Need shampoo recs please.

The shampoo I usually use ended, so I just grabbed a random one a friend had and began using it and now I’m losing a lot of hair when I wash it.

I need to buy a shampoo like today but I don’t want to go back to the one I used to have as it made my hair extremely dry.

Does anyone have any suggestions for a shampoo:

  • around the price of 10-20 dollars (US) that doesn’t have silicones.
  • has no hair loss controversy or risk or anything like that.
  • isnt “moisturizing,” because those shampoos make my VERY GREASY HAIR/SCALP get worse. (My hair gets greasy about 12 hours after I wash it.)

I was considering dove intensive repair but I heard a lot of normal people say it made their hair greasy and I already have a condition that makes my hair greasy AS IS.

Ive been also considering native and I’m 90% sure I will get it, because the ingredients are simple but I wanna know if ANYONE HERE thinks native will make my hair fall out (I heard some people say it did and I’m scared) or if native might be too greasy for me, etc. ALSO I’ve been highly considering cosmetics hut hair strengthening shampoo.

I just need some HUMAN advice not ai, some solid assistance. any help is greatly appreciate.

What Shampoo Should I buy???

Desperately need shampoo advice. The one I’ve been using for a while is making my hair too dry but I can’t use a moisturizing one or my head will be greasy in five hours.

Anyway, i just wanna know what you guys use and if there’s any shampoo I’m unaware of that:

  • Won’t cause hair loss like the cheap ones do when I use it
  • PCOS AND HAIR LOSS FRIENDLY PLEASE (my hair is so sensitive that baby shampoo makes it fall out)
  • Isn‘t full of shady chemicals and shit that is unhealthy and could affect my hair long term (I need more simple ingredients)
  • Isn’t moisturizing but not clarifying either (But it’s better if it’s more clarifying than moisturizing 😭)
  • Costs 5-15 ONLY (I’m broke now)

(Stupid) How Can I FEEL Better About My SELF/Life?

I'm getting really, REEEEEALLLY, really bad FOMO lately because I realized that I'm 21 and haven't done ANYTHING. Nothing at ALL.

First off, I lost my teen years due to a controlling, INSANE family and wasted them doing nothing.
As of RIGHT NOW, I'm broke, and I MEAN BROKE so I can't go to any nice or new places other than walk around the mall and buy some cheap shit like an ice cream cone.

In every post or video everywhere online I see posts of mutuals or influencers, or just random people online just LIVING their lives. Fans meeting my fav celebrities so fucking easily, etc...
THEY'RE ALL DOING THINGS AND GOING PLACES I WANT TO DO/GO TO BUT LIFE LITERALLY WON'T LET ME. For so many reasons out of my control.

Maybe I'll get my shit together soon but as of RIGHT now, it's not happening. It's gonna take a WHILE. I'm scared of wasting my 20s too :(((  I am definitely actively trying to achieve new goals it’s just that whilst I’m doing that, I’m getting FOMO.

I just need some advice on how to FEEL better about it because it feels like it's eating me from the inside that it's out of my hands.

What Shampoo do you use…

I desperately need shampoo advice. The one I’ve been using for a while is making my hair too dry because my hair washing schedule changed.

Anyway, i just wanna know what you guys use and if there’s any shampoo I’m unaware of that:

  • Won’t cause hair loss when I use it
  • PCOS AND HAIR LOSS FRIENDLY PLEASE (my hair is so sensitive that baby shampoo makes it fall out)
  • Isn‘t full of shady chemicals and shit that is unhealthy and could affect my hair long term
  • Isn’t moisturizing but not clarifying either (😭)
  • Costs 5-15 ONLY (I’m broke now)

Need your help.

Assalamalaykum.

I’ve no family or friends, just a handful of people. One of them is facing a major problem that could either go wrong or right. In my life, I notice things NEVER go well for the people I know but if it doesn’t go well this time, it could end horribly. It NEEDS to go well and it’s up to chance and chance only. It’s out of my hands.

Please, all I ask for is that you think of my relative and add him in your duas for a while. I’ve no one else to pray for him except me.

