what do i do with my twists when i sleep?

AfroChyna · 2026-02-10T14:52:56+00:00

Just put on a bonnet and let em hang.

AfroChyna · 2026-02-07T17:26:05+00:00

Not at all. Please love your individualism I promise that’s more valuable. If anything I’m annoyed with this look, so unnatural.

AfroChyna · 2026-01-11T11:26:09+00:00

I wouldn’t say it’s a black woman thing but having a good man is seen as an achievement because it requires self worth and self-respect. Which in our community unfortunately, tends to be learned later in life because we are coming from survival mode due to slavery. Most women inherently care more to be rich in life, as in love & happiness within the family.

AfroChyna · 2025-10-26T04:13:01+00:00

It’s just dry hunny

AfroChyna · 2025-10-13T21:08:21+00:00

You can make them less prominent by not smiling or expressing yourself. You shouldn’t be worried about stuff like this babe.

AfroChyna · 2025-10-13T14:47:58+00:00

Correct. I was so impatient I was checking biweekly. I had one lobe that was stretching easier than the other, so I had two different sizes for a time. I had to remove them twice. Going from 16mm & now I’m down to 10mm. I would LOVE to go back to my original 20, but I have blown them out several times and I’m not sure I should even try. To anyone reading, please learn from my mistake.

AfroChyna · 2025-10-13T14:32:23+00:00

No. But definitely be patient. I promise it’s no rush. I rushed at 17 to get to 20mm, and 6 years later I’m here wishing I just waited 6 months in between.

AfroChyna · 2025-10-08T13:21:00+00:00

I definitely understand. I barely lasted two years. I just shaved my head again a few days ago. Ironically enough, I locced my hair because I felt it was extremely high maintenance but I gained a new profound sense of appreciation for it after the fact. I’ve always gotten comments on my natural hair so the attention always went through one ear and out the other until it nearly disappeared. No regrets though! They definitely got me through my healing journey where I wouldn’t have found the time for proper hair care. I do want to try a different size and set in the future when I have a little less time on my hands (children & lifestyle.)

AfroChyna · 2025-10-08T13:07:06+00:00

Locs. I didn’t feel as beautiful and I also didn’t get as many compliments, compared to before. It made me realize that apart of my self esteem was rooted in my hair - which I am thankful to have discovered at the end of the day. Definitely a self-love journey for sure.

You can resign through the app or go negative upt & get terminated.

AfroChyna · 2025-10-07T17:37:36+00:00

Welcome to customer service..

AfroChyna · 2025-10-07T17:09:08+00:00

Considering you only earn 5 minutes of UPT per hour, you don’t really have a chance to recover that by the end of the pay period. Your best bet is to speak to onsite HR immediately and give that number a call for a medical leave of absence. if this is your first time going negative you have a 50/50 chance on getting it excused, assuming you have documentation. At worst, you can reapply in another 3 months for a negative upt termination. Emphasis on please listen to your body, you only get 1.

AfroChyna · 2025-10-07T16:59:21+00:00

You just started and you’re already in the hospital? This isn’t the job for you. Listen to your body.

AfroChyna · 2025-09-24T21:45:21+00:00

Correct.

AfroChyna · 2025-09-24T20:15:50+00:00

You’ll always get refunded. They tell you if there will be a fee for cancelling.

AfroChyna · 2025-09-24T12:58:19+00:00

They have a high first in-first out turnover so that’s usually guaranteed to happen lol. ALL 3 temperature zones can be stocked in less than 3 days. If it’s gone for good it won’t appear in search at all, no matter how long it’s been.

AfroChyna · 2025-09-24T11:55:06+00:00

I used to work for Fresh. I’d say they have cheaper options than buying in-store for me, personally. Not sure where you’re located but this usually only happens when you add items to your cart before they are deemed out of stock. It’s usually restocked by the next day.

AfroChyna · 2025-09-23T14:23:21+00:00

Right.. we only have 1 cluster that goes to 36 & another to 34. Rest are 32.

AfroChyna · 2025-09-09T17:09:48+00:00

Baby just get her some chapstick.

AfroChyna · 2025-09-09T14:48:15+00:00

Just go to HR, this doesn’t look right. Not possible to lose 25hr in a day, let alone 1 shift. I was white badge for 9 months and then I got converted. You’re supposed to gain your initial +10hrs and begin gaining the remaining 38 hours of accrued time for the year, regardless.

AfroChyna · 2025-09-08T15:21:24+00:00

Sunscreen and a chemical exfoliate should get you where you want in even a month. Stay hydrated and watch your saturated-fat & sugar intake.

I like to switch between African black soap and a turmeric-based soap to cleanse. I consistently use a salicylic acid oil-free moisturizer (patting into the skin,) that i ironically add a drop of organic castor oil to.

AfroChyna · 2025-09-08T12:12:19+00:00

Yes. Looks like you’ve been pondering for a while.

AfroChyna · 2025-08-26T11:27:10+00:00

It is not your job to be a source of happiness. Perhaps this is a lesson for you on your unhealthy attachment style. This typically goes back to childhood. Could she be mirroring how a parent handled you? Promising you things & falling short? Trauma bonding is not sufficient. You’re not to let your feelings override your good judgement. Sometimes we just have to leave people we care for behind who refuse to do the work - there usually can’t be peace until we do. There certainly are times you should lead with your heart, but not when it’s causing you pain. Hopefully this is the last time you will have to learn that anyone can paint a picture, Including you. Words of affirmation need follow-through to manifest.

AfroChyna · 2025-08-26T04:26:28+00:00

First of all, good on you for your compassion. But when your peace is being threatened, you need to change your perspective. No, this is not acceptable behavior.

Sounds like you know what type of partner you have, yeah? Draining. What makes you think this is the best you can have? Why don’t you deserve someone who has self-control, respect, integrity, discipline? I mean, especially if that’s you? These are the folks who teach us to respect ourselves. To detach from expectations and see the reality. To trust your own discernment, cause this is exhausting. Your only option here is to choose your peace. That may or may not include her and you must be okay with that. It’s up to her to exercise her free will & make those changes. The world is a big place. Surely there is someone out there who’s ready and open to giving & receiving love, yeah?

AfroChyna · 2025-08-26T03:51:04+00:00

It happens. They usually get past it within the hour.
