I always have spotting about a week before Day 1, but this time the spotting was actually quite heavy and I almost tracked it as Day 1 even though it was very very early. The spotting went back to extremely light for the next couple days. Now I'm wondering how to track this cycle.

Edit: the heavy "spotting" was just a 1 time thing on CD21. It was not heavy the entire day, just a moment.

I am new to haircare, very low maintence, but decided to lighten my hair to a light neutral blonde. I am trying to focus on hydration and avoid alcohol and sulfates. I would appreciate reccomendations on any of the following:

1. Bond Repair

2. Co-wash, Shampoo and conditioner: I mostly need to know what shampoo and conditioner to use, that will be color safe, and also good for curly hair. (Also, do I need a purple shampoo?)

3. Leave in conditioner

4. Heat protectant

5. Curl cream that is not alcohol based

I was looking at Curlsmith products. I see they have co wash, shampoo, conditioner, and salve. Are those recommended for curly hair after bleach?

Appointment is today, I didnt know not to use selsun blue before

I have an open air clay bleach appointment today, avoiding the roots. I didnt know this about selsun blue until after.

I have an appointment for balayage highlights, avoiding the roots, with open air clay bleach. I have never been to a salon before and had no idea how to prepare for the appointment. I did ask, but they said nothing.

The appointment is tomorrow and today I washed with Selsun Blue. Only after did I see online that that is not recommended. I already have frizzy dry hair and I'm worried the bleach will damage or severly alter my curl pattern.

I also see online that selsun blue can cause an uneven lift with the bleach or affect the toner. Can a chelating shampoo prevent that?

I'm not sure if this is not a problem at all or if I made a rookie mistake.

I read that Selsun blue residue can alter how the toner works

Built my van 6 years ago so I don't remember the exact product used, but I believe it was either 3M 77 or 90 spray adhesive under the flooring.

Well since it has been 95+ all week in direct sun while the van is being unused (no air flow or AC all week), the floor has now started to peel up. I don't have time to fix it before my next trip but my question is- is it dangerous to breathe in terms of VOCs, even after 6 years?

Planning a very small wedding and trying to determine if Cocktail Attire would be an OK choice for this time/venue.

​

It is indoors in a small lounge/event center. There is not a meal, instead an array of refreshments, a dessert bar, cocktails/mocktails, and other beverages at the bar. The entire ceremony/reception is from 1pm-4pm.

I already made and received the invites. They have a QR code for RSVP and dress code Cocktail attire. It's only 20 guests. Is this still normal, am I overthinking? I guess I feel cringy?
