I’ve been having trouble with my hair being too dry and can’t figure out why. I live in the northwestern US, I’ve been using suave Moroccan oil infusion shampoo and conditioner, and while the water is hot, it is no where near scalding, it’s borderline warm. I used an Aussie brand 3 minute deep conditioner, for the first time yesterday which seemed to help, but went back to its original form today. I’m not in the shower particularly long, maybe 20 minutes tops. Honestly I was kind of surprised by the curls because my hair has always been wavy, especially when it’s long… oh, and I towel dry with a regular bath towel…and then let it air dry after it stops being drippy. I am not using any other products in my hair currently. I don’t use silk pillowcases although I do have a set, same with a bonnet.

Any tips/tricks greatly appreciated! Thanks!

My coworker was adamant that the pancakes I made were too thick and proceeded to smash them down to cook them. I had to thicken her dough as it was water thin and no lumps. I dumped four pancakes on the griddle, I was starving, and I usually hate pancakes, but when you’re starving…… I tried to tell her that smashing them down won’t help(it just makes them chewy…) so I got fed up and asked if I could have my pancake. She gave me the spatula, I took my pancake, I didn’t know where to put it because she had shit everywhere except behind the griddle, so I put it there. I was done, and I wanted the fuck out of there. (I was later told that I apparently threw it? Jesus, I just wanted out of whatever fight she decided she needed to give. )

Oh, and the pancakes that she had made before that? They weren’t. They were freaking crêpes. Not that she would know what those were.

We used krustez mix. Nothing super fancy. I think the consistency needed to be between what I (starving and had not much time) and she made…..I feel like we were on both extremes of the spectrum of pancake mixes….. all of the guys she fed complained about her pancakes.

The two that ate mine, one loved them and the other doesn’t say much in terms of food consumption, just eats it.

I can’t keep my hair hydrated?

Are thick pancakes going to be raw in the middle?

I received free food on a technicality…..
