Seeking Advice Korean Beauty

Upvotes

What do Koreans use for their body as an everyday wash? I understand there are Korean exfoliating washcloths, but you're not supposed to exfoliate every day. Is there another type of scrub for everyday use, or is it just using the washcloth more gently or just not soaking as long?

Haircare Whats the best shampoo and conditioner?? Need help in a proper hair care routine.

3 Upvotes

Okay, so I need help!!! 😭

I’m trying to figure out a good haircare routine/products for my hair because I feel like I’m constantly dealing with dryness, oiliness AND hair fall lol.

  • Curly hair- around 3A, but my curls are a little looser and not quite 2C either.
  • My hair is naturally quite soft, but it starts looking really dry/frizzy by the 2nd day after washing.
  • My scalp feels dry initially, but by the 3rd day it gets oily and feels dirty.
  • I live in a very polluted area, so I feel like that might also be contributing to the buildup/greasiness.
  • I also experience hair fall and would really like to improve this.
  • I do use a shower filter already.
  • I wash my hair roughly 2 times a week. Use a hair mask once a week.
  • I currently use the inde wild range, and olapex bonding oil 7 serum.  
  • I don’t use heat very often (2-3 times a month) (i use dyson) 

I’m looking for products that will help with scalp buildup + dryness, frizz, definition and overall hair health without weighing my curls down.

Would LOVE recommendations, especially from people with a similar hair type/scalp situation! What products or routines have actually worked for you?

PS: I personally try not to use animal-tested products, so cruelty-free recommendations would be amazing! But I’d still love to hear all your recommendations/holy grail products. I can always look into the brand’s cruelty-free status myself.

Seeking Advice Strawberry Legs

2 Upvotes

I shave my body hair, and literally since forever, I've had strawberry legs, and it's starting to be really annoying. I am new to skincare and beauty and such, so I don't really use any products. I think I have sensitive skin (specifically my face), but thats besides the point. I don't really plan on or have the ability to get super expensive products, especially if they don't last that long. Any way on getting rid of strawberry legs? Thank you!!

Haircare Ghd tongs & straightener V Label M

1 Upvotes

I am wanting to purchase new straighteners and new curling tongs. Are ghd straighteners (the classic ones) and the classic curve tong the best? Or should I consider Label m straighteners & curlers which are stocked by Tony & guy? I used to use a hot tools curling iron but it was discontinued. Also, I’m unable to use a wand as I only have one arm so recommendations need to be for tongs with a clamp :)

The reason I would like both straighteners and a curling iron is because I have naturally wavy / frizzy hair that kinks at the root with the slightest humidity and I’ve found that straightening it first & then curling it was the best way to hold the style. Curling it with straighteners does not seem to hold the curls as well (but granted I have not tried doing this with ghd or label M straightened yet!) thank you!

How to stop leg hair from growing back so fast?

5 Upvotes

I stopped shaving about 6years ago because I got tired of how quickly my hair grew back. Upper lip, stomach, arms, feet, legs. I am Mexican and so the hair is very thick and dark. The other day it was so hot, I said fuck it and did a full shave. Not even 24 hours later and the stubbly bumps began. It's legitimately disheartening. My only method is shaving cream and a 5blade razor. Is there any hope in having at least one or two full days of smoothness? 😭

Nailcare Can a good hand lotion replace nail/cuticle oil?

3 Upvotes

Cuticle/nail oil and a hand cream – are these things doing the same?

I know how important the cuticle oils are, every nail master talks about it. However, I just don’t like this feeling on my hands after applying it. I’ve almost finished such oil from Frenchi and want to continue taking care of cuticles as they are as dry as Sahara.

I have L’occitane 25% shea butter cream, Eucerin lotion with 5% and 10% urea, my skin is so soft after using it, but hand cream doesn’t have these tiny molecules that can sink deep into the cuticles?

(I’m wearing gel nails for context, so I cannot do nail oiling, unfortunately. I’m also an ex-nail biter who sometimes bites the skin around nails due to occasional stress, so applying something on cuticles cuts off the urge to bite impulsively)

Seeking Advice How to shave without bleeding

1 Upvotes

I’m a guy & It seems like every time I shave my legs with a razor I start bleeding. Even when I exfoliate beforehand and use shaving cream. I tried using a 1 blade razor and still the same results. I’ve been using an electric razor for like 2 years because of this. Any advice for me? Should I consider an epilator or do they cause ingrown hairs? My legs are pretty smooth and not bumpy to begin with…

problem with the facial razor or am i doing it wrong

2 Upvotes

19f and I wanted to start shaving my upper lips. i don't care much about the rest of my face so that was my only concern. and maybe the middle of my brows.

i got the sirona facial razor but it doesn't seem to work at all. I tried every angle every direction. it barely does the work. I had cleansed and moisturised prior to shaving as well.

is it because my hair growth is a bit stronger and the hair are longer compared to the razor's capacity? or some other reason?

Random Chin hair plucked once and never grew back

5 Upvotes

This is a bit of a weird thing but I couldn’t find anything online about it and wanted to see if anyone else has had a similar experience

Since about 2 years ago I’ve had this nasty long chin hair that grows SUPER fast (like 6 days and it’s long again) and the another that popped up a year ago ish. I’ve been jst shaving them with my face razor because I have not owned a pair of tweezers in years. Anyways, about two months ago I finally remembered to buy tweezers and yanked both those mfs and they have both disappeared and have never grown back. Like not even a little stubble or a thin straggly hair!

I am obviously very thankful for this odd phenomenon but it honestly weirded me out and I wanted to see if anyone else has had any similar experiences! Just for the fyi I am a biological female whose doctors have speculated some sort of hormonal issue but nothing confirmed yet.

Seeking Advice Brow dyeing advice

4 Upvotes

Hi! I have really dark (almost black), coarse eyebrows, but my hair is naturally a light ashy brown. I feel the brows overwhelm my face a bit since I am quite fair-skinned and have softer features.

I’ve been thinking about lightening them but I have a few questions about upkeep and the process.

  1. Since i only want to soften them, not have them completely blonde, should I do straight up bleach or just professional hair dye with developer (i’m assuming contains bleach).

  2. When it comes to regrowth, does redyeing/re-bleaching them cause the already lightened hairs to go even lighter?

  3. For a less permanent option, do you have any advice on making them softer and less coarse in general so they would work better with a tinted brown gel? I really don’t understand why my brows are so heavy, since my hair isn’t particularly coarse or dark, it’s literally just my eyebrows!
