The Afterburn ownership is cutting costs and eliminating all head coach positions in Tampa, FL. Hard for head coaches

I've been having trouble finding/understanding how to care for my curly hair for years now. I ended up cutting all of my hair off to try to ease the hassle of it but now 7 ish months later its grown back and this time I want to learn how to care for it. I'm honestly looking for advice, no matter what it is for curly hair in general. I have no clue what to look for in hair care products, and seeing all the products on shelves in stores seems a bit overwhelming. I guess I'm just looking for health in my hair, I don't have to have "perfect" curls just something that is healthy. Does anyone know where I can start, or any advice for someone new to the curly hair ways. (Btw for background, I'm mixed with white and black, and sadly my mother hasn't known how to/showed me ways to care for my hair specifically, and often would take me to salon' to have it "managed".)

Hi everyone and thanks so much for reading - I could use some insight and advice regarding hair and makeup. My wedding is Sept 2024 and I’m struggling to decide what the right move is.
I have 5 bridesmaids and I’m trying my best to keep costs low for all of them. Using azazie for dresses and letting them pick their own and just specifying a color and length. Not planning a big bachelorette or shower. At most I would rent an air bnb for a long weekend if I did anything. Really don’t want to ask too much of anyone and I don’t like attention as it is.
For hair and makeup it’s definitely expensive and most artists have a minimum number of services required. The most reasonable one I found so far is $100 per service and a requirement of 6-8 services. After me that leaves 4-6 services that need to be booked. I feel like asking each girl to get one service isn’t THAT much but I completely understand it’s still an added expense on top of the dress and hotel room for the venue. So I’m trying to think of alternatives too.
A few ideas I had are:

1. We all do our own/each other’s makeup. I definitely don’t have the skills right now to do my own so id either need to learn or hope the combined power of 5 girls would be enough
   
2. I find a salon to go to the morning of the wedding thats close to the venue and book myself an appointment but not require anyone else does the same
   
3. I offer to cover the cost of one service for each girl and just ask that they tip and pay for the other service if they want it done. That will be $500 for me and cover 5 services and meet the minimum
   

I’d love some thoughts, advice, and opinions! Thank you all and sending you all best wishes planning ❤️

What's the most ridiculous thing you've ever seen in a beauty or hair salon?

I'm std free, 6ft tall, fit, handsome, friendly, kink friendly, easygoing, 18+

Usually my hair is super straight—won’t hold a curl, even if I put hairspray in—so my stylist suggested I get a digital perm. I got a cold perm the year before, and it had straightened out the moment the curlers were released, so I assumed it would go better with a different salon. For the first few days it worked just fine, but started to loosen up pretty quickly. After five or six days, it’s almost completely straight again.
My stylist told me to shower like normal without any special products, so I followed her advice, because, hey, she probably knows more than me. I waited three days to shower like I was instructed. And yet it still seems to not work?

Edit: someone told me to reformat this so I’m gonna try my best but please keep in mind I’m either very organized or very disorganized at times.
I (currently f14) think I might be nonbinary but I’m scared to tell anyone.
First why am I scared to tell anyone? When my sister (mtf) came out as trans my mom and nana had a absolutely horrendous reaction to it. My mom would go into her room and demand/beg my sister to not be a girl, and my nana would refuse to call her a girl or her preferred name, after about 3 months they finally got over it and agreed to call her by her chosen name and call her a girl.
Second am I sure I’m not anything else? Yes 100%, I told my sister a few years back after she came out that I didn’t want to be a girl, she told me that I was Trans and wanted to be a guy, I told her that no I don’t, (she still to this day does this) I’m 100% sure that I don’t want to be a guy but I don’t want to be a girl either,
Third if I’m so sure then why don’t I just come out? Because I’m scared, I don’t want another repeat of what happened with my sister, especially because my room is my safe place and I don’t want people to intrude in my room without my permission, to this day I get my flight or fight response triggered if my sister comes into my room without me having prior knowledge of it. This is because of some of her past actions and this post is not about it.
Fourth Why are you posting this if you’re so sure? Because I don’t know what to do, I don’t want people to call me a girl anymore, I don’t want people to call me a guy, I don’t want my mom and nana to blow up at me like they did to my sister, it’s kinda like a have your cake and eat it to type of thing. I’m scared of coming out because I don’t want to be hurt, but I don’t want to not come out because it hurts, but it’s my only options. I can’t just quietly start trying to look less fem because I don’t get my allowance for another week or two, and I can just ask my mom or my dad to do my hair in a way that doesn’t make me look like a girl because my mom would question it, and I can’t go to a salon because that’s expensive and we don’t have the money for that. Once I get my allowance in full I would be able to but then it would be a matter of consulting my dad on the matter, I.e Where is a good salon? How much would it cost? What type of hair cut would I be most comfortable with? And all that.
Five extra details. When it comes to allowance, I get paid for going to work with my dad, (Amazon flex and door dash and Uber) 10$ every time I work with him and I get paid when he can pay me, so far my dad owes me 424$ they don’t take any pay out of my money unless I get fast food and that’s only when I ask for fast food. So I know I would be able to pay for me to get a haircut. I trust my dad the most out of everyone, him and me get along great, he is 100% the person I would go to for something like this. In the end I’m just wondering if I should go through with this. If I should come out and try it, I’m almost 100% confident that this is what I want but I’m kind of scared. Please help.

