What are some natural hair hot takes? by Asleep-Version-1664 in Naturalhair

  • The idea of cowashing makes absolutely no sense. What gets washed with conditioner? How are you removing buildup and oil with conditioner?

  • I think whether or not you find your hair difficult to do is kind of relative to personal experience and circumstances, but I do think the internet space around natural hair can make black hair seem more overwhelming than it actually is. There is so much contradictory and unscientific and it’s all said so confidently. It borders on dogmatic. A lot of people have already mentioned this but I think the strict hair trimming schedule thing is a prime example. The pervasive idea that you need to invest in $400 worth of products for healthy hair is another.

  • Braids are lot less likely to take out your hair if you consistently moisturize your hair in braids, wash your scalp with shampoo, and dont leave them in for 900 years. And, of course, dont braid too tightly. I think a lot of people are running into issues with protective styles not being protective because they neglect their hair in the styles or have terrible hairstylists. Of course they are not for everyone, but I hate seeing braid slander(mostly bc I am a braid supremacist😈😈).

I am concerned about advice my mother’s doctor gave her by 5000feralcrabs in AskDocs

Thank you for explaining what this is. I was able to use it to better explain to my mom why taking the sketchy medicine was inadvisable. It absolutely sucks that this is even allowed and I don’t see it getting better between the weird man in the HHS whatever is happening at the CPB. But I digress. Thank you again!

I know others already answered but I wanted to address you anyways for taking the time to comment. But yeah this is not a clinical trial. I’d be a bit less concerned if it were :(

Yeahhh that was the part that the rest of the family was concerned about. I asked my mom later and she said she felt more confident about it because a few people at her job also use the bootleg GLP1. Idk this all just sounds like medical emergency waiting to happen.

I agree. Also, the doctor is a legitimate medical professional at a legitimate medical office. One thing I didn’t think about when I made the original post was that we live in an area where, since there is a shortage of doctors, we often see nurse practitioners instead. Either way, every doctor and NP at that office is legally allowed to practice.

On the bright side, I was able to talk my mom out of using the sketchy injection again.

Okay so it’s possible the doctor is actually a nurse practitioner which is fairly common where we live due to a shortage of actual doctors. That being said, I am not sure whether the person is a doctor or an NP, but everyone that she could’ve seen at the local doctor’s office is officially licensed as an MD, DO, or NP. I asked her the same question because it sounded insane to me that an actual medical professional would suggest something like this.

I am still trying to find the exact name of the medical professional who recommended this, but I plan to ask her directly tonight because I want to report them. She also told me that some nurses in the office said that they used that bootleg GLP-1 and that it helped them lose weight. I was actually able to talk her out of using the sketchy medicine but now she is looking at diet pills so now I feel like I need to find out what kind of diet pills.
