Favorite TCG card?
My favorite TCG card I actually own! It's the Gym Challenge's Misty's Gyarados!
Favorite musician?
Gawrsh this is tough. I actually don't really follow any one musician. I'm more of a "listen to a single song 4893y5983475 times until I'm bores with it" guy. If anyone I would say P!nk. She's an inspiration for sure. Her whole "be who you are and Imma be me" motto for life is something I try my everything to live and breathe by.
Seriously. I'm awful at styling hair. Halp. I try different stuff and it always turns out blagh. Gives tips!
Please keep in mind that this is a
very difficult thing to do without me being able to actually touch and feel your hair. However!, I can help you get to know your hair better, in order to help guide you into being able to style your hair to your liking a little easier!
This first step is to know the texture and density levels of your hair. Texture means the actual thickness and behavior of the individual strand, while density is the AMOUNT of hair you have on your head. There are three levels of each.
Texture
Fine - Fine hair means that if you take the strand in your hair, is it very soft, delicate, and almost brittle? This is the texture that is rather allergic (for lack of better word) to intense moisture. Fine hair is very light, meaning that people with it tend to have a natural low amount of volume and body in their hair. In order to avoid this, a shampoo and conditioner that merely hydrate (a much lesser moisturizing) can help the hair get a little more bump at the roots. Another thing that can help is skipping conditioner every other washing of the hair. Conditioner is
always good for anyone, but not always the best every time.
Medium - Medium texture hair is more-so your "perfect ratio" type of hair. it is extremely versatile, obedient, has a great balance of moisture, and just all around styles very well. This is a little thicker than fine hair, but not so thick that it feels rough in your fingertips. This hair type is rather easy to maintain. I myself have medium texture hair. A great regimen for medium hair is washing every other day and using a light moisture shampoo and conditioner.
Coarse - Coarse hair tends to feel rather rough in your fingertips, and has a tendency to get rather frizzy pretty quickly. It's extremely stubborn and very hard to style without the proper tools, often needing high-heat styling tools such as flat irons and curling irons. A great way to help maintain the stubbornness is extremely moisturizing and smoothing shampoos and conditioners. Leave-in conditioners and oils after a shower are also recommended.
Density
Thin, Medium, Thick
These are rather easy to get. Thin hair is not having a lot of it, medium is a decent amount, and thick is a large amount. Thin hair tends to have finer strands (but not always!) and has almost no volume. These are the people that don't have to sit in a salon chair for very long. Medium is just as versatile as medium texture is. Thick density comes with all hair types, and generally needs a decent amount of texturizing (also called thinning) to help control the hair's shape.
As always, professional grade products are always recommended. These are the products you can't get at a cheap barber shop/"Supercuts" type of place, nor at a grocery store/supermarket. Believe it or not products sold in any of these places actually have was as a main ingredient. Hair product companies are able to sell to these places for such a low value because the wax acts as a filler for lack of product, meaning they can fill the bottle a quarter of the way with the actual product, and the rest be equivalent to dish soap. Professional grade products are the products you'd see and a higher end salon, and though they may be a bit more expensive, they are always worth it you get what you paid for, basically. I prefer Davines or Eufora products. They're both some of the most natural products in the industry, and are both sold all over the world.
...I hope that helps a little! ;A;
