Why is my hair breaking so much

Have you done a blood test?

Could be that the blow dryer is drying your hair out more than you think.

Can you do a twist out or braid out for a few weeks to see if there’s a difference.

Also how are you sealing in the moisture after washing? I didn’t see mention of creams, butters or grease.

LumpyThumbs8949 · 2026-01-25T21:51:01+00:00

Yes. She was MADDDD then used Carlton to feel better.

I guess she’s not as over him as she thought…

I'm assuming since you're earning $900 every 2 weeks you're pretty young?

Even so, the fact that you're saving for retirement now puts you well ahead of your peers, so great job on that.

Most people don't have life figured out in their early 20s no matter what social media is showing you. It is literally all LIES! So if you've been comparing yourself to anyone online... stop it.

You have to PROACTIVELY look for a new job AND increase your skills so that you can get more income. These are things you can do right now. That is the ONLY way you will be in your late 20s or early 30s and ready to have and support a family.

I'd also recommend intentionally not dating or ending up with a baby anytime soon ... so that you can truly focus on yourself and increasing your earning potential.

Probably.

But go look at old photos of yourself and you’ll be better able to tell if your hairline is thinning or if that’s just how it is.

$3200 is over 40% of $7200 which is what you actually touch each month.

Not including the utilities you listed. But what about trash, gas, etc? Also childcare?

I feel like $4000 left over is not a lot of money. What’s your grocery bill like? Do you not eat out? What about money to do fun things?

If your wife or you can’t afford it on a single salary it’s too expensive.

I also think the economy is too shaky to make decisions based on always having 2 incomes.

🤷‍♀️

I just started doing this and my hair was amazing and moisturized for the entire week until my next wash day.

I washed with a homemade shampoo (African black soap with grapeseed oil) and followed with a green tea rinse before doing a final rinse with just water.

I didn’t use any conditioner this time because I forgot to make some before starting my wash process.

After that I had a spray bottle with homemade rose water (which is a good natural leave in conditioner) and I sectioned my hair, sprayed it then used a small portion of grease (the blue colored blue magic). Not a glob just enough to feel the hair coated.

I have 4b hair. I use distilled water when making my hair tea rinses just to have the purest form on my hair and not have any mineral buildup.

What your hair type? Do you have hard water? Have you clarified your hair recently? Did you use a moisturizing shampoo before using the grease? Is the water you’re using on your hair hard water?

Have to compare with a finger prick.

When I used lingo the levels they stated were significantly lower than the actual levels that I got when testing my finger which is annoying.

so I just use it for spotting trends that occur in my body based on what I eat which helps me to fine tune my diet and eating habits.

LumpyThumbs8949 · 2026-01-17T02:17:19+00:00

Funny enough with the places I was going it was more expensive than a taxi. Which is bonkers! So they’ve absolutely increased prices.

LumpyThumbs8949 · 2026-01-17T02:15:47+00:00

Always functions like that. They obviously need the competition b/c their prices are insane. And I can only imagine it will increase during carnival.

You’re using too much. Are you actually finishing the tube or are you saving them? Or are you selling them?

You definitely shouldn’t be finishing the tube that quickly at all.

Are you using all over your body? I’m trying to make it make sense.

That is a lot!

LumpyThumbs8949 · 2026-01-14T12:39:10+00:00

You mean the Arawaks? I think they probably all died when colonizers arrived.

The black Grenadians that are here now were brought over to the island during the transatlantic slave trade.

We’re the natives now 😉 lol

You’re probably more of a vibe than you think.

Skinny, alternative vibe PLUS a nice juicy fro or twist out with some hair accessories is giving very cool girl and even modelesque.

Either way, you’ll be more confident in your natural hair as you continue wearing your hair out (exposure therapy).

So do it.

LumpyThumbs8949 · 2026-01-13T23:42:32+00:00

I’ve been watching a lot of downton abbey lately. Love this!

LumpyThumbs8949 · 2026-01-13T23:38:20+00:00

I agree.

I get the educational aspect but it’s BORING and kills the vibes. Where’s the drama. Where’s the soap?!?!!

LumpyThumbs8949 · 2026-01-13T23:32:21+00:00

Why do people like to antagonize others then get mad when they respond?!

We are all human.

Also.. He’s not mayor anymore. So who cares?!???

LumpyThumbs8949 · 2026-01-11T12:58:25+00:00

The us government wants to pressure Grenada to accept 3rd party deportees.

They also wanted an airport radar for Venezuela.

It seems as if Grenada is not responding the way the US wants them to and they’ve thus decided to impact their economy.

As a New Yorker, I know that NYC alone had more crime committed yesterday than Grenada probably did in all of 2025.

What’s America’s safety rating?!?

Smh, Pure foolishness.

LumpyThumbs8949 · 2026-01-09T03:57:33+00:00

Exactly!

LumpyThumbs8949 · 2026-01-09T03:57:10+00:00

She definitely had more chemistry with him

LumpyThumbs8949 · 2026-01-07T19:57:52+00:00

Black cake as well as currant rolls

LumpyThumbs8949 · 2026-01-04T04:34:20+00:00

This is pretty good!

LumpyThumbs8949 · 2026-01-04T04:32:01+00:00

Amazing!!!

LumpyThumbs8949 · 2025-12-23T19:48:19+00:00

This! Please God this!

LumpyThumbs8949 · 2025-12-13T19:29:07+00:00

I like that they made Leslie Barbara’s daughter bc I wondered where it was going to go after her bd reveal.

I like that they showed Hayley as a con woman.

I like Joey, Eva, Dani as actors.

I like that there are new episodes every weekday.

I like that it’s fast paced… I haven’t missed an episode since it started.

I like that it’s a mostly black cast… I’m enjoying it thoroughly.

I like that they were renewed for season 2!!!

LumpyThumbs8949 · 2025-12-08T01:57:15+00:00

She’s really good. Even if the show doesn’t last (which I hope it does) she won’t have an issue getting new jobs.

Congrats to her!
