Women only trans inclusive This is an inclusive community for all things women. Whether you're here for make up tips, feminism or just friendly chit chat, we've got you covered.

Rules…

  1. Women only… trans women are women, and transphobic or gender critical talk isn’t allowed. Anyone under the trans umbrella (e.g. non-binary, bigender, agender) is free to decide whether a women's community is a good fit for them.
  2. Don’t be a dick. No personal attacks, no aggression, play nice.
  3. Don’t hate on groups, hatefilled talk about groups is not allowed. Ever.
  4. No governmental politics, so no talk of Trump actions etc. We recommend Feminism@beehaw.org for that, but here is an escape from it.
  5. New accounts or users with few comments may have their posts removed to prevent spam and bad-faith participation.

I've got wavy hair so it's quite forgiving - I wash it once or twice a week with just hot water and lots of combing with my hands - then wash my hands off the oil and repeat 2-3 times.

I only use shampoo when I get something really small and deeply absorbed in it - like if I've been near an open fire and my hair smells really smoky - otherwise I avoid shampoo as it dries out my scalp and gives me dandruff

it's weird how your hair is really oily at first but then it just kind of adjusts and stays at a baseline - random people still comment that my hair looks nice so I don't think it's noticeable
