RAMBLINGS
The Research Lab · Age of Aquarius · We research, we ramble, we live in amazingness. Deep dives into things that actually matter.
Big Volume Curls 💁🏾♀️
Current Active Research Thread
Deep diving into diffusing techniques, plopping methods, and the perfect protein-moisture balance for maximum bounce. Testing products, documenting results, living the journey.

Curl Pattern Analysis
Tested 3 different diffusing methods. Results: bowl method = 40% more volume, pixie diffusing = faster but less definition, hover diffusing = best of both worlds. Further testing needed on humid days.
Nut Milk Ratios Decoded
After 7 batches, found the perfect ratio: 1 cup nuts to 4 cups water. Any less and it's too thick, any more and you lose that creamy richness. This is the number. I'm done testing.
Quick Note: Protein Overload
Discovered hair can have TOO much protein. Signs: stiff, straw-like, breaks easily. Balance is everything. Moisture masks are your friend. This cost me two weeks of bad hair days to figure out.
Weekly Meal Prep Stats
Tracked meal prep for 4 weeks straight. Average time: 2.5 hours Sunday. Money saved vs eating out: $180/month. Stress reduced: immeasurable. This data convinced me to keep going.
Household Hack: Vinegar Everything
Researched natural cleaning. White vinegar + water = magic. Works on windows, counters, floors. Bonus: cheap as hell and no weird chemicals. I threw away half my cleaning products this week.
Morning Routine Optimization
Hypothesis: waking up 30 min earlier = better day. Week 1 results: 85% improvement in mood, 100% more coffee consumed. The causation is unclear. Further research needed. Will continue.
Observation: Water Temperature Matters
Cold water rinse = shinier hair. Hot water = dry, frizzy. The science checks out — cold water seals the cuticle. Changed my whole routine. Obvious in hindsight, revolutionary in practice.
Age of Aquarius Energy
We're in the age of knowledge sharing, collective wisdom, breaking old systems. This research lab is part of that shift. Learn, share, evolve. The old way of hoarding information is over. We document everything.
