Yes....mine has been "relaxed" for the past couple of years but I'm seriously thinking of stopping that and wearing it natural again.

AHA! That explains one-a-ya.

I was starting to wonder if women have a different definition of curly. :wacko:

I say go natural!

Is Alex honeymooning? Did we hear where? I should recall this ... ..

but what about our founder, Richard? Is he left-handed and curly-haired? I must pm him with this urgent query.............

Yes, we must find out King Ree-shard's stats, stat!

My sista! :D

Patti said sista :lol:

I once had my hair "relaxed", or tried to....emphasis on tried. It was the 80s and all my friends had long straight locks, one of them talked me into going in and getting it straightened. I didn't know they did such a thing, had my mom make an appt and went in. The hairdresser explained they put the perm solution in and brush it through until it's staight and then let it set a little bit. My hair is very thick too, so after about an hour I could see the frustration in the hairdresser's eyes as he was only 1/3 through :lol: Long story short, he finished, I went home with noticeably smoother hair, washed it a few days later and it was back to curly :rolleyes:

If my hair wasn't as thick, I would probably straighten it too Patti, but I understand tiring of it (the cost, the damage it does to the hair...) There is something freeing about going with what god gave ya :lol:

I'm something of an anomoly, and I fit no pat formula - - HATE maths, poker-straight hair, southpaw.

How about Alex? Yes, we don't know about our founding King, either...

They gotta be weirdo lefties...... :lol:

:lol::lol:

Ummmm.......naturally?.......wellll......I have a confession....... :unsure:

You threw a curveball in this theory :lol::lol::lol:

80's!!!! Why them was BIG HAIR DAYS. Everyone was getting perms so they could have BIG HAIR. What were you doing listening to your friends . . . you should have told them to all get perms!!!! Which leads to . . . OK, so maybe I was curly . . . for about a decade. :lol::lol:

:lol: Mr Chow

I was only in 6th or 7th grade at the time....11 or 12 yrs old......very early 80s, none of my friends were perming at the time, still straight long 70s-ish hairstyles going around.

I had the BIG HAIR thing down though, fo sho :lol:

:o WHAT? now she tells us......it's FAKE curly.......well this throws off our scientific "accuracy" quite a bit :lol:

AHEM!....I think the term "creative" is more appropo(sp?) ^_^

um, no, I think WEIRDO is the correct term in these parts :lol:

There is something freeing about going with what god gave ya :lol:

Reminds me of an epiphany I once had (have I told you guys this already? :ph34r: ), driving on highway 152 through Los Banos (Tom may know this most BORING, long, flat, endless heinous stretch of ugly road through flat, stinky dairy and farmlands - miles of literally nothing) and left alone w/ my dingo thoughts.......I glanced over into a car next to me and saw this lady, maybe in her sixties.....she had solid white hair, forming a frizzy, puffball halo 'round her head, 'twas perhaps two inches in length.

And - this thought flashed into my mind: at what point do we just give up, just let our hair revert to its hideous, willful, default state? At what point do we just give into our slovenly old age, quash our vanity.....quit the coloUr, the styling, the blow-drying, the products, all of it, and let it GO? Let it turn solid gray/white, spazz out, go its own way......... :blink::lol:

nevah, I tell you, NEVAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :P :P <at least, not with MY hair :angry: >

OMG - I'll never forget the reaalllllllly bad perm I got once - - a man (my friend's FIL) actually told me I looked like a witch....... :huh:

Can't wait until Nicola arises and puts in her tuppence about all of this :lol:

And where's Bev? Hope she's feeling better and not worse.....

There are still salons that use the reverse perm--the girl that does mine uses a relaxer designed for fine hair but it's still very strong and does cause some breakage. Plus, she's in NJ, so it's an hour drive--but I don't think I'd trust anyone else to do it.

I've been growing it out--and the problem is that the new growth is curly and the rest is straight.....kinda half and half at this point. :P I've been blowing it straight, but I'm just getting tired of the whole thing and with the humid weather about to hit.....

I just have to suck it up, go in and have it cut.....jeeze, you'd think I was looking at major surgery or sumphin' :lol:

Where is Nikki to explain this entertaining Britishism? Oh...she'd be in bed, as it is 2:25 am across the pond.

For some quaint reason particular to UK English, the shortened form of "mathematics" is pluralized - - "maths". Actually, it makes more sense that way, really..."mathematics" is plural....you never hear about studying one mathematic, now, do you?

This has been a good time for me to be busy and unable to post much today, as the subject of hair leaves me nothing interesting or humourous to contribute. Got boring, straight, brown hair. Did big-time perms until about ten years ago. Susie, that unforgettable visage that flashed before your eyes on the freeway is me in 2050.....

Actually....it might have been my dad.... <_<:lol:

      I do not know this, but since they are labelled gluten-free, and are not really a product that could easily be contaminated when making them (there would be not flour in the air of such a facility, for example), I don't really see contamination as something to be concerned about for this type of product.

