Which would you be more curious to see next?

Quick context:
In a recent video, I talked through a real decision I’m making around the Calecim Advanced Hair System I received in PR – something I’ve tested before with very different results on two people.

▶️ Video for context: https://youtu.be/KUD0Zkc0bYg

I used it myself earlier this year and saw a noticeable improvement in my own hair thinning. A family member also tried it previously but didn’t see results, which aligns with what the brand has said about more advanced hair loss often needing multiple back-to-back treatments.

Since then, a few things have changed. My hair growth feels stable again after that 6-week treatment several months ago. And that same family member has since seen very visible regrowth after starting Nutrafol, which suggests her body now has better nutritional support for growth.

That’s what makes a second test interesting – the context is genuinely different this time. I’m weighing whether it would be more useful to you as a viewer to revisit the Advanced Hair System on myself (to see if repeat use adds anything), or to pass it on to my family member for a second attempt under these new, supported conditions.

Help!
I am looking for a very specific Christmas gift for somebody: a pair of elevated loungewear pants.

Ideally they would:
1. Have pockets
2. Have *no* elastic at the ankles
3. Be ultra comfortable
4. Be elevated enough that they look nice (for errands, school run, etc.)
5. Be made of organic materials

Do you have any suggestions? I've found a few so far but haven't tried any of them myself. I'd love recommendations, especially from personal experience.

Thank you! 💛

✨A Warm Welcome to Our Newest Intentional Icon ✨

I’m so glad you’re here, @AysheFahim-j2m! I apologize that it took so long to break out the welcoming committee – due to my move, accessing the Internet has been a challenge. But I want to thank you for joining the ranks of the Intentional Icons – your support means the world.

As an Icon, you now have access to new members' only shorts, The Adagio Tapes, Adagio Resources like the "Loyalty Ledger", plus the entire Icon Backlog – waiting whenever you’d like to explore. And as soon as my new workspace is up and running, I will be posting again regularly.

I’m so grateful you’re here and part of this community. Feel free to participate in discussions, make suggestions, or simply be a passive observer of the goings on in Club Adagio – whatever makes you happiest. ❤

I’m uploading my latest video as I type this. But while we’re waiting, I found a genuinely helpful sale for my US peeps. Sephora USA is doing 30% off Bumble & Bumble today – the kind of deal I’d take advantage of if I needed to refill my favorites:
go.shopmy.us/p-33968973

These two are the standouts for my fine hair:

• When I do a wet set, Don’t Blow It Fine (H)air Styler keeps the shape longer:
go.shopmy.us/p-33968240

• When I blow dry, All-Style Blow Dry gives me extra body and helps give me some extra time before wash day:
go.shopmy.us/p-33968381

I’ve got enough on hand to coast through to the next sale, so I’m sitting this one out – but this is exactly the sort of info I find helpful myself, so I wanted to pass it along.

And just so it’s clear: these are affiliate links, so I earn a small commission if you choose to shop. No pressure at all – think of it as a tiny tip jar with great hair. 😉 Whether you’re abstaining like me or taking the chance to save a little, I’m glad you’re here.
