i have a very dry scalp and its been like that for 2 years now all of the sudden. my scalp barely produces oils anymore even though i started to eat much better and including more healthy fats into my diet.
everytime i comb my hair or run my hands through my scalp i just feel a burned scalp sensation even though i haven’t burned my scalp. it feels very tender and it hurts excessively when i slightly pull a strand of hair.

due to my dry scalp my hair changed texture for the worse. it became dark black (my natural hair color is light brown), very thick like wires, dry, lots of breakage, doesn’t hold a curl nor absorbs water that well. basically damaged hair and i suspect it’s because of my very dry scalp.

i don’t really have bad dandruff but it’s a bit flakey like normal i guess.

any recommendations for a shampoo for my problem?

i was so looking forward to purchase the bundle and now finding out that i need to pay monthly for that bundle instead of owning it. genuinely so upset.
i hate how everything is based on subscriptions instead of owning. i totally missed my chance here.

is it possible to get a second hand bundle from someone who has already bought it?

3 years ago I graduated highschool and decided to take a gap year. But then circumstances came in the way and I never got to go to college and was unable to do something useful because the circumstances wouldn’t let me (personal reasons), either ways something was in the way preventing me from progressing in life.

3 years later (now), the circumstances are still the exact same and i’m basically almost living the same day everyday but I tried doing things like going to the gym, film content, etc..however I simply can not use my brain to put in effort or just put in effort into something. I was consistent at the gym but filming content seems to be hard for my brain especially with all the planning and consistency even though that’s what i want to pursue as for now to make money. My brain has become so soft that I can’t seem to read, watch movies while paying attention to what i’m watching. As well as crocheting, im a beginner but my brain gives up before even trying to be good at it.

it got to a point where when i was looking for a remote job online and I couldn’t even bring myself to make a new resumè, not because i didn’t want to or couldn’t, it’s because I just didn’t want to put the effort in and i actually caught myself thinking this way. I asked myself “why don’t I wanna put effort in this, i have to do it”.

i don’t know how to get the drive and the smart brain i used to have back. If i went to college right now, i would fail every class because of how soft my brain has become and it’s unable to genuinely focus on anything. i was never like this and i want to get my old self back but even putting effort in that is SO damn hard.

i always dream about being something i’ve wanted to become for so long and i fantasize about the success and it gets me excited but not for long. i find it so hard to begin and to DO that thing.

i find that i give up and never put in the effort in something i want to do because it seems difficult which of course is difficult in the beginning and my brain does not want to go through that and unfortunately im very aware of that but i’m still self sabotaging and can’t seem to get out of it.

i want to become successful and in order to do that i need to put in effort into what i have to do in order to get there but that effort is so hard to DO that my brain just gives up and it seems like i don’t want it enough but it’s all i want in life.

i don’t know how to change this habit, does anyone have advice, and are you also experiencing the same thing?

i never worked in my entire life and im 21 now and im so terrified of getting a job.

i think the main reason i’m scared to get a job is because a company is relying on me and i’m scared of letting them down or doing a mistake, or getting yelled at for doing a terrible job. i’m also an introvert so communicating is so difficult for me. I also dont want it to take over my entire life and leave me tired and too busy to focus on other things.

i’m not sure where to start and how to get over my fears!! it’s really embarrassing but i need serious help about getting over it.

i crocheted for an entire month or so in an era of my life and i learned the basics. i noticed that fillet crochet requires only basic skills but ive heard that it takes a VERY long time and as someone who is very busy i don’t know if i’ll be able to do it but i really want to start a small business and have a side hustle.

what do you think? should i do it? let me know your advice.

so back in end of 2023- beginning of 2024 i had an eating disorder that led to my hair falling out rapidly. i had very very thin hair but the texture was amazing! i also found out i had low iron so i started taking iron pills and my hair grew rapidly but the texture did not feel healthy.

the strand of hair was VERY thick, DARK black in color, VERY dry, wouldn’t absorb water, Kinky and was the texture of the condition of “pili torti”. at the time my scalp was very very sore and tender and it hurt so bad i could barely brush it or touch it.

now my hair is slowly getting better and some parts of my scalp is producing the original healthy texture of my hair.

