident and 2) my dark sense of humor is sometimes sexually twisted. I have come out to a lot of people and I can count on one hand the number of people who believed me. Most other people thought I was confused or pulling their leg even if they believe asexuality is a thing. You don't have to be shy and prude to be asexual! I have had better understanding coming out to a wall than most people.

boss told me it was "my turn" to name the bettas

this naturally was a huge mistake

I've made it my mission to slowly replace the remaining "normal" names

I feed Mr. Bananapants Fluval bugbites because he refuses to eat Betta pellets. He acts like his mouth is too small and spits the pellets back out. I even try softening them or crushing them but no. So I got Fluval bugbites for small fish because you literally can't go smaller and he loves it. However, I recently saw they had a Betta formula and I was like oh, that's better because that is actually made for Bettas. Nope. No. Doesn't eat it. He learned my feeding pattern. He knows I put the Betta bugbites in first then the small bites in for the tetra. He just swims around pretending to eat the Betta food before the tetra food goes in. Bananapants is a small little picky bastard.
