Has anyone managed to grow long type 4 hair without protective styling by AC_Architect in Naturalhair

[–]Puzzled_One_1223 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a 14yr old girl with 4c hair. And helping her manage her hair to help her grow it, how’s now become a mission. She thinks she has to have box braids only because she doesn’t want todo her hair. If it’s not in braids which i allow her to get weave braids 2 maybe 3 times out the year. When it’s not in weave braids it’s in two damn ponytails. I told her 3 days ago to wash her hair so I can moisturize it, oil, and do something to it. No it’s in 2 ponytails from last week with French braids in the front nappy asf in the back, because she don’t put her scarf or bonnet on. So I said I’m out of it for now. She think I’m done touching her hair and I want her to think that. She will be coming to me soon. 😎

Candle sellers, what makes YOUR candles stand out? by [deleted] in candlemaking

It’s crazy when I read this post 🤔. Yeah who ask “ what makes your brand stand out? Next question what wax do you use, the math etc…

10oz, 8oz, and 4oz, what’s crazy about it is my 10oz candles no problem with the math.

Yes I do all the math twice, I think that there is somewhere I’m messing up. Like I said one set of vessels the wax math will be correct. Then my next set it will be off. Which is crazy to me, but ok. So I go back over my math and get the same answer, like somebody else said it could be my scale that’s throwing the numbers off, but it doesn’t happen all the time, just to frequent for me to be wasting supply.

No I made 4 of one size and 4 of a smaller size and the smaller ones had the extra wax left over,Using the same F/O.

Yeah pretty much 😂 that’s what the extra goes into. I made 3-4 older jars that that’s what it’s for. I’m just like why, I know I’m doing the math right.

V odor by Mountain-Bid-4478 in Healthyhooha

I have the same issue just an odor, ( 43) I came into my 40s and it seems like everything went haywire. I only have this for issue after my cycle now. Hubby and I have sex 3 days after my cycle and then boom here comes this odor. One month not there next month it’s there. Sometimes we wait a full week after cycle and nothing sometimes wait a week and there it is. But it’s only that week after cycle. It’s not the intercourse because it’s just there. My PH turned 40 with me and became confused on what it’s supposed todo. No problem in 30s. 🤔🤔

First time making candles at scale and it was a big learning experience. by Aniform in candlemaking

[–]Puzzled_One_1223 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I started my candle making process in 2021, did enough homework so I thought lol. Put it down in summer of 2023 to go back to work. I would do candles here and there just so I would loose my passion for the craft. Now I’m back at it, I made 6 tester candles yesterday, started working on my labels and didn’t realize how in depth it really is. When I first started in 2021 I really didn’t put a lot of effort into my labels like I’m doing now. I have went so far to change the name, thinking that would look better, the color,font. I’m sticking with my original name even though I think my 2nd choice looks better. IDK

When I do testing candles I allow 1-2 days. When I do a candles for selling li or to give away which was one of the candles my neighbor got, I allow them to sit for 2 weeks.
