What perm?

I’m sorry. It looks like they just didn’t do it right, or your hair texture doesn’t take to perms well. Looks more like stylist error though. Same thing happened to me. I got a perm and you couldn’t even really tell I got anything and it fell out in no time. Went to a different person and now have wild curls that I want rid of but they won’t leave! lol. I’d go back and ask for a refund. I would not get another perm this soon for sure.

Did you get it wet? Brush it? Anything you could have done?

I can see only one solution for you, get it all shaved off and start again with nice abnd strong regrowth

Don't sweat it. There are more important things in life.

You probably are handling it too much after washing. Go visit the curly hair sub!

Get it all detangled in the shower, with conditionaer and a wide tooth comb. Squeeze out excess water, and saturate it with a nice moisturizing leave in conditioner. You could also and a little gel and/or (some folks mix them) curl cream. Then just let it dry undisturbed, in the curls, do not blow dry it unless you use low heat and a diffuser (but air drying will look better even though it takes longer).

If your curls look too stiff when they are dry, just squeeze them in you hand to break the cast. Do not comb or brush them.

I would let the stylist know and see if there's anything that can be done. Menopause is brutal on hair, my sympathies to you.

If your hair is fine and she has sold you heavy buttery products they are weighing down your curls. I'd try the most normal products you generally use and see if curls are back. Fine hair needs lightweight products

Thanks for the great insight there

Have you put any products after washing it? You could try using hair mousse. It'll maintain the wet hair look.

Noooo it looks real good actually

You looking amazing 🤤😍😘❤️👍🏻🥰

maybe

It looks good after the first wash. I was expecting to see tight curls, but you didn't make a mistake.

did you have any color services done between your last perm and this one?

Did you wash it after perming?

Definitely do NOT bleach or color your hair rn. It will cook from the inside out and will melt your hair. What you can do is get a deep conditioner and use it a few times a week. Aussie has a decent one worth trying to see if it can help your texture soften up

Like that you're a Ghost fan.

Perming hair can be tricky. Triming (cut) the ends of your hair and using a good conditioner will help get your hair healthy again.

Try Spinfit CP155 (basically tallest/longest singleflange silicone ear tips on the market), it will allow your IEMs to protrude a bit and this can help with fit/seal and comfort.

You can also try Spinfit W1, just note the bass reduction, etc.

Try Spinfit W1, FiiO HS18, AZLA SednaEarfit XELASTEC, Dunu S&S, etc. ear tips for possibly better fit/seal, noise reduction/isolation, and comfort.

The dimensions/sizing/measurements/etc. for most ear tips these days will be on Amazon/AliExpress/HiFiGo/etc. Unfortunately you have to blind buy the ear tips in order to get a feel for the dimensions/measurement/etc. that you like for your ears. Remember, this will also change with different IEMs as they'll have different nozzle length, nozzle angle, and so on.

Click this sentence for more info on the importance of ear tips sizing, dimensions, et cetera.

This is how you should use Etymotics or really any IEM or TWS earbud to make sure you have that good/perfect fit for that vacuum seal (necessary for the bass to be properly produced): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8KwXEqe6Gq4

Before inserting the IEMs, make sure your jaw is as open as it can be and then you can also pull on the top of the ear with the other hand before you insert the IEM. Just wiggle it a bit to find the best comfort/fit for you, don't forget the seal for that underwater feeling or occlusion effect. Especially with foam ear tips, make sure to compress them as much as you can before inserting them inside the ears.

For new IEMs near guaranteed to be comfortable, look into something like the Sennheiser IE 200 I mentioned above in those threads. Or try bullet style IEMs like KZ Ling Long, Tanchjim Zero, Etymotics, Final Audio E500-E5000, etc. For bullet style IEMs, they mainly rely on the ear tips, so it doesn't really touch your ears.

Click this sentence for more info on AZLA SednaEarfit XELASTECs and foam ear tips durability and sound changes.

Click this sentence for comfort and everything with ear tips.

Click this sentence for how to put ear tips on wide nozzles (basically aim it at different angles and force it, be careful not to overdo it as it can damage the core/stem/stalk/etc. of the ear tips).

Alternatively, you can use the UTWS3/5 TWS adapters and its bigger battery side as counterweight for that earhook comfort. Might be out of budget though.

If you're using TWS adapters (makes IEMs and headphones wireless) like the FiiO UTWS3/5, and you need to use the MMCX/2-pin/etc. adapters/converters, then some IEMs like Sennheiser IE 200 will be loose and prone to falling off. And so the longer/taller ear tips emphasize this issue. For the IE 200, you can likely tape the MMCX ports so that it doesn't rotate as much and this can help solve the weight/etc. imbalance issue due to the angles and weight of the adapters/converters.

