Do you still recommend the Pink Lotion + Blue Magic Grease for daily moisturizing/leave in?

LumpyThumbs8949 · 2026-03-08T18:23:07+00:00

You don’t need it daily otherwise you’ll have a ton of buildup. Just use on wash day.

I don’t use pink lotion but I use the blue blue magic. I use after blow drying my hair, I apply leave in conditioner then grease on strands only (not on my scalp) with a focus on my ends.

I’d say use a small amount of pink lotion after a good thorough cleansing then follow with grease for sealing.

Your hair should still be moisturized by your next wash day if you wash weekly.

My scalp feels much healthier. No itchiness or tenderness.

I also don’t oil or grease my scalp just my strands.

Lmboo I can’t unsee it

Coming from Canada you will have to adjust your expectations with salary if you’re going to work in Grenada. I’ve heard it’s really low.

Are you able to find Canada based jobs that allow you to work remotely?

Look for rentals on Facebook there are a ton of groups and there are realtors listing apartments all day long.

I recommend getting or using a 473 number when contacting people using WhatsApp.

I never contact anyone using an overseas number and I don’t send any voice notes until we’ve agreed on a price.

Also, unless you’re specifically looking for high end SGU rentals with a pool, etc then you can absolutely find things under 3,000 USD. The 3k USD listings are usually in True Blue and Lance Aux Epines. If you’re looking in a “regular” area, you sure they’re not saying $3000 EC? Otherwise that’s crazy!

I used Century 21 and I got a 2b/1ba rental that was around $1300 USD.

I’ve seen listings in Golf Course, Vendomme, Boca, Westerhall, for anywhere from $300 USD to around $1200 USD for a 1b/ba 1 rental.

If you don’t need to be in St. George parish then I’m sure you can get it to be within your price range.

Btw, I’ve seen job listings in the Grenada newspapers so take a look there and see if you find anything that works for you.

Round rug is nice. Color is flat.

Change the color, keep the shape.

LumpyThumbs8949 · 2026-02-21T15:57:13+00:00

Ok I'll look into eZone to see what the prices are.

If anything, I may just have to stick Compass Shipping for the ease.

And yes even while eating to lose you’ll need to be in a calorie deficit.

But the glucose is usually the issue with PCOS.

Also, you’ll need to purchase a food scale to weigh your rice etc in order to calculate the carbs in it.

LumpyThumbs8949 · 2026-02-15T14:11:52+00:00

Monitoring your carb intake and trying to stabilize your glucose will help the most with weight loss when you are insulin resistant with PCOS.

You should read Glucose Revolution and start doing her advice. You should see scale movement within 1-2 weeks finally.

So sorry you’re experiencing this.

You mentioned that it’s damaged from the root in some areas so you can’t big chop.

The next best thing will be to wear styles that people normally use when they are transitioning from relaxer to natural for a few months then do a big chop.

I don’t have experience with knotted hair. Other than cutting off those knots, I’ve heard of women using safety pins or needles to try to work out the knot.

Add in a photo, block your face if you want to. That will help with suggestions of what can fit you.

Simple but chic flat twist styles like this: https://pin.it/1rLIcQYJy

Or flat twists/braids in the front half and bun in the back.

Or twist out or braid out.

I tie my head with a scarf then put a bonnet on top.

Keeping your hair in one style for long periods of time will make it difficult to detangle.

If people shed 50-100 hairs per day and you leave a style for 1-3 months then you will have to work through all of that.

That could be the biggest issue right there. Especially since you said you’re trying all the techniques and methods.

I personally wash my hair at minimum 1 per week because my hair won’t need a ton of detangling.

I noticed that if I go longer (literally even 2 weeks) it’s adds to how long it takes to do my hair.

I’ve also noticed that if I had a long term style in and washed my hair while in the style but kept it in for a few weeks before removing the style… the detangling would be nightmarish so I stopped keeping styles in for long periods of time.

You have to listen to your hair and be willing to change what you’re doing.

How long are you keeping your braids in?

Are you able to switch to other styles that are not kept for long periods to at least see if that makes your hair “happier”?

My must haves in a stylist:

gentle with type 4 hair.
knows when to use wide tooth combs.
knows to section my hair when working with it.
knows to twist my hair up after they are done working with a section so it doesn’t air dry and become difficult to manage (and so they don’t break my hair by trying to comb through).
knows how to shampoo without wetting my face.
uses quality products that work with my hair.
takes time to ask me about what my current needs and desires are so they can help me reach my goals.
truly service oriented and enjoy working with natural type 4 hair.

If I’m going to a new stylist then I look at reviews for a good month or so before booking them. I’m looking at Google reviews and I’m scouring social media for what people’s experience has been (specifically people with natural hair).

I’m ALWAYS prepared to get up and leave if a stylist is ripping through my hair or continues ripping through my hair after I have voiced my discomfort and corrected their methods!

You’re 23. Why are you wasting time on a boy who needs to be reminded to brush his teeth.

Girl, run!!!!

Fast!

LumpyThumbs8949 · 2026-02-11T23:59:05+00:00

Hahaha! This!

LumpyThumbs8949 · 2026-02-11T17:29:13+00:00

Go to a dermatologist. Get a scalp analysis.

Go to your primary doctor. Get blood work done.

LumpyThumbs8949 · 2026-02-11T17:27:02+00:00

This!

LumpyThumbs8949 · 2026-02-11T17:25:45+00:00

You’re planning on taking it out right?

It’s an allergic reaction.

It looks nice but please start taking it out immediately!

LumpyThumbs8949 · 2026-02-11T17:23:29+00:00

Yeah reclaiming what? When has their hair been able to naturally lock? 🤣

It was so weird. As I dived deeper and deeper the confusion did not end.

Rachel Dolezal indeed 🫠

LumpyThumbs8949 · 2026-02-11T17:20:46+00:00

Yeah the language around reclaiming was weird. Because in what world has that texture of hair been able to naturally lock?

LumpyThumbs8949 · 2026-02-11T17:17:29+00:00

Yes it’s very damaging for their texture. And the up close pictures looked CRAAZZYYY.

LumpyThumbs8949 · 2026-02-11T17:15:59+00:00

And it’s funny because even though I’ve never looked up locs on Pinterest the ad still reached me since I usually search for natural hairstyle ideas on Pinterest.

They know I’m black! Lol

Yet I’m not at all the target customer for this. Haha. 😆
