So I’m going to start swimming regularly and I want to know what to do since I know chlorine can be very damaging to hair. I feel like the best thing I can do is wash my hair everytime I swim but that also feel quite damaging. What do I do?

I was planning to go to the US but my country was banned for student visas and other visas. I feel like the biggest bum. We paid the tuition deposit for a school in Canada with the promise of getting a scholarship that was literally catered to my situation, but they were so opaque about the scholarship situation I had to truly harass (professionally) information out of them. Of this information included the fact that I could not apply for scholarships in winter if I go in fall and I had to defer a semester to actually apply.

But guess what? They changed the awarding system and now you can’t apply but they decide internally for a scholarship YOU SHOULD GET and is TAILORED TO YOUR SITUATION. Imagine a uni says that you can get a full scholarship if you have an apple farm. You’ve had the apple farm for 2 years when their.minimum is 1yearand they respond with “just because your eligible doesn’t mean you’ll get the scholarship.”

I had already gotten a 60%+ scholarship to an incredible uni in Europe and my mother said no because she thinks a Bachelor of Arts and sciences is not a real degree and it doesn’t matter what I say to explain she thinks I’m lying because I’m a girl and I can’t even go back to that uni…

So we’ve made a plan to apply to unis elsewhere (one of these places is where family I can’t stand lives and I cannot mentally stay there with them, it genuinely feels like I’m going to kms if I go) and to wait for the van to be lifted and apply to the US again and just graduate from college early by piling on summer classes.

I’m exhausted and I decided to continue learning a language during this time but I cannot stand being here with the person that literally placed me in this position. I have no one around me physically that can help me and all my friends have already figured it out. I feel like such a loser and I’m so tired of alyong, this is the 5th time this year.

If so why.

Hello!

I’m 18 and I get my period after every 1-2 months, longest I’ve gone without my period was 5 months which ended this march. During (normally first day but last time it was like day 3) I get like hot flashes and intense sweating a lot of the times I vomit as a result of the pain. What could this be? I’ve heard of PCOS and Endometriosis but I’m not sure. I also have incurable hormonal acne.

For example, in TZ we have a lot of Indians and Arabs, with Arabs being our colonisers; however, we see them all as Tanzanian, there is no distinction. It's to the point I was shocked when my Indian friend who emigrated here at a young age didn't know Kiswahili at all since it's so common to have Swahili-speaking Indians and Arabs. I know in ZA it's the same with the Afrikaaners being African but what about other places (if you're from ZA still comment below!)?

I spray my hair daily with water and the left overs of my leave in. I sometimes don’t have enough time before bed For them to dry up so my hair is a bit damp when I go out on my bonnet. I saw a comment talking about this and how hydration fatigue is not a concern but what is hydration fatigue?

“my second cousin once removed”

Personally don't comb or brush my hair. Finger detangling only and no braids whatsoever.

What are the chances it’s. I tiki go and if it’s not that’s else could it be? Just discolouration lack of melanin on those two parts just by chance? Have never had anything like them before so they aren’t birth marks.

I do my own twists and I braid the base and twists the rest but it feels like they never remain in the twist, they unravel overtime and it’s really annoying.

I really hate the look of really thick thighs and skinny calves on me.

Edit: THANK YOU SO MUCH GUYS LOVE YOU ALL

Not even half way through but I’m loving it so far. Read Yellowface and I LOVE that book.
