I’ve been using the fmc protein styling duo till now but the protein gel only has hold that lasts for two days. Has anyone with wavy hair used the moisture flax seed gel from fmc? Has it worked better? It’s supposed to have stronger hold than the protein one.

Are we normally supposed to have the crescents/lunulae on our toenails as well? I saw someone who does have them and I don’t, I only have them on 3 of my fingers, I had them on six of my fingers but since I went off injections they seem to be disappearing again.

A couple months ago I went through something stressful in life and my hair started falling out like crazy. Thankfully I’ve managed to get over my stress and my hair stopped falling after two months but it’s become pretty thin. I also went through intense hair fall a year ago and did blood tests and found out I had a b12 deficiency and my hair stopped falling once I started taking b12 injections. It hadn’t been long since my hair stopped falling from the deficiency and I was trying to grow it back when the stress made it fall out again.

Should I just wait for my hair to grow back or go see a dermatologist and ask them to prescribe me minoxidil because I’m worried I’ll get stressed out again and my hair will start falling out again before I’ve recovered from this. I’m only 24F.

I waited for my hair to stop falling out naturally because I wanted it to resolve itself before I hypothetically take minoxidil cause I read once you go off minoxidil your hair will fall out again if the underlying issue wasn’t resolved.

What if Geet is a spirit and that’s why he/she looks different to the other regular animals we’ve seen so far in Atla/lok world. I saw a post where it was rumoured that Geet can talk so if it’s true it would make sense that they’re a spirit. That would be pretty cool if so.

It’s been about two years since I herniated my l5-s1 pretty badly and I’ve been doing physiotherapy on and off with long gaps due to some other health problems and recently I’ve been able to be consistent for a while now with the stretches and strengthening exercises I was given and there’s been a couple problems.

Sometimes I get this electric shock spasm up my back, it doesn’t happen during exercise but hours later or a day or two later.

My lower back seems to be aching, it’s not very painful but it definitely started hurting again when I’ve been pain free for months now.

I’m not sure if these symptoms are normal or ok, due to certain reasons I can’t visit my physiotherapist for now so I wanted to ask if anyone else experiences these and knows if it’s normal or not when returning back to movement.

Were the amazing backgrounds for Atla painted on paper or digitally? I’m not able to tell if they were done traditionally or not. Some of the details like the rocks look as if they were done on paper.

For 7 months in a row I kept falling sick once or twice a month with some type of infection(mostly the flu and I got cellulitis once) and this is inspite of eating a nutritious varied diet.

The flu symptoms would last for around 7-14 days depending on how bad it is each time. I would just stop having a sore throat or runny nose and in a couple of days I would get a fever again and it would start all over from the beginning and it was getting unbearable. I was tired of falling ill so frequently so I made bone broth which I ate throughout the week and now it’s been two months since I last fell ill.

I went through a similar phase two years ago where I got the flu three times in the span of five weeks and it ended when I ate bone broth for a couple weeks. I didn’t get the flu for like a year after eating this.

I’m going to be eating bone broth a lot more often from now on. I use chicken bones for my broth but I read that beef bones are way better. The longer you cook the bones the better.

Two months ago I went through a very stressful period cause of something that happened in my life and I was crying my eyes out all day for two weeks and since then I started having shooting pains all over my body and my hair just started falling out in clumps… I feel better now after managing to calm myself down and the body pain went away but my hair is still falling out like I’m losing 80-90 hairs a day. They say losing up to a 100 hairs a day is fine but it’s not fine for my hair cause I don’t have very thick hair to begin with and normal hairfall for me in a day is not more than 10 hairs… my scalp has started to become visible when I lift up my hair now when you couldn’t see my scalp at all earlier.

