Okay, the voice of authority is speaking here. I know exactly what you're going through. Although my NMom would complain plenty about my hair, she never offered a single word of advice or help.

But never fear, I will eagerly impart to you all the knowledge I have acquired!

First, set aside your brush for the moment. If you have dry curly hair, brushing can be the worst thing you can do. It will only make thing worse.

Second, identify your hair hair type. In your case, your hair is likely dry or sun-damaged. Look for that type on the bottle of shampoo before you purchase it. You want a gentle shampoo that does not strip your hair of its precious oils. And guard against the tendency towards self-hatred you might have as the child of an N and don't overwash or overscrub because you think you are dirty or bad. You're not. Treat your hair gently; our curly or kinky hair is among the most fragile and can break easily.

Likewise find a conditioner that reflects your hair type. Coconut oil conditioners and shampoos are good ones, but go onto Amazon and find shampoos and conditioners that are both cheap and highly rated (the two do not need to be mutually exclusive) I like Dessert Essences coconut shampoo and conditioner.

Make sure you work the conditioner gently through your hair with your fingers. And then let the shower water rinse it out without you doing anythingmore than running your fingers through it. This will detangle it on it the spot and you won't need to comb it when you get out of the shower. When you do get out of the shower, bend forward, and let your hair come forward (if you have long or longer hair) and then in that position, wrap and towel around your still detangled hair. The towel will soak up the excess water.

Now comes the magic.

You use a de-frizzing product. Yup. They exist.

I would have Hermione hair without one simple product Now this may not be the exact one for you, but for me it's the best.

What it does is coat the hair in a some sort of silicone stuff, so your hair, when dry, is instantly silky. At the same time, it adds a little weight to your hair so it is no longer fly-away, fluffy or sticky-out-y.

Use a small amount on damp hair, maybe the size of a dime in the palm of your hand. Rub your palms together so you have product on both hands, and work it gently through your hair, making sure you are moving your hands down towards the ends of your hair. If you use too much you'll know it because your hair will be lank and greasy feeling in a day or two. You'll probably have to feel your way to the right amount and will make a few mistakes at first. ETA: TO BE PERFECTLY CLEAR, DO NOT WASH THIS PRODUCT OUT. This stays in your hair.

That's it. DO NOT BLOW DRY. You and I cannot do that. Maybe you'll want to put the towel back on.

The next day if you want to comb it, use a comb like this one Okay, that one's expensive but 1) it's wide tooth and 2) the ends of its teeth are rounded so they don't scratch your scalp or cut into any hair.

But my guess is that that you will not need to always reach for a comb, that running your fingers through your now silky silicone treated hair will be more than enough.

When you do go back to brushing don't use brushes with boar brush or plastic-y nylon brush on them, splurge and get a good one like this one It has wood tines/bristles that glide through your hair and don't tug and saw at it, the way brushy brushes do. They also stimulate, not scratch the scalp.

If as the days progress you feel things are getting too fly away, you can rub a very very very small amount of melted coconut oil between your palms and rub it through your hair. That will bring things back under your control.

I've tried to make these pearls of wisdom as uni-sex as possible, i.e. for both long and short hair, but if you have any questions let me know. Fly away hair is the worse, it makes you feel so not up to facing the day!

I used to have fairly oily skin but I've had really good luck with managing it with a skin care routine of just:

  1. a konjac sponge in the shower (run it under the water until it's soft, then scrub your face all over with that). My roommate uses his with facial soap, but I use mine just with the sponge on its own, so you can use it either way. I use the linked brand and buy it at my local natural foods store, but there are lots of options available on Amazon too. This is the part I would recommend the most--it does an amazing job at gently exfoliating the dead skin away and helping normalize the oily and dry parts. Just make sure to moisturize afterwards and you should be great.

  2. witch hazel with a cotton ball as toner morning and night (try to get Thayer's brand if you can, but just try to find a brand that doesn't put alcohol in it because that will be very drying to your skin and will up the oil production).

  3. Vitamin C serum morning and night (you only use a few drops at a time so this will last you forever)

  4. whatever facial lotion you feel works best for you--I use this, but anything light will do the trick, and put that on morning and night

  5. every so often, use a sheet mask to add in extra moisture and glow! All the ones I linked here are amazing at helping your skin.

Honestly your landlord should take care of all of it. I'd voice your concerns about the wood pieces being mold contaminated. They are potentially part of the cabinet though. The upper one is a countertop support if I understand correctly. It's easy enough for your landlord to have sealed if needed, though it may be a good idea to have the countertop treated and sealed as long as everything is dry.

I went back and skimmed your other posts regarding this as well. If you are still having mold issues in the apartment I'd let your landlord know. You can try washing everything with a bleach solution first. I noticed your reference to cleaning with bleach, vinegar and other chemicals. Just remember not to mix bleach with pretty much anything but water, dish detergent included. Laundry detergent that says in the instructions you can mix with Bleach is the only thing I would reccomend.