May Allah bless you for doing so. Thank you.

i don't know who else to go to, it's in Allah's hands. (NEED YOUR DUAS)

it feels like my entire life is falling apart.

so, i have a relative. and he's going through a HUGE life-altering PROBLEM, legal complicated stuff against him when he did nothing but try to live.

if it goes sideways, i could NEVER see him again and that will trigger a horrible domino effect. please, please, PLEASE add him to your duas, i have no one else to help me.

i have a pit in my stomach. pray that it all goes his way and he comes home safe and sound.

the situation is otherwise out of my hands.

Can I do this or is it prohibited? (Not looking for judgment, just hear me out)

I have PCOS.

For those who don't know, it's a very complicated hormonal condition that makes a woman have bodily issues like unwanted hair, acne, hair LOSS and very masculine features: voice, face, mustache, etc. I HAVE to wear makeup everyday otherwise I literally look like a MAN. (I really, REALLY do.)

I sound like a man, look like a man, have issues on my body. TLDR: PCOS is ruining my life.

My eyebrows are naturally thick and black. I noticed that they make my face look even MORE man-like than it already is. Now, I don't exactly know the rules the Prophet (SAW) said about women who thin their brows, but I just wanna shave them down a LITTLE bit, so I can actually look MORE like a woman.

I just wanna know if I can do this or not, no harsh judgment please. Is it haram? I don't wanna go to hell just for trying to look more feminine.

EDIT: I don’t want PCOS tips, please. I’m not unhealthy or fat, I’ve lost 60lbs and I’m eating okay. That’s not the problem. It’s just this the way this stupid disease is…

Retinol? (21F)

I saw a video made BY A dermatologist. He said that if you REALLY wanna age well, it would be good to start in your 20s. He recommended CeraVe Retinol (the blue one)

I'm very insecure because I think I look a bit older than 21 and my skin looks really bad in general.

I'm gonna buy the retinol. I just wanted to know: Will I get all old-looking if I stop using it? Will there be any negative side effects in general?

I really hate my life. (Mentally distressing hair problems)

I was super fat as a teen (not my fault), and I got diagnosed with this STUPID disease at 15. I lost about 60 lbs. I'm doing OKAY now. I SHOULD be healthy. I COULD eat better but I'm not mentally motivated to do it EVERY DAMN DAY. (SO maybe this IS my fault like everyone tells me it is)

ANYWAY, my fucking hairline is receding slowly. I can SEE IT. Especially on my left side. I can literally SEE the hair slowly becoming see-through over the years, then going back. WHAT AM I DOING WRONG?
I'm taking Saw Palmetto, using Rosemary oil, massaging it, washing it every 2 days cuz it gets greasy as hell, not eating absolute dogshit everyday like I used to before, I'm sleeping okay, drinking water.

WHY AM I CURSED? HAIR IS THE ONLY THING THAT MAKES ME FEEL FEMININE. MY FACE LOOKS LIKE A MAN with AND especially WITHOUT MAKEUP, my voice SOUNDS like one, I already DON'T FEEL LIKE A WOMAN and no one around me treats me like a normal woman, now I get THIS SHIT??

I can't AFFORD A HAIR TRANSPLANT or any more supplements, or wigs, I am DEAD BROKE, bout to go homeless broke, and I DON'T HAVE health insurance anymore.

WTF DO I DO? DIE? I hate my life, I hate this disease. You girls are the only ones that get it.

What the hell should I do?

So it’s been two days since I noticed a little red area near my nipple on my right boob and it hasn’t changed at all.

I feel a VERY small kinda bump? not really like a lump it isn’t feels like when you touch one of the raised veins on the back of your palm. But it also hurts when I touch it. Not a lot at all but it hurts. What the hell is it? I don’t have insurance to go anywhere right now.

i know that ive only felt it for two days but I’m a very paranoid person.

[Embarrassing] Have a few questions if you guys don't mind...

As of 2026, I'm 21F and... well, I've never had a job.

I feel like a fucking loser leeching off of others in my life.
To put it simply, I was raised without access to most information about anything. I heard that Starbucks is a somewhat good first job but I have NO CLUE WHAT I'M SUPPOSED TO DO.

So... Where and how do I apply? What are my chances of getting hired. Besides customers being annoying, is it relatively safe? What are ALL the requirements I need to get hired besides like an ID...?
Do I need a special card or permission or something an absolute fucking idiot that probably has a mental disorder would be completely unaware of?

I just need pointers, and a very specifically described list of details and tips, etc. Anything helps please.