I went through a period of hairfall like this a year ago before finding out I had a severe b12 deficiency and it stopped falling out once I took b12 injections and I had started regrowing my hair and now this happens and I’m feeling so discouraged and upset. I’m only in my twenties and my hair has become so thin and I’m trying not to get stressed over my hair falling cause that might make it worse. 90% of what I eat is a healthy varied diet with stuff that’s good for your hair and hormones and idk what to do anymore like I’m not allowed to get stressed at all now or my body reacts very badly in different ways. I’m scared to brush my hair everyday cause of how much hair falls out

I recently saw a really cool edit of Zuko with that honorable song on ig and I haven’t been able to find it again, does anyone have the link to that edit? It had a lot of views and starts with Iroh telling zhao that his nephew has more honor than him.

I’ve been eating oatmeal everyday for the last three years and for the past year I’ve been struggling with b12 deficiency and its symptoms.

One of the worst symptoms for me was spleen pain and body pain every day which went away with injections but would come back a few weeks after stopping injections. I was taking b12 tablets after this for a few months but it didn’t really help me feel better so I thought maybe I have pernicious anemia but the tests came back negative.

Lately I noticed that on the days I don’t eat oatmeal I start feeling better and the pain goes away by like 80%. Oatmeal doesn’t cause me pain when it’s baked, only when it’s been boiled or soaked, which is what I’ve been eating mostly.

I feel like oatmeal does make my digestion really good cause of the fiber in it and it’s also helped me a lot in keeping my blood sugar low. It doesn’t cause my actual stomach to ache so I’m not sure why it was making my spleen hurt. I think it’s impacting my b12 absorption since I do eat meat sometimes and my b12 shouldn’t have been so low. One possible reason I read about online was that oats have phytic acid (which hinder the absorption of certain nutrients) that only breaks down when cooked for a while but normally that doesn’t really affect people.

I don’t think I have celiac disease since I don’t have a bad reaction to any other form of gluten. I’m going to try taking the tablets again now after having stopped eating oatmeal to see if it helps me this time since I do still have b12 deficiency symptoms.

Does anyone know if they will be introducing rigging in this years update? I’ve been trying to find any information on it to see if I should buy dreams or not.

My face and neck are a shade darker than my chest and the rest of my body. When I look at tips for picking a foundation it says to match your face to your neck and chest but my neck and chest are different shades and it looks weird.

My question is do I match my foundation to my neck? Or my chest??

Has anyone tried printing on handmade/recycled paper using riso? Is the texture of this type of paper too rough to print on? I’m thinking of getting it done this way for tags for my small clothing brand.

Hair type - 2b-3a. Low porosity.

I’m trying to remove fragranced products as much as I can because I read that fragrance is amongst the worst things in cosmetics because they are carcinogenic and I have already have autoimmune problems.

I can’t find any fragrance free curly hair products like everything has fragrance in it :(. If anyone knows any good fragrance free gel and curl cream please lmk. It’s easier to find fragrance free shampoo but not the other stuff.

Does anyone know if you apply early to CSM/LCF for the bachelors in fashion (like December since their deadline is usually mid january) do you hear back from them earlier since you applied early? I have backup schools that I would need to confirm my attendance to by the end of January if I do not get accepted.

Hello. I’m looking to start a sustainable denim brand and as part of my research I wanted to ask people if there is anything you feel is missing from the denim industry, or anything you would like to see more of. I I will be doing natural dyed denim but not raw denim since I think that market is oversaturated.

We have the place to manufacture it, and their natural dyeing and manufacturing unit is top quality. They only manufacture for one artisanal brand in Europe. The issue is that since they are a small unit we can’t order more than a certain amount of pieces at a time, but I guess that is fine since we are also positioning ourselves as an artisanal brand. We want to do something different to what is common in the space of natural dyed denim which is mainly raw denim. We have a few directions in mind to take it. We would really appreciate receiving suggestions from people interested in denim and sustainable fashion on what they would like to see more of or what they feel is missing.

Hi, is there anyone who’s studied fashion design or textile design in Bunka here? I’m thinking of applying for 2027 and want to know about someone’s experience there. I already have a bachelors in another field in design so I’m used to sleepless nights and heavy workloads. I’m curious about the teaching, classes, classmates and also if fashion brands in Japan are open to hiring foreigners (who can speak Japanese).
