Please explain! You won’t gain fat as long as you’re under calorie maintenance/not doing surplus?

So today i read that it doesnt matter how much fat i eat as long as i’m NOT eating more calories than my maintenance aka doing a surplus. All this time i was trying to look out for the least amount of fat because i thought it will go into my body hence i’ll gain fat. I don’t want to gain more belly fat so pls only comment when you’re 100% sure 🥲

So how does that not work but you can gain muscles while being on maintenance (body recomposition).

I may sound so slow im sorry 😭 Please any genuine comment :) im so thankful

My first strand on each side & the hair beneath it have become porous. Why and how can i fix it?

So since years i‘ve had an issue with having a porous crown but it has gotten much better now. Recently, just recently i‘ve noticed that just my first strand on each side have gotten porous/rough/undefined/dry and i don‘t know why because i‘ve been treating them like the rest. The hair beneath too it looks bushy

When i style my hair it loses definition so fast JUST LIKE WITH MY CROWN BACK THEN.
And no, they don’t get wet when i wash my face.

Now i‘m using in travel size
Bali Curls - Nourishing Shampoo.
Bali Curls - Moisturizing Conditioner

I’m still looking for the perfect Shampoo & Conditioner but Summer 2025 - recently:
Bounce Curls - Pure Silk Moisturizing Shampoo
Bounce Curls - Super Smooth Cream Conditioner

For gel:
Eco - Flaxseed
Doesnt give me good definition & doesnt elongate, for example Xtreme Gel is better.
I’m also looking for my grail because i lose my definition so fast. I‘ll look for anti humectant gels or maybe its my styling lol i don‘t seperate but i make sure it gets through every strand.

I wear a bonnet & air dry.

Please help
