It is a process, not a "one and done". <br /><br />Find groups on FB, check out different YouTube videos and try different products that are designed to do what you're using them for. I found adding a curl cream and trimming off my ends really made a difference for me.<br /><br />I was a little disappointed by your facile dismissal of a method that works very well for many people.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1724594058209899258.post-10543763736357956292019-09-01T21:22:31.619-04:002019-09-01T21:22:31.619-04:00My best tool for my curly hair is Paul Mitchell Sc...My best tool for my curly hair is Paul Mitchell Sculpting Foam. It smells wonderful - like coconut. I put it generously on wet/damp hair, scrunch, and let air dry. I usually wash my hair every other or every two days. Second day hair - I just slightly dampen out the frizz and the sculpting foam "reactivates". If they ever discontinue the product, I'm out of luck! You can find it at the walmart or JC Penney salon very often on buy one get one sales, or I sometimes order on Amazon. They make a little bottle you can try out without buying the full size!Mary Knoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1724594058209899258.post-77591866230357106462019-09-01T20:55:24.726-04:002019-09-01T20:55:24.726-04:00It took my dad almost 2 years to fully adjust to h...It took my dad almost 2 years to fully adjust to his CPAP machine. Eventually he took to wearing the mask for about an hour before bed, not attached to the machine. But this was 10+ years ago, and the masks and machines were significantly larger then. His first several masks covered both his nose and mouth. His current mask only covers his nose.Cynthianoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1724594058209899258.post-6713598920983212302019-08-31T17:21:05.064-04:002019-08-31T17:21:05.064-04:00Jen have you tried any of the other garnier tubs? ...Jen have you tried any of the other garnier tubs?

I dont do it that often so dont tend to worry.

My hair gets shampoo, conditioner and regular treatments with blue hair dye. Advantage of it being grey and white now is that I can just use deposit color and it stays on well! The purpose of marketing is to convince you that how you look now is wrong or bad, and that you need to buy stuff to correct that. Your hair is gorgeous, you are beautiful, and you do not need any product to make you lovely. So there. Also - John, the hair is awesome. We live in a wondrous age where there is no single right look for anybody. You can do your own thing and rock it. So do what makes YOU happy. Because that is what makes you look awesome, being happy in your skin - and hair!<br />Aunt Foggyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09822854807566491775noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1724594058209899258.post-63588721222585955172019-08-29T12:22:02.569-04:002019-08-29T12:22:02.569-04:00You should totally put some glow in the dark paint...You should totally put some glow in the dark paint over the slime spots on the shirt.

But... maybe more combed back on the sides instead of the side-sweep? My weirdo Daddy used to call that look a D.A., short for Duck's Ass; he was a greaser before it let it grow out and went/stayed hippie. Wear it that way with a thigh length coat with a black velvet collar and a pair of "brothel Creeper" shoes, and you can work the retro Teddy Boy (English greaser) look.

CPAP masks...John's hair looks great...keep it!<br /><br />CPAP masks can be challenging to find the right one. I have one that works really well, until I get the new one. If I don't put a little padding on my "nose bump" it will get blistered. But then after a few days it must stretch out a little bit, because then it is so much more comfortable. Glad he gets a chance to try out what works for him. I think the tendency to want to pull it off will lessen as he adjusts, it did for me. I got a nice traveling case with mine and it goes everywhere I go. I even take it on the airplane as a carry-on, because it is a medical device it doesn't count as one of my items.

Once or twice a week, max, unless I've been doing something really sweaty/dirty. I get it wet every day, but don't rub it with a towel, just wrap up the turban and let it absorb for a while. A non-terry towel to wrap it with helps, also.<br /><br />Congrats on the cpap, that can be a frustrating experience.

He settled on the type of mask that utilized nose pillows and adapted after only a week which was a major feat for him. He could not believe the difference in how he felt. The CPAP went everywhere after that, camping, on cruises, and vacations at resorts. :)Mavisdavishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02283759398525503920noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1724594058209899258.post-62692139169654329422019-08-28T15:35:43.612-04:002019-08-28T15:35:43.612-04:00John's new haircut is great.

I know, it probably feels so far out there to him even though it's not. Sometimes it takes time to get used to change.<br /><br />Re: CPAP: your story reminds me so much of our journey when my husband got his CPAP (including the number of breathing stops per hour!). It's been many years, and it took awhile to get everything sorted out and find equipment that works and just get used to it all, but I can't overstate the improvements it made for both of our lives. I'm really glad to hear it's working for you guys, too - hang in there, it's a process, and you WILL figure it all out.TropicalChromehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15400443106764696620noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1724594058209899258.post-82602325660418307172019-08-28T15:33:29.664-04:002019-08-28T15:33:29.664-04:00Please share your shampoo sellers name?
