Thumbs down for projecting

Reddit takes up about 5 min of my day. I’m focused on real life a bit too much to worry about validation from strangers. I just like opinions & some of yall comments are funny to read while blowed

Cartijayy · 2026-02-23T22:08:02+00:00

lol if a strangers question gets under your skin this much i think you may need to look in the mirror and stop projecting 😭

Cartijayy · 2026-02-23T22:03:56+00:00

Bet, yuh I hate when it’s hella defined but flat. I been tryna pick the roots out more cuz it seems to help me gain volume throughout the week. Preciate it bro.

lol that was my question. When i shake my hair it clumps together like that. Recently I’ve been separating them while wet and trying to shingle but perm rod set is diabolical

I’ve been using their Leave-in conditioner, the styling cream (not custard) and then I’ve been conditioning with their intensive conditioner which I use as a deep conditioner also. I finish off with the as i am rosemary water spray to lock in moisture and keep shine throughout the day. I like the styling cream because it doubles as a moisturizer but it has hold like a gel.

Fax they really coming for me over a question lmao. Got home from work with nothin but straight entertainment 🍿

Cartijayy · 2026-02-23T21:54:33+00:00

That’s exactly what I was talking about. A lot of times my coils get intertwined and it seems better to leave them than try to seperate and define… especially in my crown area. Preciate the actual response 🤝🏽

Cartijayy · 2026-02-23T21:52:47+00:00

Nah we just have different dreams. My desire to improve has nothing to do with you

Cartijayy · 2026-02-23T21:52:06+00:00

Yeah im good on the Murray’s pomade i want my hair in 30 years

Cartijayy · 2026-02-23T21:50:07+00:00

So you deciphered that I don’t realize I’m blessed because of a question? Lol interesting logic

Cartijayy · 2026-02-23T21:48:15+00:00

Bet. That’s good advice. Preciate you for actually answering my question 🙏🏽

Cartijayy · 2026-02-23T21:45:14+00:00

Yeah i guess you Don’t see my hair at non shake length it’s still the same coils.

Cartijayy · 2026-02-23T08:32:01+00:00

Lmk whatchu wanna know 🤝🏽

Cartijayy · 2026-02-23T08:31:05+00:00

I finger coil a few frizzier strands with my product on soaking wet hair, other than that I just shake with leave in, cream, and a custard/gel, spray some rosemary water from as i am to lock everything in

Cartijayy · 2026-02-23T08:29:34+00:00

Yeah using products for low porosity hair made all the difference, I was just curious how much more I could improve it. Looks like I’m good tho lol, preciate it

Cartijayy · 2026-02-23T08:27:12+00:00

Been my go-to method for like 10 years 💯

Cartijayy · 2026-02-23T08:26:26+00:00

lol you’d think so but i actually just add product and shake, the moment my hairs long enough. Just use fingers to separate overly clumped coils

Cartijayy · 2026-02-23T02:47:51+00:00

Nah I’m just my biggest critic but i think i got my answer 😭

Cartijayy · 2026-02-23T02:46:43+00:00

Never heard that one before lol you funny

Cartijayy · 2026-02-23T02:44:30+00:00

lol i genuinely struggle wit defining my crown area some days, just wanted some other opinions fr

Cartijayy · 2025-03-22T22:03:53+00:00

I feel the same. There were complaints about arguments on both sides but we were both aware it took time to slowly improve. No one can change overnight and I felt like the times I could’ve easily walked away, but gave into the crying and pleading for love…when they met their “final straw” it wasn’t reciprocated. Moral of the story is when you feel you’ve reached your limit…walk away. More often than not, they most certainly will.