So I've been really wanting a curly perm but I don't know any places to get one done. Does anyone have any recommendations for unisex hair salons that do curly perms?

This case has already been covered, but I felt the write-up was a bit bareboned and could’ve gone further in depth. That write-up was around 500 words, my one has over 1800 words. I have linked their original reddit post, and I recommend you check it out, as they covered this case first.

Karen Louise Wilson was born on February 10th, 1963, to Taylor and Jennie Wilson. She was a popular student in high school and a cheer leader. She was then a full-time senior political science major at the State University of New York and an unpaid, full-time intern for state Assemblyman Samuel Coleman. She aspired to have a career in the foreign service.
On Wednesday the 27th of March 1985, the 22 year old vanished without a trace.
THE TIMELINE:
On the 27th, Karen went to the Colonie Center and bought a red t-shirt and a blue t-shirt to take with her on an upcoming spring break trip to Fort Lauderdale, Florida. She may have also gotten a tan at the Tanning Hut; she had booked an appointment that day but no one at the tanning salon could remember seeing her.
She was last seen in the 1600 block of Central Avenue in Colonie, New York at approximately 7:20 pm. She also called her roommate around this time, and said she was on her way home for dinner.
It was initially believed that Karen got on a bus near the Butcher Block restaurant on Central Avenue and took it to Fuller Avenue, but it was later determined that she couldn’t have gotten on the bus and probably walked instead. 3 credible witnesses would later tell authorities that they had seen her on Fuller Avenue shortly afterwards.
THE LAST 3 SIGHTINGS:
SIGHTING 1: The first witness told authorities that she saw Karen traveling southbound on Fuller Rd after she turned from Central Ave at 8:15pm.
She stated that as she approached a gas station on her left (believed to be the Workingman’s Friend Gas Station), she passed a very slow-moving vehicle, also traveling southbound. She could not recall any specifics of the vehicle's description, except that the driver was a white male in his forties with an intent look on his face. The male had a beard, brown hair with a reddish tint, and a long nose and face.
The witness then saw a female believed to be Karen, walking near a guide rail along the west side of Fuller Road near Sysco Food. By the time the witness reached Fuller Rd at Railroad Ave, she had already driven past the female.
SIGHTING 2: The second witness saw someone they believed to be Karen on the west side of Fuller Road. This was between 8:10pm - 8:15pm.
She stated that the female was walking south of the entrance of Six Mile Waterworks (also known as Rensselaer Lake) near the construction road leading west off Fuller Road. This area is located just north of the I-90 underpass. The female was walking on the grassy portion of the sidewalk, with her head down.
A smaller person of unknown sex was walking along the female’s right side "almost shoulder to shoulder" seemingly urging her up an embankment or incline into the Six Mile area. The smaller person was described as between 5'5 - 5'8 (165-172cm), and between 120-140lbs (54-64kg). When the female turned her head to the left, the witness thought she appeared nervous.
The witness also described a white male following 50 to 100 feet behind the two subjects. He was walking at a steady pace, not seeming to be gaining on the two. He was described as about 5'11 (180cm) with a slim build, in his early 20's, wearing dark pants and a waist length jacket which may have been beige. He had light colored hair (gold to red), and a beard or some other type of facial hair. The couple then returned to the sidewalk and began walking in a normal manner southbound on Fuller Road.
After the witness stopped at the red light at the I-90 ramp, and then continued southbound, she saw the couple past the dirt construction road on the right, just out from the I90 underpass.
She also stated that she saw a stopped or disabled small unoccupied black vehicle at Fuller Rd at Washington Ave Ext. The vehicle had a New York plate bearing partial plate 239 with unknown letters. The car was sedan style and believed to be about five years old. The driver's window was down about 6" and the passenger window was down about 2". She thought this was odd because it looked like it was about to rain. Also noted on the driver's side window was a hole about ¼" in diameter with cracks radiating from it. She thought that it looked like a bullet hole.
SIGHTING 3: The last sighting of Karen was by a third witness at approximately 8:20pm as he left work at the SUNY Albany Campus, and was waiting at the traffic light on Washington Ave and Fuller Rd.
He was waiting for traffic to clear so that he could turn right, proceed north on Fuller Rd and access the I-90 entrance ramp across from the Six Mile entrance. The female was reportedly seen standing on the northwest corner of Fuller Road for about 10 seconds while the witness was waiting for the traffic to clear. He believed that the female appeared to be waiting for the traffic light to change.
When he made the right turn onto Fuller Rd, the witness saw a male crossing Fuller Rd from the west side to the east side, just south of the I-90 underpass. He took a few steps up the driveway where the construction trailers were on the east side of Fuller but seemed to change his mind. He then walked south on the east side of Fuller Rd. The male subject did not appear to be looking towards Karen.
