I regularly get temporary hair color to some of my hair (pinks or purples). Because they fade slightly with each wash, my goal is to only wash once a week in cold water to get the most bang for my buck. Days 1-3 no additional products needed, dry shampoo 4,5, (some hair pulled back/styled up) and days 6,7 I’ll put my hair up. I still shower regularly, just put my hair up and cover it when I do. Depending on activity levels if I’m getting sweaty, I’ll probably shorten it to a 5 day cycle.

According to the lady I go to she has plenty of women that have weekly hair appointments for a wash, blowout, and style that basically do the same (and no - they’re not all “old ladies.”)

I work in hospice, everyone’s journey is different. As you hear things (some people share stories intending to be well meaning) try to let it slide off. Focus on your families and your needs, and know that there are resources available for assistance and support (social workers, spiritual needs, etc.)

Crematoriums hate this one trick!

Should I be calling it a foot speculum or heel speculum? Which sounds worse?

Achilles speculum? Tarsal speculum?
