I also use jerboa and haven't figured out why it crashes, it depends on the url the person posted. My urls I just linked open the browser, idk why x.x at least it doesn't crash
I created !curlyhair@lemmy.world for discussion about all things curly hair. Also if you haven't seen it there is !newcommunities@lemmy.world where everyone can post the new community they created.
Are you on mobile? I found I couldn't get it to go through on my phone (browser or jerboa) but I did get it through on my desktop. Had to be patient but took less than 15 min I think.
There's vanicream free and clear medicated shampoo with zinc pyrithione 2%. I've used medicated shampoos from a dermatologist before, it felt more gentle than some of the ones I tried OTC (like Nizoral and Selsun Blue felt stripping). I just had dandruff though, I don't have eczema. You can help protect the rest of your hair by applying some conditioner or oil to the lengths of your hair before rinsing off.
Forgot to add that welshiecurlgirl's instagram post is here.
Had to edit because postimage was very low res if you have the free plan so had to upload to imgur, still looking for alternatives to imgur.
An interesting dive on what hygral fatigue is and the supporting evidence as well as the evidence against it.

I also use Firefox mobile and wish it was available there. I know I would be interested in what you suggested, just want to give those sites less foot traffic.
Appreciate it :)
It's summer and the place I live is even more humid than normal. I thought I would share some information about humidity, dew points, humectants, anti-humectants, etc. I hope you find this informative!
Relative humidity: The relationship between the vapor pressure or vapor density of the water in the air at a specific temperature versus the saturated vapor pressure of water at that temperature.
Dew point: A higher value for our dew point means a higher concentration of water vapor in the atmosphere, and a lower dew point means less moisture is in the air.
Humectants: Molecules that possess atoms and groups of atoms that attract and bind water to themselves. Examples: glycerin, agave nectar, honey, algae extract, hydrolyzed collagen, propylene glycol, butylene glycol, hyaluronic acid, sorbitol, glucose, fructose, and hydrolyzed proteins
Film Forming Humectants: Forms flexible barriers that retain water in your hair. These are safe to use in low dew points because of the film (cast) they form. Examples: flaxseed, okra, aloe vera, hydroxyethylcellulose, pectin, xanthan gum, guar gum, marshmallow root, slippery elm, carrageenan (also known as irish moss or seaweed extract, sea emollient, sea algae, sea vegetable), nettle leaf tea, nettle extract, panthenol, and hydroxypropyltrimonium honey
Anti-humectant: Does not attract water molecules to itself, water repellent/insoluble in water, and typically coats, flattens, and seals the external cuticle layer of the hair strands. Can also include emollients which are plant oils, but can cause buildup or be too heavy for certain hair types. Examples: silicones, esters (such as isopropyl palmitate), hydrogenated castor oil, beeswax, and plant triglycerides such as coconut oil, palm oil, olive oil, mango butter, cocoa butter, and shea butter.
Humidity Resistant Ingredients: Helps your hair tolerate excessive moisture in the air. Many of these ingredients do build up, you need to make sure you clarify regularly. Examples: polyquaternium-4, polyamide-1, polyquaternium-10, polyquaternium-69, polyquaternium-11, PVA/VP Copolymer, VP/DMAPA Acrylates Copolymer, polyacrylate acid, and polyacrylate-2 crosspolymer
Dew points below 35°F
A humectant applied to your hair might be irresistibly drawn to the moisture in your hair and make every attempt to steal it from you (by drawing it out of your hair and binding it to itself). This can result in dry, fly-away hair, split ends, and broken strands. You can combat this by using plenty of moisturizing products, not over-drying your hair (leave it somewhat moist after washing), and layering leave-in conditioners with humectant-containing styling product. Use leave in conditioners, light hold products, and plenty of emollients.
Dew points from 35°F to 60°F
Curly hair seems to really thrive in moderate climactic conditions, and dew point ranges of approximately 35°F to 50°F seem to be optimal. In this type of weather, most curlies find that they can get really pleasant results by using products that contain some humectants. There is just enough moisture in the air that the humectants can grab a little from the environment, which can enhance the curl and create a bouncy feeling to the hair.
Dew points of 60°F or above
Might be a good idea to apply some product with anti-humectant properties. These products will seal the hair shaft, flatten the cuticle and prevent atmospheric moisture from absorbing into the interior of your strands. Most of these products will contain ingredients that are water insoluble. However, many of these products contain ingredients which are easily removed with an extremely mild shampoo or perhaps even a thorough conditioner wash. May skip a leave in conditioner, use hard hold products like gels. may want to avoid humectants, and use emollients.

Idk how helpful this is, but LibRedirect basically redirects all reddit links (and other websites like youtube, twitter, tiktok) in your browser to a privacy front-end that doesn't do any tracking or ads or things like that which is better than using the official reddit site.
I made !curlyhair@lemmy.world as an alternative to r/curlyhair. You can also search for new communities at !newcommunities@lemmy.world.
I loved sims 2 (everything is great but there's loading screens) and sims 3 (no loading screens, but pudding faces). I ordered sims 4 thinking it was going to be an improvement ... and I didn't like it. Sims 4 at launch was horrible for me. I waited thinking it would get better, came back when they finally added the toddler stage and I still didn't like it? I mean I love how you can manipulate the body directly instead of sliders in CAS but they also got rid of create-a-style which sucks and makes clothes/furniture less interesting. They made the baby stage into a bassinet object too. I only play family legacy style so idk I didn't like it that much. Sims also need way more traits to be interesting and diet preferences, for instance, aren't really a trait. And sims can get so emotional that they just die? Idk. I'll be waiting to see what future games are like.
Hi, I just discovered lemmy because of the drama going on with reddit. I thought it would be great to have a community alternative to the curly hair subreddits, especially with the upcoming protests. I'm going to be still working on things since I'm new to lemmy, but I hope everyone feels welcome to post and discuss about curly hair!
Sorry I hope I wasn't de-railing.