However, most of my scalp is still sore and tender especially the right side of my scalp and the texture remains the same (unhealthy). there are no signs of rashes or red patches, i have dandruff but i’ve always had that even when my scalp was healthy.

I haven’t seen a doctor yet because i can’t afford to, i just wanted to ask what seems to be the problem? is it a scalp infection, internal problems, hormones? what could it be?

i really hope i get some answers on here!

i used to have all icloud notes option in my note app but after my phone deleted all my notes due to lack of storage i dont have it anymore even after off-loading it and downloading again.

the note app is synced to my icloud, the toggle is switched on.

how do i fix this?

i don’t have any drafts in my tiktok acc, i have saved tiktoks, likes and audios. i don’t understand what it’s actually backing up!! i want to back up my phone again but i don’t have enough storage and tiktok is taking 40% of my back up storage.

what will happen to tiktok if i switch it off?

i’m not hearing much news about it and it seems to not be a big deal in egypt. I’m not in egypt but i do make music and i’m wondering if getting an invitation is delusionaly possible?

I really would love to attend and knowing that it’s somewhere i can finally travel to makes me not wanna miss the entire thing.

let me know if it’s even possible lol

everyone says to ”read” the tutorial for ableton from their guide but im a visual learner and a step by step learner so i really want to SEE what is going on rather than just reading it on a paper.

Which youtube channel / videos do you recommend for a detailed guide on ableton for beginners?

i keep repeating the same patterns again and again. i get upset but i dont want the other person to know i’m upset and i lose my appetite and they tell me to eat but i refuse to eat and say i’ll just eat later but they think that i’m refusing to eat cuz i’m restricting myself but im not i just lost my appetite then they get upset cuz i’m refusing to listen to them and tell me that i’ve changed because i was fine just now but i was just pretending or distracting myself the entire time.

this happens every single time and i end up upsetting other people and i don’t even mean to upset them and it just always happens and now im upset from soemthing else and from upsetting this person.

at this point i don’t know what to do i think i’m the problem and that i’m just a horrible and selfish person

ive always been into music and singing and performing but i only ever did that in school, i was in a band and a choir group but we weren’t good either.

i graduated school a couple years ago and i wanted to major in music but couldn’t afford university and due to other circumstances.

i was told by everyone that ”you don’t need to major in music to make music“ and they are right but as someone who doesn't know how to play instruments well enough, produce music, no connections, has a mid voice..i felt like that was the best option to improve.

i noticed most artists who made it never really went to college for music and it left me clueless with the steps i’m supposed to take now especially after i was told that it’s not a good idea and i would just be wasting my money when i could do it differently.

i was thinking as a first step i could take a short course for music production so that i could produce some of my songs? not sure if this is a bad idea..

to all the professional musicians out there, what advice would you give me to get me out of my spiraling thoughts and doubts? and which steps do you think i should be taking?

i’m getting a horrible flare out on my chin and i get a new pimple that hurts every day on my chin!

i switched to the cosrx low ph cleanser because i ran out of my Dokdo cleanser and needed a new cleanser asap. but i feel like every since and a little before i switched, i’ve been breaking out on my chin like crazy! it gets worse everyday and i wonder if it’s hormonal or from my cleanser.

i don’t have any prior professional lessons, i know how to sing just not that good anymore, i have no connections to anyone that is in the music industry or is professional in music in general. i’m basically a noob, and that’s okay!

the only reason i want to attend university is to develop a skill in vocals, learn about the industry and most importantly, make connections.

if i were to major in music where i live, my connections are limited because rarely anyone ever makes it out of here, which is why i want to study abroad. However, im not sure if it’s worth the money that i’ll be spending or if i’ll even have the money to attend. I can afford the one where i live but it’s not the best option, an okay one.

as professional musicians, what advice would you give me based on my situation?
