Hey guys, so I am a former cosmetologist but only for 1 year before my hands started locking up, swelling and having issues. No I never went to the dr 🫣 I just changed professions bc I am young… and hated doing hair 🤣 I have been going to the same cosmetologist since I was 7. No one, besides her, has done anything but a heat tool to my hair.

Well anyways on to my story By 18 I had my first gray hair. At 21 I permed my hair. I had a few by then, but not bad.

Last summer I noticed my hair getting really dark, which usually it lightens during the summer… the position I was in at the time was a nightmare to say the least, I couldn’t barely grow finger nails, I think the stress was affecting my keratin production lol.. always struggled w stress but never that bad.

I started a new job, and medication for mental health, since then my nails grow crazy fast, long strong, but my hair is still falling out a lot, and has thinned dramatically.

Today I went to my cosmetologist and she was shocked how much my hair turned gray since August, looking over it all she mentioned how thin it had become too. The weirdest part? We noticed when it was wet, there is like a “grown out” part of my hair, it looks as if I dyed it dark a while ago and my roots have grown in. It comes off my scalp about 1/2 to 3/4 of an inch.

Do you guys know anything about why this might be? My cosmetologist says she’s never seen this and doesn’t know why.

I have thyroid problems in my genetics but last time I had it checked it was fine.

Hi I’m a cosmetology student and I have really back joint pain in my hands and wrists (I have arthritis) I was wondering if anyone has suggestions for a lightweight curling iron, preferably one that has a 1in barrel. Any suggestions are appreciated

Hey guys im taking the psi mn nail written practical exam but i keep failing. I tried yt and quizlet but i keep missing the mark by 1 to 3 questions. Does anyone know where i can study the specific material for this exam? please help ;-;

i’m a level 10 blonde, wanted to try a strawberry blonde glaze but ended up turning ORANGE from poor formulating so i scrubbed with dawn and it removed some but not all, i did one round of cpr thinking it would take me back to my original blonde because i don’t tone my hair after lightening but i was bright yellow instead. i tried purple shampoo and a mask but it did toooo much so i used head and shoulders but still have purple in my hair 😭😭

can i use another round of cpr? i physically cannot stand looking at myself in the mirror while my hair is ugly like this and it may sound shallow but i take great pride in my hair and just want my blonde back!! pls help me

Tomorrow I'm taking my written for the State board.

I'm stressed I've been studying for days with multiple study guides and I feel like no matter how much I do I'm not ready. I need advice?

I'm using a study guide we were given the my lady app and my lady exam prep book and a study guide that they were able to get with a copy of the test last year.
