Hi to all my beautiful ladies of the subreddit. This is another post of mine. I hope you guys can give me your answers and your advice. So, I have been hearing a lot of talk from girls with long hair that you should only be cutting your hair twice a year at most for it to grow long and healthy, and that you should not be getting trims every three months or every two months depending on how much your hair needs it. Is this true? Is this genuinely true?

Because from my experience as someone with curly hair that's also facing a lot of dryness at the moment, I'm trying to figure out why, I get split ends. Not as much as I used to in the past two years, but I still very much get them, and there is still a bit of damage in my hair that I'm slowly trying to cut off because I don't really want to do a big chop.

So, should I cut my hair only twice a year, or should I continue with me cutting it every two months or every three months depending on how my hair needs it? The thing is, I used to do this two years back. I did not cut my hair often. I used to cut my hair only like every five months or every six months. But I noticed that my hair gets very, very tangly at the ends. Like when I'm trying to take the tangle out, instead of it coming out normally, it just ends up getting tangled at the ends even worse, and it breaks off.

So, I wanna know your perspective, and I wanna know how much do you cut your hair. And should I just do it only two times in a year, or should I just continue until I take all of the damage off and my hair does not have any more split ends? Thank you so much for reading this post. If it's a little bit uncohesive, my first language is not English, so sorry if there's any typos or any misunderstandings.

Hi everyone, this is another post because this subreddit has been helping me a lot. Now, I want to ask a main question that has been basically the toughest thing in my hair journey to grow out my hair. My hair is dry. That is the biggest issue I have in my hair. I don't know what to do anymore. My last option is to go to a doctor, someone that specializes in like hair stuff. I don't know what it's called. And maybe have the doctor check it and see if they can give me a solution. But I decided to come here to maybe know if one of you have dealt with dry hair for years. So basically, I have been dealing with very dry hair for the past three years. I don't know what to do about it anymore. I have done hair masks. I put them on my hair for a very long time, like 30 minutes, and also leave the conditioner on my hair. I have switched from routine to routine. My new routine is definitely like better, but still my hair is dry. And the biggest reasons why I want to get rid of my dry hair is because it keeps breaking off. Because of how dry it is, it cannot maintain the length. And I want to grow out my hair. I want to have waist-length hair. And because of how dry it is, it continues to break off. I genuinely don't know what to do about it anymore. I'm very tired and very frustrated. And maybe you guys can help me out. Any tips if someone has experienced having very dry hair for a very long time? Any advice would be just appreciated. I will take anything at this point. I just, I'm so tired of me buying so much stuff, and in the end, I just only see a tiny bit of improvement. It's like my hair, whatever I do, it just doesn't want to hold moisture. I'm so frustrated, and I don't know what to genuinely do anymore.

Hi to all my beautiful ladies in this subreddit. This is my first time posting on this subreddit and I need your help badly. For three years, I have been trying to grow my hair out. For two years straight, I did not know why my hair was not growing. It stayed at the same length even though I did everything right. But this year, I found out that I was not really doing everything right in these past two years. There were some things that I was doing wrong like sleeping with my hair wet and just not really putting it in a protective style and not using oils. But I have been doing that for the past six months. As well, I have changed my whole entire routine, my shampoo, my conditioner, everything. I've basically gotten a whole entire new routine. It is working, but I feel like it's still not enough I've been also doing protective styles, braids, a loose bun, sleeping with a bonnet before I go to bed. putting oil at my ends. It's not really oil, it's more of a hair serum. still I am dealing with split ends and breakage. Not as much as before, but I am still dealing with it. So I have been dealing with dryness in my hair. I don't know if that's what's causing the split ends or the dry hair has nothing to do with it. Now, I have naturally curly hair, and there, there's been a lot of people who are telling me, oh, curly hair is naturally just dry. So I have come here to ask for your help. Is there anything you could recommend me? Is there anybody that has gone through the same thing I'm going through right now? I truly don't know what to do. I'm thinking of maybe changing my routine again, or changing a couple of products in my routine, maybe the hair mask or the leave-in conditioner. I'm just like so tired. Like I'm trying my best, and I feel like I'm still not doing enough. I'm trying to do my best with the resources that are available to me. So I've come here to ask for your help, and I hope that you can help me. Any advice would be appreciated, even if it's just a little advice. Thank you for reading my post. Any advice would be deeply appreciated.

