I'm in . I bought a microfiber twisty hair towel that buttons on the back to keep it in place. After wearing this thing for about 20 minutes or even sleeping in it, talk about major root lift! I've g...

I've heard aloe vera makes a great hair gel. I've never tried it because a situation in which I'd want gel in my hair has yet to arise. But for those that do... It sure does. It also makes a good de...

^ Agreed. Wind and humidity on an 8 mile bike ride would wreak havoc on anyone's hair. Fix it at school.

That's pretty, ELM.   Wire, I've never heard of the chopstick technique. Thanks!

What a cool thread. Full of info!! I'll share, too. I dunno, maybe it could be useful?   I started taking BCPs when I was 13 and stopped taking them at 17 when I got married. The 4 years of BCP y...

^ Agree agree agree. Finger detangling rocks for curly hair.

It's been 9 months and I'm still photosensitive. Not as severe as when on Accutane (instant burning), but still sensitive. About 20 minutes of direct sun turns me pink and hurts. Some folks don't get ...

Yes. Your blackheads should fall out eventually. It's kind of gross and neat at the same time.

When you combine the two they cancel each other out. If you're applying one in the AM and then one in the PM you'll achieve maximum benefits, but it'll take awhile to see the results. Unfortunately, r...

Katie, I'm with you. I quit fighting my curls. Now I embrace 'em...most of the time.   I don't use much on my hair because it's usually up and out of the way. I use Dairy Whip shampoo (vanilla a...

Moderate/severe cystic acne sufferer for 12 years, 31, female, 115lb. (52kg). 1st month of Accutane: 40mg --- 2nd, 3rd, and 4th months: 60mg Course ended: mid-August 2008   I took antibiotics of...

Since you've named this thread Accutane Log and will keep updating it, I'm going to move it over to the log section.

^ Which part? This is a very long thread.    

Forbidden Rice Pudding   1 c. forbidden rice (glutenous black rice can be used as well) 3 1/2 c. water Sweetener of choice to equal 1/4 c. (add more if you like really sweet stuff) pinch of salt ...

And drinking lots of water.

Good luck with it. I know what you mean. Scared!

I hate getting a haircut just because I love my long hair and they almost always cut too much off. I get my haircut maybe 1 time a year and it takes me about 2 months to talk myself into getting it d...

They still came like clockwork, but the consistency was thicker and the cramps were more painful. I chalk it up to the body needing more water. Everything is back to normal now that the course is over...

If it worries you, contact your dermatologist.

I'm a big supporter of retinoids. It's a very slow acting topical though and patience really is a virtue with this stuff. Are you on any kind of bp regimen for day use? I'm assuming you're using retin...

Padme, it could be age as well. The older I get, the more short tempered I become. I just can't deal with stupid BS like I used to because I realize life is too short to deal with such crap, know what...

Well there ya go.

I totally understand these! Myself and another regular on here had these same symptoms. Even if I didn't literally yell, I sure blessed some folks out in my head. Biting my tongue became the norm. I w...

*hug* It's such a pain and I empathize with you.   I had cystic acne for 12 years. I'm finally clear and...wow...I can't explain the good feeling, but I'm also scared. I'm always thinking it'll ...

Is Solydyn the same as generic minocycline? I get why it's more expensive (new med), but how much more effective can it be than the generic stuff? Enough to warrant that $500 price tag? The only dif...
