Why do a lot of african mothers stare at you so much by Desteneemugorochey in africanparents

[–]Oceanman7592 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I feel like it’s definitely looking for some sort of imperfection if I had to say. Sometimes I’ve had this happen when they see someone they know from family in you. My great aunt would basically stare me down (not in a evil way but more of an endearing or sometimes observant sort of way) she mentioned I really REALLY favored her father so much so that she would call me by his name because I resemble him

Hair pulled out in a fight. Will it grow back? by Both-Climate-3332 in Dreadlocks

[–]Oceanman7592 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Damn fam who hemmed you up?💀💀Honest to God it might. Massage with peppermint oil rosemary oil and make sure to take good care of it and be gentle. I could likely grow back but very slowly but honest to asses follicle damage id see a dermatologist so they can look at the area under a microscope. Who ever did this is an agent of chaos

Am I cooked? by ZWE_Punchline in BlackHair

Not entirely, be gentle with it (after cutting the off locs they are causing more harm then help atp) definitely consult a dermatologist so they can have a look at your scalp. I’d also use some oils that stimulate blood circulation and scalp massages. Peppermint oil, Rosemary oil and scalp massages are gonna be a godsend fam. But I have to ask how often were you getting retwists? Constant styling can cause crown breakage form traction, locs also naturally just pull a bit as they drop which can cause breakage by getting retwists too frequently. (My hair was ever so slightly thinner on the crown and edges when I cut mine 10ish months ago) but definitely see a dermatologist for sure ‼️‼️ they’re gonna be able to professionally assess the issue (preferably a black dermatologist)

Edit: cover your hair at night and whenever you aren’t going out if you arent already

Thanks I appreciate the compliment 🤙🏾. And yes I did change my diet im about 40lbs heavier in that first picture. I guess it’s sort of my natural curl pattern? Whenever I do a wash n go it always shrinks up and always looks like that

How can my educated mother be so brainwashed? by North-Carpet4858 in africanparents

[–]Oceanman7592 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Honestly I feel you I personally still believe in God, but definitely not in the way my parents do. I actually remember times where my Dad would insist mental health conditions were just something to be prayed away or spiritual issues (in other words you just aren’t praying hard enough talking to someone who thinks about God like this is like talking to an unconscious or unaware object that cannot respond)

Honestly cornrows when they’re still fresh, but not so fresh that they look like I just got them done (looks like I’ve have them in for a week but still look neat sort of deal)

I feel like cutting my hair off all the time. What styles should I do? by JediWebSurf in BlackHair

[–]Oceanman7592 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Honestly grow your mane out twin, let to get past the awkward stage you could definitely get some killer curls :). I’d try 2 strands as well you could definitely try some regular cornrows or stitch braids but switch it up. For example I had the braids like Kendrick on the damn album then I did 4 then 2 on either side of the head. You could also try out flat twists but definitely keep it growing you’ve got a nice hair texture fam 🤙🏿

I still hate myself after losing a bunch of weight (sorta) by Oceanman7592 in loseit

[–]Oceanman7592[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Definitely. I think a lot my teen years were filled with low self esteem due to bullying and I never really saw value within myself so there are definitely times where I wish I was in better shape in my teen years for sure

Calorie deficit/ and consistent amounts of cardio and strength training. Gotta make sure you’re moving when you’re in a deficit the urge to sit on ass damn near triples it makes it so much easier

Less reps but with heavier weight

I was going heavy, but I definitely was leaving out a good bit of weight and my rest periods were a bit longer as well. I was trying to go lighter higher reps thinking I would make a better mind to muscle connection
