What's the difference?

Hair is more fragile when wet. Once it's wet, it breaks the hydrogen bonds and becomes more elastic and malleable. We want this when we're ready to shape it into a style, and it's necessary when cleansing the scalp, but we -don't- want this when we're pulling on it to de-knot-ify it!

However; hair is also the strongest when it's -not- dry, aka. hydrated, moisturized, conditioned, and manageable.

Detangle hair dry, but don't detangle dry hair

Because the scalp produces sebum regularly which is a kind of oil, your shampoo requires a detergent which activates with water to break down that oil so that it can mix with water and rinse away.

These can include "sulfates" as well as other cleansing agents.

Shampoo should be rinsed and repeated with focus on the scalp until its effectively clean, and all the oils are removed.

Typically clean wet hair has an almost squeaky, rubbery feel.

It is well known that oil and water don't mix. Your scalp produces a kind of oil, sebum, on a regular daily basis.

If you've ever done 3rd grade science experiments, you might remember that day you took water and olive oil and added a drop of soap.

Soap activates with water to break down the oil and mix the two together so that you can remove the oil from your scalp.

Wash your hair with shampoo regularly to avoid sebum build-up which can lead to fungal infections.

#cosomovies Die Hard is a Christmas movie, right?

#cosomovies Happy Holidays, coso!

#cosomovies
Tonight's movie is Earnest Saves Christmas!
It's a classic nostalgia watch

I'm so amused that the guy who auto tracks #elonmusk 's jet just moved to #Facebook after his #twitter got blocked 😆. I don't even care where he is, but the fact that it bothers him makes me giggle.
I'm a petty bitch. I know it.

Monkeybone is tonight's movie. Brandon Fraiser in his prime. It's gotta be good.

Just watching old school TMNT tonight with my cat.

Game night! I'm a fan of drawing my characters. It helps me figure out who they are and how they should act on game.

And of course, in the name of Tradition, no Thanksgiving is complete without watching Adams Damily Values.

The only #Thanksgiving movie

Enjoying a lovely view this morning as I sip some coffee. Letting #gratitude sink in:
for the accomplishments I've made this far,
the teamwork that supported me getting here,
the growth I've gone through as a person,
the decisions I've made,
the mentors and teachers that saw potential in me,
the partners that lifted me up through my low points,
the chosen family that sticks by my side,
the wisdom I have to make good decisions,
the strength I have to follow through,
the magic I have followed

I'm so glad Bill Nye started another show. I love learning new science.

It sounds like I missed a #pizza war (I'll weigh in on coffee war later).

But it reminds me of the time I went to Italy, we found a video game pizza bar just outside Florence.

And this pizza didn't know how to evenly distribute the topings... at all.

So if there's a contender for the worst pizza, I'd like to submit this one I had in 2018.

Whoever said Italy had the best pizza needs to be specific 😆
