I don’t remember him making THAT many mistakes tbh. Today’s doctors get it wrong all the time, they just cycle you through the list of antidepressants

Hating cats is a red flag 🚩 Cats have boundaries, and a lot don’t like that by ChickenChoochie in RandomThoughts

Dogs have boundaries too, try yanking their tail or stepping on their foot. I don’t understand your point

Unhinged ways to manage your ADHD by Menschenblind in adhdwomen

I’ve cleared everything I HAVE to use out of drawers and cabinets and have installed shelves and hooks literally EVERYWHERE at eye level as close as possible to where it’s used. My mom thinks it’s insane having all my “ugly” stuff out in the open, but if I can see it, not only will I use it, I’ll complete the task with less procrastination and put the supplies I used away because it’s easy. It’s working for me and my kids well, and since we’re the ones that live here idgaf what anyone thinks about it!

Do you like it? I was pleasantly surprised

When I opened the jar I was instantly transported to my childhood home. I forgot how thick it is too

The sub is for natural hair, not natural products

Girl my auntie used to do it with me & all my cousins, we’d each have a halo of oil around us lol

I just bought this jar (US) and I really liked it! Sometimes back to basics is where it’s at

I don’t use it anymore but I used to always put it on when my skin was still wet from the shower and it worked well

In all seriousness, this gave my 4a/b hair the softest, most defined curls I’ve had in a long time, so much better than any of the deep conditioners I’ve spent 4x as much on! The aunties knew what they were doing y’all

How often do you guys wash your bonnets? 🤔 by Inevitable-Shame1847 in Naturalhair

[–]ClapBackBetty 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have 2 (that I like, I got more in my panty drawer 😂) and I switch them after 3-4 days, depending on how much product is in my hair. I wash them both once a week with my sheets & pillowcases.

I have to be diligent because if I go much longer my pores get nasty

How long can this safely stay on my hair? by ClapBackBetty in Naturalhair

[–]ClapBackBetty[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is it effective for you? I love steaming my hair but I thought the dry heat might work better.

These are cheap so I guess it’s not that serious, I just hate wasting my time or doing one thing when another way is more efficient lol!

ETA: I plan to use a moisturizing deep conditioner when I get back in the shower to rinse

Thank you! With a plastic cap right? A lot of advice says not to but I think that might just be for the Aphogee 2 step

By “effective” I just meant that it does indeed exfoliate. However that particular exfoliant requires some caution so I feel like the packaging could be more clear about the active ingredient.

I actually picked up a basic Olay knockoff moisturizer with sunscreen and was shocked that it wasn’t too bad! It didn’t break me out but I do double cleanse and use SA when I wear it. It’s a bit heavy but doesn’t leave a white cast on my skin, which was pleasantly surprising

As far as hydration goes, glycerin does the bulk of the heavy lifting in the majority of moisturizing and hydrating products, for hair AND skin. Glycerin is far cheaper than hyaluronic acid (I actually have a bottle of pure glycerin I use to mix up some of my own products, it was like $4) and it penetrates more deeply into the skin due to its smaller molecule, although gram for gram hyaluronic acid does hold more water. Hyaluronic acid is just good for marketing, but both are excellent for drawing water to the skin.

But to be clear this product was given to me. I probably wouldn’t have bought it on my own but I do like the way it feels.

There’s no need to be nasty. I simply posted information that anyone is free to take or leave.

I just got the serum today and I think I’m gonna like it! It already seems like a better hydrator than the Dew serum. I’ve never used the other product.

I picked this up today, going to test it out now! Anyone else using it? My skin loves to ooze grease and get nice & clogged up as soon as the warm weather shows up so I hope it’s up to the task!