Edit to add. Just wanted to clarify a little bit more so you can get a better picture. I wash my hair about once a week. And most of the products I use are from L'Oreal. Like L'Oreal Dream Long, and the L'Oreal Pure Ever Fine Gloss. And I trim my hair and every two months. Sorry if my English is not that good, it's not my first language.

Hey y'all, it's me again. It's been a while, I know, but finals exam and not really had the time to post on the subreddit. But today I have a discussion to discuss with y'all. Why do some non-Muslims really defend the hijab with their forks and spears? Why do they refuse to acknowledge that the hijab is a form of oppression? It is not a choice. It's never been a choice because it is mandatory for you to wear it.

You have to wear the hijab. And if you know the Islamic history and know the history behind the hijab, you would realize that it has always been a form of oppression. It's never been a choice. And the logic that most of them use is, oh, but some women choose to wear it.

You said some, but the majority do not choose to wear it. Most women who live in the West do have the choice to wear the hijab or not. But majority of Muslim women do not have that choice. The problem is that they think, they genuinely think that every Muslim woman has the choice to wear it or not, when in reality the big majority do not have that choice.

As someone who lives in a third world country that is an Islamic country, you are literally looked down upon if you do not wear it. You are less respected, less valued as a human fucking being if you do not wear it. That's the problem. They think just because a small group of people have the choice to wear that, doesn't make it an oppressive piece of clothing.

No, it is still an oppressive thing. The hijab oppresses women every single day. There are girls who are forced to wear it, forced to hide themselves, forced to be something that they are not. And they are terrified to take it off because if they take it off, their families might hurt them. It makes me so angry because I see this every single day. I know women who have been forced to wear the hijab by their families. I know them. I have talked to them. And the way some non-Muslims defend it and say that it's not an oppressive thing and that it doesn't oppress women, it does! It does oppress women every single day.

You can't say that it's not oppressive. It is literally oppressive. It mind-boggles me how you can call yourself a feminist and yet support the hijab. Literally used every single day of a Muslim girl's life to oppress her, to make her feel small, to make her hate herself, to make her not want to see her beauty, that her beauty should be only seen by a man, by her husband.

Just because some Muslim women actually had the choice to choose to wear it or not, does not mean that it's not an oppressive piece of cloth. I'm sorry if I came out a little angry in this post, but I see this every single day. I see some of my friends being forced to wear it when they clearly do not want to. And it hurts me. It really does. Because unlike me, they don't have the choice. Their families are forcing them to wear it. Now I come from a less stricter household and a mother who was very much against the hijab and she never wanted me to wear it. And she always gave me the choice to wear it or not. But just because I had the choice, Doesn't mean that every woman had the choice Hijab is not a form of liberation, and it will never be a form of liberation. It always will be a form of oppression for every single Muslim girl.

Just because a small majority of people had the choice to not wear it or wear it does not make it a liberating thing. It is still a form of oppression that harms Muslim women and little girls every single day.

Hey guys, I'm very new to this community and the subliminals thing. And I'm very much interested in it to get good grades and to pass my finals. I want to know, is it better for me to make my own subliminals or to listen to other people's subliminals? And what are safe channels to listen to subliminals to? Because I've been seeing people say that some subliminals have bad intentions in them and that you should be careful to what subliminals you're going to listen to if you're going to listen from others. So please do give me advice because I do not know much about subliminals. I did do one subliminal on my own, but I don't know if I like did it right or not. So please share your advice. And also, if you know a channel that does good subliminals and you have genuinely got results from it and not bad things happen to you, do tell me.🫶🏼🤍