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      @Jane02, I hear you about the kale and collard greens.  I don't do dairy and must eat green leafies, too, to get sufficient calcium.  I must be very careful because some calcium supplements are made from ground up crustacean shells.  When I was deficient in Vitamin D, I took high doses of Vitamin D to correct the deficiency quickly.  This is safe and nontoxic.  Vitamin D level should be above 70 nmol/L.  Lifeguards and indigenous Pacific Islanders typically have levels between 80-100 nmol/L.   Levels lower than this are based on amount needed to prevent disease like rickets and osteomalacia. We need more thiamine when we're physically ill, emotionally and mentally stressed, and if we exercise like an athlete or laborer.  We need more thiamine if we eat a diet high in simple carbohydrates.  For every 500 kcal of carbohydrates, we need 500-1000 mg more of thiamine to process the carbs into energy.  If there's insufficient thiamine the carbs get stored as fat.  Again, recommended levels set for thiamine are based on minimum amounts needed to prevent disease.  This is often not adequate for optimum health, nor sufficient for people with absorption problems such as Celiac disease.  Gluten free processed foods are not enriched with vitamins like their gluten containing counterparts.  Adding a B Complex and additional thiamine improves health for Celiacs.  Thiamine is safe and nontoxic even in high doses.  Thiamine helps the mitochondria in cells to function.  Thiamine interacts with each of the other B vitamins.  They are all water soluble and easily excreted if not needed. Interesting Reading: Clinical trial: B vitamins improve health in patients with coeliac disease living on a gluten-free diet https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/19154566/ Safety and effectiveness of vitamin D mega-dose: A systematic review https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34857184/ High dose dietary vitamin D allocates surplus calories to muscle and growth instead of fat via modulation of myostatin and leptin signaling https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/38766160/ Safety of High-Dose Vitamin D Supplementation: Secondary Analysis of a Randomized Controlled Trial https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/31746327/ Vitamins and Celiac Disease: Beyond Vitamin D https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC11857425/ Investigating the therapeutic potential of tryptophan and vitamin A in modulating immune responses in celiac disease: an experimental study https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/40178602/ Investigating the Impact of Vitamin A and Amino Acids on Immune Responses in Celiac Disease Patients https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC10814138/

      Thank you so much @knitty kitty for this insightful information! I would have never considered fractionated coconut oil to be a potential source of GI upset. I will consider all the info you shared. Very interesting about the Thiamine deficiency.  I've tracked daily averages of my intake in a nutrition software. The only nutrient I can't consistently meet from my diet is vitamin D. Calcium is a hit and miss as I rely on vegetables, dark leafy greens as a major source, for my calcium intake. I'm able to meet it when I either eat or juice a bundle of kale or collard greens daily haha. My thiamine intake is roughly 120% of my needs, although I do recognize that I may not be absorbing all of these nutrients consistently with intermittent unintentional exposures to gluten.  My vitamin A intake is roughly 900% (~6400 mcg/d) of my needs as I eat a lot of sweet potato, although since it's plant-derived vitamin A (beta-carotene) apparently it's not likely to cause toxicity.  Thanks again!

      Hello, @Jane02,  I take Naturewise D 3.  It contains olive oil.   Some Vitamin D supplements, like D Drops, are made with fractionated coconut oil which can cause digestive upsets.  Fractionated coconut oil is not the same as coconut oil used for cooking.  Fractionated coconut oil has been treated for longer shelf life, so it won't go bad in the jar, and thus may be irritating to the digestive system. I avoid supplements made with soy because many people with Celiac Disease also react to soy.  Mixed tocopherols, an ingredient in Thornes Vitamin D, may be sourced from soy oil.  Kirkland's has soy on its ingredient list. I avoid things that might contain or be exposed to crustaceans, like Metagenics says on its label.  I have a crustacean/shellfish/fish allergy.  I like Life Extension Bioactive Complete B Complex.  I take additional Thiamine B 1 in the form Benfotiamine which helps the intestines heal, Life Extension MegaBenfotiamine. Thiamine is needed to activate Vitamin D.   Low thiamine can make one feel like they are getting glutened after a meal containing lots of simple carbohydrates like white rice, or processed gluten free foods like cookies and pasta.   It's rare to have a single vitamin deficiency.  The water soluble B Complex vitamins should be supplemented together with additional Thiamine in the form Benfotiamine and Thiamine TTFD (tetrahydrofurfuryl disulfide) to correct subclinical deficiencies that don't show up on blood tests.  These are subclinical deficiencies within organs and tissues.  Blood is a transportation system.  The body will deplete tissues and organs in order to keep a supply of thiamine in the bloodstream going to the brain and heart.   If you're low in Vitamin D, you may well be low in other fat soluble vitamins like Vitamin A and Vitamin K. Have you seen a dietician?
