Title. Mum did my hair growing up so never worried about it. When I was 14 I learned to do my hair. Could braid my own hair and everything else myself. Now I’m 22. I sisterlocs and I cannot be bothered to do it myself. So I pay £170($240) every 6 weeks for reties. My God do I feel so… after. I’m not complaining about the price really. It’s just… idk. Meanwhile my white coworker pays £40($55) for a haircut every 4 months. What is our equivalent?? Natural hair products cost more than that and take time to detangle, wash and go. I don’t wear wigs but those are expensive too. Braids take time, braiding hair costs add up. Only other alternative is to shave it all off, but been there done that. Plus I prefer having hair lol.

Hiya. I’ll be moving to London at the end of next month for my masters program. I have a strict budget of £1,900/month. Would be split as: £1,100 for rent, £160 for bills (no council tax as I’m a student), £250 for groceries and like skincare, £180 for TfL, £10 for phone plan, £150 for miscellaneous like gym and outing, £50 as emergency buffer.

Would be looking for a one bed or ensuite room in zone 2/3. Would prefer to share with just one other person though. Idk if £1.1k for rent would be enough? Does the budget make sense for London? I don’t know how and if l’ll find a place before mid August. I know to use spareroom, rightmove and the rest but do I need to reach out to agents? I’ll be living with my aunt in Kent while I flat hunt.

Just seeking general advice and tips and would be eternally grateful for any. Thank you for your time!

Title. Hiya, I’m trying to build a routine for my starter locs. Started a bit over a month ago and currently, I wash every two weeks with the Heads and Shoulders itchy scalp shampoo. I like the minty feeling, the lather is soo good even on the first wash, plus it helps keep my dandruff under control. Then, once a month I go in with the OUAI detox shampoo for my first wash, and heads and shoulders second. OUAI is my miracle shampoo as it’s the only thing that’s helped keep my scalp under control in the past 2 years. After washing, I go in with jojoba oil on my scalp and hair.

Now my cousin’s not a fan of the shampoo combo. She says it could be too drying or over cleansing especially the Heads and Shoulders as it contains 2 types of sulfates. I haven’t noticed anything too bad yet but idk. Would you suggest I get a moisturising shampoo? At least to use on the days I use the OUAI detox? Or just keep it as is. I have this belief that locs trap more dirt than loose curls so it needs the deeper clean but idk if that’s true.

Thank you in advance!!

Hiya, I passed my driving test at the start of April and since the address on my provisional license was an old one, I had to do the application myself and update my new address.

Problem is, since I haven’t received my full driving license yet, I did an online enquiry and saw that it was issued on the 17th of April. However, the address on my full license is wrong. The postcode is correct but the house number is wrong. It actually doesn’t exist.

Now I need to get a new licence, but I don’t know if I should contact them and have it sent to my current address, or just leave the entire process as I’ll be moving homes again in less than 2 months. I don’t plan on driving between then anyway and I’m in no rush for my license.
