I always get the itch to dye my hair this time of year and so I was looking at colors on pinterest and saw these two before and after pictures. My natural hair color is nearly identical to the the before pictures.

Could you suggest what dye and brand i should use to get either of these results? Would it be a dye or some type of tint I could use? I am open to a tint as well since that is a bit less damaging and fades more evenly, right?

I'm looking for any and all suggestions that I could do at home. I have dyed my hair black before both with henna and box dye. I also dyed my hair with two different blond box dyes and got a very lovely ginger.

I've started getting waves in my straight hair and it seems more waves start forming. It started with a lock of hair behind my right ear and only there among all the straight hair. Then a few more small locks started getting wavy and it seems now like most of the underside of my hair has some wave to it.

Except, the top is straight and it knots in the waves and it looks horrible if I don't brush it and then i get a frizzy poof on the underside. I need help.

My hair is fine and gets weighted down easily, no volume.

What product for wavy hair should I use? I read that fine hair should use just gel on wet hair, is that true? What gel should I be getting?

Should I be getting one of those curl separating brushes already or is that not necessary yet?

Is it worthwhile getting wavy/curly shampoo and conditioner? I don't know what makes them different or what set to buy. Can I use a wavy care set although I have a straight top layer of hair?

thank you for any help on this!

I work in a call center and would like to utilize my time between calls to study Korean. I need something super quick and easy that doesn't require much space and can be started and put down quickly and easily.

Most apps suck for my learning style so I was thinking either doing Anki or flashcards with grammar or maybe sentences to translate or to just try writing sentences and check them later. All that is much easier than a textbook or various apps I will definitely dislike.

What to you do if you're trying to maximize sporadic 5-10 min windows?

Please, stay with me, this is going to be a bit long.

I recently remembered my 7 years old Blogger blog with 5 posts on it and it is somehow getting traffic still. Several hundred per month which is abysmal numbers and also may be some weird bot/glitch situation.

That's not important, what matters is that it gave me that itch to blog again. I used to have a wordpress blog that paid itself through affiliation and made me profit. That website does not exist anymore.

I would like advice on what free platform I can use to get back into writing and also make some money from. I am not hoping for 100 a day, just enough to reach the site's payout threshold every month.

What I will be writing: books I'm reading, recipes, monthly overview of that I watched, my fitness progress, fandom related things, my upcoming travel, productivity tips, beauty products i've been using, clothes i bought. It's general lifestyle stuff I want to journal and make a bit on the side.

I have a Medium already that still exists, I could resurrect that. I have an empty Substack account. I remember HubPages exist but that used to run on product affiliates and I don't want to add that to my plate. I submitted my free Blogspot blog to AdSense for the heck of it and it's not gonna be approved anyway.

• is it worth trying to monetize a blogspot. com blog via AdSense in 2026?
• Substack or Medium for the type of things I will be writing?
• if there is another platform that would be more suitable, please let me know

Thank you to anyone who gives me some advice