Keep in mind that some IEMs are really heavy or like the MMCX ports will allow it to rotate so freely that it makes the IEMs more likely to drop on the floor.

So yes, just don't move too fast or watch how you move your head as certain angles can make the IEMs fall off when they're significantly protruding from your ears due to the Spinfit CP155 or other tall/long ear tips.

I usually have this scary falling off problem when standing up or picking up something on the floor, but this can be somewhat mitigated if you have proper ear tips for the IEMs or deeply insert them.

I use my IEMs basically nonstop or without a single removal (don't be like me, always take breaks every 30 minutes or 1 hour) from my ears for 7 hours or so (because I use them in conjunction with the FiiO UTWS3/5 TWS adapters, and the battery life runs out, lol). So comfort is key. A lot of other people will wear IEMs for only several minutes at a time or only a few hours though and so that's why you don't really see people mention comfort. Usually IEMs will immediately tell you within say 10 minutes if they're gonna have long term comfort issues but ya it really depends on your ears.

So yes I feel you, I always listen to full albums too, I never really skip a track even if it's not my favorite song. I literally just keep the songs playing even if it's not cohesive/etc.

Anyway, point is that you probably have to get new IEMs as some outer shell designs are just not made for smaller ears, etc.

But definitely try Spinfit CP155, it's like $10 only, worth a try if the protrusion makes a difference.

If you're gonna use headphones because you want to give up on IEMs, just be aware of the headphones comfort issues too, lol.

For comfort with headphones, if you have a big head, ear piercings, glasses, et cetera, basically anything that will interfere with the seal/fit of the earpads, here's more info about headphones and glasses and workarounds it: https://www.reddit.com/r/HeadphoneAdvice/comments/zkjjcu/are_there_any_headsetsphones_that_are/j00kjt2/

I always know when I have a great seal, cus the tips turn themselves inside out when I take them out. People complain about that happening? NO IT'S GOOD. Another thing I always do is lick my lips then kiss /moisten the tips, they just slide in easily then so you don't have to force them, which can bruise the inner ear.... Just read that back and it sounds a bit rude!!! Apologies .

do smaller eartips help?

I don't know much about this stuff I'll be honest, but sednaearfit xelastec tips are the best ear tips I've personally ever used. They conform to the shape of your ear over time. Only two cons: they get dirty very easily, and they cost $20 for two pairs.

try different eartips size AND different ear tip shape or brands. some tips have deeper or shallower fits so find the one that suits you, I would suggest spinfit cp100+ or spinfit w1

It's almost never a bad filament as long as it's dry.

Clean your bed with soap and water and do not touch it after you clean it. I use Dawn dish soap and it’s great.

Then make sure your bed is level, idk what leveling is like for your machine. (I have the SV06+Ace and an SV07+). After you get it level, I give the table a couple of taps then check again.

I’ve got PLA that been in my garage open for the last 6 months or so. But everything usually prints fine. So I doubt that is the issue if you’re printing PLA.

The next thing would be to lower/raise the nozzle when printing. Until it looks good. There are a lot of test print files to help determine that.

Other than that, my only suggestion would be, try Orca Slicer with the default SV06 machine and see if it’s better. My SV07 runs way better from Orca than it did with Cura. Plus Orca has a bunch of sweet options that aren’t available in Cura. Like mouse ears!

Good Luck!!!

Calibrate everything. Clean your bed.

I relate so much to this 😔I just feel like I'm not made for this at all... I also deal with ocd and dissociation too, which makes it worse. Everyone seems to know how to handle things, while I just feel so unexperienced at everything. I'm really sorry you are dealing with this.

Did you hack my brain??? We should be friends. We can be good at being bad together.

Seriously. You ARE NOT ALONE.

same, god, i try so so hard to make good choices but it's always the wrong one no matter what so now i'm scared to make any decisions at all because it will just be wrong. no career, nothing to my name, nothing to call mine, no achievements, nothing.

Most people hate me. Cause I dont fit into there mold. I can't, Idk why. I just cant follow others lead like that. And I get bashed for it and banned. Humans hate me and I get it. And I would still let them fly the flesh from my bone while im breathing if it meant the end of human suffering. And im not kidding.

If a god gave me that option. I wouldn't even think about it. My life is meaningless and if it can gain meaning by helping others im trying to do that. I hand out narcan on the weekends or if I see a homeless fella ill give them a $5 with some narcan. Most accept and are really nice about it. Others have hit or attacked me for it.

Oh my god did I write this? But seriously it’s really shit isn’t it?! Try so hard, all the time, seem like it’s going ok, then either a health crisis, family crisis or just plain old CPTSD flare and it’s all just overwhelming again.

Currently got all three concurrently and today has been a freeze kind of day. I feel like I’m failing my partner and kids but I just can’t shake it off anymore, not even for them.

AuDHD also….the delayed processing is a real sob too.
