How to get more definition at the ends?

I have 2a-2b low porosity hair. Attached an image of the most definition I’ve had, which only lasts about 1-2 days.

My routine:
FMC Curl Quenching Hair Butter
FMC Curl Quenching Flax Seed Jelly
Scrunching up
Slowly drying top of head from afar on low heat
Drying upside down with diffuser to preserve curls

My biggest concern is that the ends of my hair don’t curl up, and end up looking like rat tails. Also the frizz, as you can see.

What else do I need to do? I don’t feel like it’s a product issue, because the rest of the hair curls up well. Any advice is appreciated, thanks!

Looking for a serious girlfriend for my friend (24M)

Hi everyone!

I (26F) am posting on behalf of my friend A (24M) whom I’ve known for almost three years, and is one of my closest and realest friends.

A is a super cool dude and is currently looking for a serious girlfriend. Of course, he’s extremely gifted, curious and has a great sense of humour. His favourite thing to do in the world is going on walks/picnics to Cubbon and grabbing a simple filter coffee. A is, in many ways, a simple and honest guy.

Some of his niche interests include (but aren’t limited to): topology, carnatic music and Minecraft! A is really passionate about hardware design, ML, and just learning new things in general. I promise you’ll never get tired in a conversation with him!

Now for what he’s looking for in a partner: he happens to be a vegetarian and Tamil, and he believes having a similar diet/community is important for long-term compatibility (I’d prefer if someone proved him wrong xD). However, A is also the kind to try his best and stand up for someone who truly loves him.

Please DM if you’d like to know more about A!

Need help deciding a side!

Hi all,

I am planning the menu for a party, and this beetroot walnut pasta is the main course: https://walnuts.org/recipe/creamy-beet-pasta-with-walnut-breadcrumbs-and-ricotta/

I want to make one vegetarian (no eggs) and one non-vegetarian side to go along with this. For the vegetarian side, I’m thinking of something along the lines of za’atar paneer, similar to this recipe: https://dairyfarmersofcanada.ca/en/canadian-goodness/recipes/grilled-spiced-paneer and not going to make it a very complicated dish.

I am stumped about the non-vegetarian side. Some kind of meatballs (mutton or lamb) sound good but I don’t want to reuse the za’atar spices. I was thinking of a koobideh-style kebab but instead of making them elongated (because I’ll be cooking in a pan) i could make them into small ovals.

I would really appreciate any insight on what kind of saucing/spices I should use for the meatballs which will work well with both the other dishes, or any other suggestions. TIA!

Need help with styling skirts 25F

Hey everyone!

I recently got these two new knee/midi length shirts but I’m unable to style them. Any Pinterest inspo with these either looks like I’m wearing an apron (for the white one) or that I’m dressed up for work (the black one).

Do you guys have any ideas on which items of clothing would look good with these (besides the ones pictured), and which colours? I only want to wear them in casual outfits. How do I style them casually?

TIA!

Can you guys help me find this Odia influencer?

Edit: Found her! Her handle is dasmygal on Instagram. This is the Indumati cosplay I was talking about: https://www.instagram.com/p/DYKST3qCcCR/?igsh=MWZhZnU0ZG5ha2JyYQ==

Namaskar bhai bhauni mane🙏

I am looking for a female Odia influencer. She is super pretty, and in recent times her posts have been in traditional Indian attire. One recent post I remember distinctly is her dressing up as Indumati from Chhota Bheem.

She gained popularity when she started posting with her orange pet cat Piku.

I’ve completely forgotten her name :( kehi janicha ki tara account handle? I’m looking for her to share her account with my friend who is unaware of Odia fashion/lifestyle influencers.

TIA!

Does anyone sell something like this?

I am looking for earrings similar to those worn by Laura Linney on Primal Fear. Does anyone sell something similar?

Just looks like a drop earring with triangular/rectangular stone setting.

Looking for earrings similar length, golden/rose gold in colour and tarnish free. Saw some options online but can’t be sure if they’re tarnish-free.

TIA!💕

Using up green onions

We never end up using our entire bunch of green onions. But not this time. Made Chinese scallion pancakes for lunch tomorrow, ginger scallion sauce which can last a month, and chopped and froze some to be used later. Used all of 300g of green onions worth 31 INR.

Fanart featuring four characters

I remember seeing it sometime between 2011-2018. It was art of four male characters with all different associated colours (like The Power Rangers) and I think they were in casual clothing.

It was distinctly stylized like anime, and I remember looking it up and it seemed like a fanart of a game. The game may or may not be anime-style, but it was definitely an action/fantasy game, could be a movie too. They could either all be looking to the left or the right.

Please help me find this art, TIA!

Selling AGARO HD-1120 pro hair dryer

Selling this brand new! I’d ordered it for a friend but they don’t want it. Attached evidence.

I paid 1499. Current price on Amazon is 1424, I can do 1200 if you can cover shipping. Since it’s brand new I would prefer not to go much lower than that, but can negotiate as I just want to get rid of it because I don’t want to use it either.

A couple days back, I (25F) caught my sister (13F) using social media despite me having told her not to, due to the detrimental effects it can have on children. After that, she came clean about a few other things and promised me that I can trust her to do away with distractions. Before this, she’s been comfortable talking to me about her sexuality, her romantic interests etc. and I’ve always welcomed such discussions.

Yesterday, she came up to me and asked “Since we’re being transparent now, how many people have you slept with?”. In my anger I scolded her to stop wondering about these things and focus on her studies.

I feel disgusted knowing that a) she is learning about this from the content she’s consuming and b) she thinks it’s okay and even exciting to ask this to someone. I am not sure how to proceed. I want to learn how to best make her understand without feeling mad, the next time something like this happens. Any help on this is appreciated, TIA.
