I've been doing nopoo since the beginning of July. I finally figured out a routine that works for my hair to look good.

However, I still get a lot of sebum built up by the time I get around to doing that routine. Is it normal for hard water to make it basically impossible to cull the production of sebum to the point where my hair isn't stringy and greasy after only a couple of days?

Would this be awkward to translate to screen?

I'm thinking of a virus in which the traditional headshot isn't enough, but rather the spinal cord or something else of that nature is required.

Any thoughts?

I'm writing a teleplay for fun, and the main shtick of my story is that the zombie virus makes it so people retain sentience, but have to eat brain every few days to not go feral. Would it be more or less interesting if this happening was a random chance, i.e some would go straight to being feral and others wouldn't, or would it be more interesting if every person infected became sentient before possibly becoming feral later on?

Both for the fact that I have to use acv to prevent hard water buildup and the fact that my hair always gets drier in the winter and this would be my first winter doing nopoo.

I was thinking about my biggest problem when it came to extending the time between washes and I realized it wasn't the washing (that's being resolved through nopoo (yay)) but rather the fact that my hair (curly) stops cooperating and loses most overall it's volume after 2 days.

For context, I have extremely hard water and use Bentonite clay and acv rinses to combat it. While I really like them, they are quite drying especially when I have to use them every other day to essentially reset my hair.

But here is the question: with hard water, would I be able to simply hop in the shower for a minute and wet my hair with cold water, then get out and restyle it without getting my hair waxy?

I am adjusting to really hard dorm water. It is hard to the point where I have to wash my hair with something acidic every time, otherwise the buildup will make my hair incredibly sticky and waxy.

My question is: does it make more sense to use bentonite clay mixed with acv (my alternative wash of choice) every time or alternate between a bentonite wash and a diluted acv wash?

Would this work better with nopoo since hair is more moisturized because of the natural oils?

I've never been able to do more than every other day for washing, but with Nopoo I think it might be a good idea, I just don't know how to do it with curly hair and still maintain its shape/some volume.

Any advice is appreciated, thank you!

I've seen a few videos and the mods look kind of neat but I don't know if they're that awesome or if it's editing in the videos that make them look cooler than they are.

Any thoughts on these would be appreciated! Thank you!

Looking for some (preferably shorter) books that have the tone/setting of the movie Weapons.

Looking for novels and novellas (preferably under 150-200 pages or so) that are either southern gothic, horror, or suburban mystery/thriller/horror genre.

Any recs are appreciated, thank you!

I have curly hair (low density) that goes a little past my ears.

I can't seem to get my roots to be clean and get any kind of volume in the roots or otherwise. I always have a ton of gaps between curls and I wake up to a flat, low volume, sometimes sticky mess that takes forever to style somewhat well.

Any help is appreciated, I'm at the end of my rope with my hair lol.

Looking for an Amazon seller that is legit and sells crazy horse leather by the sheet for the purpose of making my own traveler's notebook.

I'm looking for a traveler's style leather notebook that has multiple (preferably 3 or so) built in elastics that is small enough to comfortably fit in my pocket. (ie, isn't too thick and doesn't have a reinforced spine making it stick out more) Also something around 30 dollars or so.

I currently have a wanderings pocket size one that I really like except for the fact that it only has one built in elastic and it's a bit annoying trying to stuff 5 inserts into it. One with more built in would be better for me.

Any recommendations would be appreciated, thank you!

I always, always touch my hair too much. During the day, I'll feel a piece in a slightly different spot and obsessively touch it until it gets all oily and loses its volume. And when I style my hair, I'll get it to a pretty good point (out of my face) and still feel the compulsive need to touch it and keep trying to get it to look better when for the sake of styling it, it's already fine.

Any advice to stop me from being so obsessed with compulsively touching my hair is greatly appreciated, as it ruins perfectly good hair days and wastes a considerable amount of time.

Thank you!
