I have a disorder that lead me to being mostly bald. I just got a human hair wig for the first time and the wig maker stressed that I should get a UV and heat protectant especially if I style it with tools. I haven't had hair since age 12 so I'm clueless. I declined the one she sells (revlon I believe) because most hair products give me headaches from fragrances being so close to my nose. Is there a FF product that does both things? What about shampoo/conditioner for colored hair? TIA

I have managed to avoid hormonal BC my whole life but now that peri is kicking in, this is the only option my GYN will try right now. Actually, she tried to Rx Lo Loestrin but insurance won't cover it, so I have to try & rule this out first (plus another) before they'd cover that. So dumb, but not the point.
I'm wondering if anyone has been on this 21 day version, and what the week off looks like. It doesn't come with placebo pills, so how do you keep track of when to start the next pack? What have your period experiences been? I'm still not convinced this is an option that makes much sense, but HRT isn't being offered otherwise yet since periods were getting wonky but were still mostly regular (timing wise at least).

ETA: this pack has only 21 pills, no placebos
