oh - and those little bumps people are talking about on the backs of your arms and legs? those respond very well to virgin coconut oil. exfoliate first with soap and water - or just water - and then put on VCO while your skin is slightly damp. if you do this everyday for 2 weeks they will either be gone or much diminished.
epsom salts baths help this too.

for the depuffing, your best bet is to sleep with another pillow, if possible. or you could try a firmer one. there will be no puffiness to get rid of if you keep your head elevated.

i use a hand-me-down wigo jade straightener. i use some k-pak straightening balm for protection (before i dry it) and i also use redken's fabricate (3) spray before i straighten. the spray also has heat-activated memory. if you need to restraighten or touch-up, you don't need any more product.

and like everyone else said, invest in a decent straighteneer. it makes a world of difference.

I sleep on a feather pillow - it is up pretty high generally because I can't stand low pillows.

It isn't a daily occurrence.. I think I'm dehydrated a lot or something :(
 
need some advice about my hair

So basically I have really thick hair that is also quite curly, the best way I could describe it is its like Peter MacNicol from Ally Mcbeals hair, http://msnbcmedia3.msn.com/j/msnbc/Components/Photos/060710/060710_macnicol_vsmall2p.widec.jpg

I've pretty much had a number 2 full head shave for years which suited me well but I want to try something new and have a more stylish haircut.

I've been growing it for about 6 weeks or so and i'm hoping people could suggest some hair styles or what products to put in it?
 
I'm going to merge this with the girly thread and you could get some more responses in there.

The girly thread definitely isn't just for girls anymore! :)
 
i love VCO for everything. recently i have been reading about the wonders of sesame oil. anyone here use it for their skin, hair, internally? how about olive oil?
has anyone here tried the Miracle Whip Exfoliating Facial? it is amazing for my 48 year old skin. i mean you put miracle whip on your skin (a thin layer) and leave it on for 10 - 15 minutes and then start rubbing your skin in circles and tons of dead skin comes off. just make sure you rub for long enough to rub it all off - it may take a while. when i do this a couple of times a week my skin is perfect and my fine lines are gone. it also seems to firm up your skin and it looks very soft and smooth. all in all a miracle!
 
after some research, i am actually sitting here with miracle whip on my face.

hmph.

if i was smart, i would have taken a before and after. if the change is substantial, i will at least post an "after".
 
I used mayonnaise on my hair before, but never on my face, as I am quite oily already! haha. The mayonnaise on hair thing worked though, my hair was veryyy soft after.

Haven't done it in a decade though.
 
hmmm ratgirl, i like your review, it sounds exciting... i pay 100 bucks for facials at the spa and get all excited with that ooey nastiness that gets buzzed off....basically the vinegar acts as a AHA, should work, i can't wait to try! keep up updated poops.
 
I know I'm not the only one reading this that just thought "Hmm...I have Miracle Whip in the fridge..." LOL

I'm seriously thinking about giving it a try though...
 
the miracle whip thing actually works better for me than anything else i have tried before. it could be however that since i am 48 i have more skin that needs to be exfoliated LOL - but before i started using WV i was a regular user of either sea salt/sugar mixed in VCO. the miracle whip is much less rough and it takes way more skin off. just make sure you leave it on at least 12 minutes and make sure that you rub long enough to get all the old skin off. if there are still shiny spots you haven't rubbed it all off. it takes a while - but it is worth it! also, if you really rub it all off there will be no smell of MV left - because it is all soaked into the skin that is ready to come off.....
let me know what you think of this mask - because i have tried everything before this - clay masks, eggs, expensive natural masks, clinique...... and this stupid simple thing works better than them all - LOL
OH - mayonaise won't do the exfoliation thing for some reason - it has to be regular miracle whip! weird, huh? it is something in the way they put the ingredients together. i tried mixing up several different versions myself and none of them worked anywhere near as good.... because i hate miracle whip and never eat it - but now i put it on my face - LOL

i tried it last night, and not only was my face soft as hell, it looks great. even the hubby noticed a massive difference.
big thumbs up!

although, i didn't notice any skin rubbing off, it just came off like a cream. but def closed up the pores and made me shiny and pretty
 
So is that Miracle Whip thing just for people with dry skin? I have half really really oily skin, then half dry skin. Can I still do it without getting a bunch of zits afterwards?

let us know how long you notice a difference :)
 
when you do the miracle whip facial thing - just make sure to keep it on at least 12 - 15 minutes and then start rubbing in circles. keep rubbing until some skin peels off - or at least the miracle whip rubs off in little balls. the more you rub the more will come off. the first time i did it i didn't rub long enough - it does take a lot of rubbing....
let me know if you try it
 
I tried something like smooth away years ago and it didn't really work. It's basically like sandpaper in a little mit. :\
