Not buying the propaganda at convincing women with wavy or curly hair to get curly haircuts and air dry with layers of gels and mousses. It looks fine if done well. But if you want to look objectively more attractive, learn to blowout your own hair with some heat protectant. A good blowout should last 3-5 days.

Can you recommend a heat protectant?

Sleep is number one.

But the spray tan booths seem SO bad for your lungs....I worry about using them regularly.


I do it myself. So much cheaper. Just use the mousse one (St Tropez) with one of the application gloves. I have had so much practice now that it looks better than a spray tan

Women whose curly hair has thinned post menopause look older with it blown straight.


That's why I said smooth, loose curls, not straight.

I had filler (Restylane) done for the first time a few months ago, and I was very happy with the results. However, I started reading a lot of stories about how filler might look good at first, but eventually would migrate and look terrible. Now I'm not sure whether to continue with it. Can anyone weigh in on this?
. Can’t speak from personal experience however filler can migrate so I’d be careful. I wouldn’t do it.

PP again. I’m pretty sure I was prescribed this for high blood pressure. Is it used off label for acne or am I mistaken?