He was described as a white male with "sandy or light brown, messy or curly" hair, with a couple of days growth of facial hair. He was of average height, about 18 - 25 years old, and was wearing a jean (denim?) or aviator type jacket, jeans, a flannel shirt, and high tan construction boots.
As the witness turned right onto the I-90 ramp, he saw a lime green Volkswagen Rabbit (estimated to be a 1981 or 1982) parked along the road. There was no one around the vehicle. This appears to have been the last sighting of her, and she hasn’t been heard from since.
Due to these witness accounts, authorities believe Karen likely walked south on Fuller Avenue towards State University of New York (SUNY) at Albany. They concluded she was likely abducted somewhere near Six-mile Waterworks, the entrance ramp to Interstate 90 westbound and the Northway. The night was not well lit, and the road was not heavily traveled, making it possible for someone to pull her into a vehicle within a matter of seconds without leaving witnesses.
DESCRIPTIONS & BELONGINGS:
Karen was a Caucasian female listed at 5’3 (160cm) and 114lbs (51kg) with brown hair and brown eyes.
Investigators were unable to locate the personal belongings she had with her when she disappeared. These included: A gray cloth notebook, a blue nylon wallet with a Velcro closure, a green and white plastic bag from Ups N Down, and possibly a blue knapsack containing a yellow dress.
She was wearing a Cream-colored raincoat, a light blue short-sleeve pullover, faded blue Levi jeans and white sneakers. She also had a 14k gold ring, size 5 ½, with a turquoise zircon in raised setting along with 1/5 carat diamond on each side, a Seiko watch with a black face and gold numerals and white plastic earrings. The ring was approximately 40-50 years old.
Her dental records are available.
SUSPECTS:
1. A strange man was seen in the area around the time Karen vanished. He has never been identified and authorities have sought him for questioning, at least as a witness or possibly even a suspect.
2. Authorities announced that another suspect in the case was killed in an accidental house fire in 2013. He was never able to be conclusively linked to the case, and it’s thought he couldn’t be the perpetrator as he had reported to work at 4:00am, just a few hours after Karen vanished.
(On a personal note, this conclusion makes little sense to me. Karen’s last confirmed sighting was at around 7:20 pm, leaving nearly 9 hours in between her last known sighting and the time he clocked in to work. The last witness reported seeing her at 8:20pm which still leaves slightly under 8 hours.)
3. Authorities investigated the possibility that convicted murderer and suspected child-serial killer Lewis Lent Jr may have been involved in Karen's disappearance, but determined it was unlikely since Lent's previous victims were all children. He has not been ruled out.
THEORIES:
1. Police did investigate the possibility that Karen traveled to Florida after her disappearance as she had planned but found no evidence that she had ever left New York.
2. Her case has possible links to Suzanne Lyall’s abduction. Both were young, dark haired SUNY students abducted in the same manner. Authorities have investigated a possible link between the two. Both cases are unsolved.
The general consensus is that Karen was abducted and murdered.
PERSONAL THEORIES:
1. Due to Unresolved Mysteries not letting me add photos to this write-up I am unable to provide a sketch of the strange man seen in the area at the time. However, he has an uncanny resemblance to convicted serial killer John Bittrolff. It might be possible he is linked to the case, but this is simply an observation.
2. 2 young women were found murdered and floating in the river close to where Karen disappeared at the same time she vanished. It might be possible that the cases were linked.
CONCLUSION:
During the first year after her disappearance, Karen's family, who now live out-of-state, mailed thousands of letters pleading for information and advertising their $10,000 reward for new details about her disappearance. They have now given up hope of their daughter coming back alive, and simply want to find her body, so they can give her a proper burial and finally know what happened to their daughter.
I don’t have much hope of a conclusion for this case any time soon. It seems clear she was abducted and murdered, and without a body there is no evidence that could lead to anything. Unless her body is found, or someone comes forward, I see this case being unsolved for years to come.
Karen Louise Wilson has been missing for 38 years. If she is still alive, she would be 60 years old.
If you have any information about Karen's disappearance, please contact New York State Police at 518-783-3212.

So we already know that losing and gaining weight isn't planned at the moment. But I was wondering if other effects on the body would be? Like tanning or getting sunburnt. Or of you can dye your hair at a salon the dye fading later on. Or if autonomously their body will change like they may get freckles if there in the sun a lot or scars since you can skip a whole decade In time so I assume that they wouldn't look the same in 10 years.

Does anyone have any great hair salon recommendations that specialize in curly hair and coloring it? I’m mildly scared of getting my hair destroyed again so I haven’t gotten it cut in a longgg while. But it’s time. And the urge to dye it has become too strong.
