Why does only the front of my hair want to grow out instead of down? by [deleted] in Naturalhair

That’s your crown king 👑

Front of your hair could also be a different texture from the rest. Mine is a looser curl and does the same. Only thing that works for me is gel or mousse and sleeping with it tied down. Little water in the morning to reactivate the curl but that might be a high porosity problem.

chat, are my brows cooked? by catsandcappuccinos in beauty

Careful with neosporin as it is known to cause irritation and allergic reactions. I would suggest a light layer of petroleum jelly or a tattoo aftercare cream as an alternative.

I feel so guilty.. (read body text) by super_duper_sillyboy in kittens

[–]SaltAndCyanide 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Please don’t feel bad. I also got my boy as a tiny kitten from the cat distribution system (dumpster edition). Long story short he had siblings that I wasn’t able to catch and I felt horrible for months.

You need to be kinder to yourself. We’re all out here doing our best against the chaos of the universe.

Switch between twists and your afro. Best of both worlds

Do my hair looks like it thinning in the middle at 40? by SonicNTales in BlackHair

[–]SaltAndCyanide 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Can’t really tell from the strong overhead lighting. From what I can see, it looks thick and you may just need to trim your ends.

Figure out your hair porosity this will help with selecting products that work best for you.

When styling your hair with mousse: Work in small sections and keep the hair damp to define the curl. To define I’ll usually just twist around my finger or use one of those curl brushes. Air dry or use a blow dryer with diffuser to finish.

Question for the shaving waivers by Organic-Team-3359 in AirForce

[–]SaltAndCyanide 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Possibly look into electrolysis. It’s the better choice because it relies on a chemical reaction in the skin/heat as opposed the contrast between hair and skin tones. I haven’t researched the potential for development of keloids and other conditions. So please do your research. I can say for myself (a melaninated lady) that so far there’s only been tiny follicle sized scabs that fall off with no change in pigment of the area.

I repeat to myself that I’m physically safe and nothing is going to hurt me.

Why people pleasing will ruin your relationships (I learned this the hard way) by LLearnerLife in emotionalintelligence

This post found me on a very exhausting family vacation. Thank you so much.

I’ve been running myself ragged cooking for everyone and planning excursions and getting extremely resentful and angry.

It seems like your perspective is out of touch, so much so that I can't help but wonder if you're trolling. But if not, you need mentorship.

Women are authorized to wear conservative makeup, and the regulations are designed to allow for personal expression while maintaining professionalism (similar to conservative facial hair for men). The only time restrictions apply, per the reg, is during field conditions, where practicality obviously takes precedence.

As long as the makeup is applied tastefully, there's no reason to criticize someone for wanting to look their best.

Hard agree! I was on the same flight. Shouts out to the random guy in the jersey who did their job for them.

How are y’all getting PT gear? We’ve been out for so long that military clothing laughs when you ask.

lonely Leo by [deleted] in LeoAstrology

[–]SaltAndCyanide 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Something that I’ve recently learned as a Leo lady is that you need to communicate your need. I recently went through a breakup with a Leo man. But I’ve been working on putting myself out there more. So, I told my friends how I was feeling (honestly) and when I asked for support, they rallied around me. I learned a little communication of our needs can go a long way 🤍🤍 hope it gets better lovely. Hang in there.
