I did try a caffeine shampoo a while ago but didn't see much difference but please can you learn to use anD instead of an?
Sorry my dyslexia bothered you, maybe if my school had cared AND helped me then my grammar wouldn't be so bad 🙄🙄 it's a struggle in life enough

don’t apologise - it was clear what you meant and isn’t a big deal anyway 💙

Thanks, I know my grammar is tit, it's hard enough trying to read then type on a white background when it just all appears mixed up to me

Has anyone tried any of those shampoos that's supposed to be great for hair growth? An have they worked? Or is there anything else I can do to help growth?

My hair seems to have slowed down, I got colours in it a while ago an preferably it would be best that it all just got chopped off due to how much a risk it was in the first place with my skin condition an how sensitive I am, the colours were started a little bit further down to keep away from my scalp an right now it would be too short for my liking if I cut it the now so hoping there's a way to speed up growth a bit
You could try a biotin and zinc supplement x

Not a problem as such but I was thinking of doing one of those DNA things to find out my ancestry. Has anyone here done one? What did you find out? Are there any downsides to doing it?

I'd say one of the downside is the potential for data breach with those services when it's such sensitive data they hold, like 23andme had.

The downside is they sell your DNA so if you’re concerned about stuff like that don’t do it.
I did My Heritage and Ancestry. It’s interesting to me and I found out I’m half Portuguese! Had no idea. But I’m from South Africa so there’s limited availability for me in terms of seeing connections etc

I’m quite dark skinned considering what we knew of my heritage so always thought there could be something interesting there. Nope, I am as white British, apparently northern, as it gets 🤣 The most interesting it gets is some Italian and Norwegian 8 or so generations ago, it was rather disappointing tbh.

We did know my parent had a half sister they’d never met overseas and they’ve come up along with their child and grandchild. No contact has been made but it’s interesting to have found them on Facebook and see faces that share family resemblances. Apart from that it’s fun to see how genetics affects a bunch of silly things like how likely you are to have had hair at birth or if it bleaches in the sun.
I personally wouldn’t want the serious health information though - how likely you are to get cancer or whatever it tells you - not from a service like these.

Definitely don’t pay for the “health” information. That is a load of rubbish. Basically just a money making scheme

Tell her about the lovely presents you got from your other friends.

If someone seems uninterested whenever you have ethnic hairstyles and not straight hair would you say they don’t like you at all? Gone on a few dates and he can’t even look at me when I have natural textured hair.

Clearly he likes you if he’s still going on dates. But that is a hella weird hangup to have if you date someone

Aside from that does everything else go well? I mean it does seem weird about the hair but in general are there any red flags or does he seem fine?

If there doesn't seem to be any other red flags or weird behaviour then maybe he's just strange about hair, but I do agree with above that it seems a strange thing to have