Ammonia, acids (vinegar is acetic acid, usually 4-6% solution out of the bottle, but you can get up to 40% easily and inexpensively), oxidizing agents like baking soda (sodium bicarbonate), hydrogen peroxide, Oxyclean (sodium percarbonate), or denture cleaning tablets which are great for household cleaning.

Using bleach in laundry - Oxyclean will neutralize bleach, so if you bleach laundry you can run the load through with oxyclean after to neutralize the bleach and this will keep the fabric from turning yellow. The small amount of bleach left reacting with oxyclean in your washer does not release enough chlorine gas to make you sick. However washing surfaces with strong enough solutions of something that reacts with Bleach before or after a strong bleach solution can result in a poison gas being released.

If you can still smell it on the surface don't use another chemical.

Please understand I don't think you are stupid, I know bleach is dangerous. My husband is a physicist, I'm a laboratory trained scientist as well. We have two bleach products only in the house. Clorox bleach crystals for laundry because I don't need to worry about spills, and Clorox cleanup I buy in concentrate and dilute to refill the retail bottles. I only use bleach products if I have to, otherwise I use steam, vinegar, D-Limonene a citrus based degreaser, and Dr Bronners Castille Soap. 4 years and just about out of Dr Bronners, LOL.

The therapist, Amy Tibbits, who runs the clinic I visit, The Lilac Center, wrote a book to help folks learn the skills of DBT: You Untangled.

My personal therapist, Anna Saviano, co-wrote a second workbook with Amy to help heal the trauma they have lived: You Empowered.

Anna also has me practicing meditation and listening to binaural beats to supplement the EMDR she does with me in session.

I also read The Expanded Dialectical Behavior Therapy Skills Training Manual by Lane Pederson before I met Anna and I feel it has given me an excellent foundation to build upon.

DBT Skills Training Manual by Marsha Linehan is not a book I've read personally. However, Linehan is who originally developed DBT and the link says it comes with online access to the worksheets and handouts. That looks to me like another excellent potential resource "straight from the horses mouth" if you will.

I am willing to be a chat/support buddy and can share what I've learned and continue to learn from my sessions as it pertains to DBT.

Good luck. :)

Edit to add: A book suggested by Anna that took me nearly a year to read because it was difficult for me is Healing The Shame That Binds You by John Bradshaw.

Further edit: My husband reminded me that you may well be able to get the books by Linehan, Pederson and Bradshaw at your local library.

You want a heavy fleece blanket plus a regular comforter. If you can afford to get yourself a heated blanket you will be living in the lap of luxury.

This is kind of living situation dependant but, if you find that your windows are drafty blackout curtains are a decent insulator if you can't put up something more serious.

If you can't control the heat of your whole living space (someone else controls the thermometer and you're cold, or maybe your room is a cold spot) you can keep the heat in your bedroom by covering up your windows and the top part of the door with a blanket. I'd do this before getting a space heater.

Go buy a case of ramen and a bottle of your favorite eye watering hot sauce. Sometimes you just want to clear out the face pipes.


Make a little winter survival kit for your car. https://www.skilledsurvival.com/winter-emergency-vehicle-kit/ This list is super intense but it's not bad. I wouldn't be too worried about like... a propane heater, camp stove or a gas tank. My SO swears by traction mats, but if they won't fit in your car you can throw down some sand or kitty litter under stuck tires.


Oh, don't' forget to drink water and use chapstick

I can recommend a good book Clean My Space that will tell you how to clean every room in your house and has recipes for homemade cleaners. She also has a ton of youtube vids.

For kitchen and bathrooms you want something antibacterial because of all the damp and mold, food prep, bodily excretions, etc... I will either use a disinfectant cleaner or a cleaner with bleach in it. I have very hard water so I need something that attacks lime scale as well. I also get a lot of mildew in the summer.

If you don't want to use chlorine bleach I find that Oxiclean in very hot water works really well. Maybe add a few drops of dish soap.

Another alternative to bleach is white vinegar. Do not mix vinegar with bleach tho, it could produce toxic fumes.

Rest of the house would be water or mild soap (mix a few drops of Dawn in some water) except for high traffic items like remotes, light switches, door knobs. you could use an antibacterial on these. If you have wood furniture then furniture polish would be appropriate. Many clean as well as polish.

Ear plugs - the little foamy disposable ones - from Amazon

Also a good eye mask, I found one at Bed, Bath, and Beyond years ago. Something like this should do the trick.


Good luck!

My landlord's exterminator uses this stuff, it's amazing; you apply it every 3-6 months, dab it in corners of cabinets and rooms but it works within a week or so and you won't see roaches for a long time:

Good luck!

>You can add in desiccants or mothballs if you're worried about mold or bugs.

Is that, like, a must, or only "if I'm worried"? They may remain in storage for years so there's that.

And wdym, like, putting one of these in the bag: https://www.amazon.com/Desiccant-Moisture-Dehumidifiers-Corrosion-Prevention/dp/B01MZ4ZQ3Z/ref=sr_1_11?keywords=silica&qid=1572639931&sr=8-11 ?
