this is probably a ridiculous stupid post but what do I have to lose lol feel free to say hi

Hi guys! I (f27) moved to Bay Ridge about a month ago and have absolutely loved it so far, but I’ve noticed a big difference in my hair since moving!

My hair no longer feels or looks clean after I wash it. Right after showering, it looks dull, flat, and almost greasy, even though I’ve just washed it. It also doesn’t have the same shine or softness that it used to.

At first I thought it was my shampoo, but I actually stayed at a hotel over the weekend and washed my hair there. It was shiny, full of volume, and back to normal. As soon as I got home and washed it again, it went right back to looking dull, flat, and greasy :/.

I’ve also tried shampooing twice, so I don’t think it’s an issue of simply not getting enough product out. Has anyone else in Bay Ridge experienced this? Could it be something about the water or possibly the plumbing in the building? I live relatively close to the Owl’s Head water treatment plant, so I was wondering if that could have anything to do with it?

We’re considering getting a shower/water filter, but I’d love to hear from anyone who has had a similar experience. Did a shower filter actually help? If so, what kind did you get? Or is there something else you’d recommend trying first?

Bittersweet. Not a fan of the food at Brooklyn Roots, but glad the space occupied by the Corner is being put to continued use. What goes where Brooklyn Roots is now is up for speculation.

I usually go for a walk in the morning before work, and the amount of men sleeping on shore Road is heartbreaking. I have contacted the local offices and they just tell me to contact 311. This morning I saw two men sleeping on park benches and I contacted 311. And then from the viewpoint of where the men are sleeping, you see the dog park. Nothing against dogs, but we seem to care more about animals running free than ensuring that human beings who are homeless have a safe place. I don’t know why we don’t incentivize the homeless, perhaps giving them $25 to go to a shelter for the day or the night. I’m sure we have the money. it’s kind of like the same thing as providing drug addicts a safe place to do drugs.

Hello Neighbors! Looking for laptop friendly multiple hour places, because there's currently construction in my building and I'd honestly just like a backup place to send emails.

I can't be the only person that benefits from having one work day a week somewhere else. Somedays I honestly consider a co-working space subscription.

Time's Up! - Coney Island Cyclone Ride

Hello, could anyone recommend a local animal shelter or other place I could adopt a cat? I’m open to fostering also.

I need a place where I can make a copy of my key for my pet sitter. It says do not duplicate on it and has a thicker end for a multi lock. I know places will do it especially if you overpay or pay in cash or both. Looking for one of those. Thank you!!

Hey everybody, I recently moved to Bay ridge about 2 years ago and live in one of the post-war buildings. I noticed that the shower heads always seemed to be clogged with debris like black specs. The kitchen faucet also takes some time to get cold after not using it for a day or so.

I’ve also noticed that the brita filter needs frequent changing like once every 2 months.

The most concerning thing is that my hair loss has increased a lot. Every time I washed my hair, it’s like a mouse nest in the drain. I never had hair loss this bad living even further south of Brooklyn.

Since we also have a water treatment plant nearby, could it be a high concentration of chemicals that might be clogging the pipes and maybe on our skin? Has anyone else experienced this sort of thing?

Thank you

Hello everyone, I would like to create a group chat for people from the area that are in their twenties and looking for friends. I’m into anime, going for walks, singing, listening to music, and going on adventures. DM me if you want to be included!

Hello, does anyone know of a 1-2 bedroom apartment accepting NYCHA section 8 or a broker who works with voucher holders? I moved here from out of state after selling a cooperative unit I had and resided in for 25 years due to my daughter attending college in Manhattan but now I keep getting denied by brokers due to the voucher. I have a rental reference of 25 years that can be verified from a HUD property. We are very clean and quiet, looking to move ASAP. I am currently living on Long Island in a unit with mold so I was allowed to look in the city but did not realize how difficult it would be. TIA!

So I'm trying to find some garage sales that people are clearing out for old tech and stuff to experiment with, not a scalper! Please let me know if there are any upcoming garage sales.

Due to various promotions making more financial sense for me, I have four extra lines on my plan. Two 929 numbers and two 646 numbers.

This isn't on a 2nd tier carrier. It's T-Mobile Go5G Plus - unlimited 5G data, 50GB 5G hotspot (unlimited for slower speed), free Apple TV, free Netflix w/ Ads.

To offset my own costs, I am happy to offer these lines to folks. $50/month for the 646 numbers, $40 for the 929 lines.

SIM cards included, so no charge for that. I can meet for a SIM card hand off + first payment, afterwards you can pay Venmo/PayPal/Zelle on a month to month basis.

Let me know if you're interested! Prices negotiable.
