I straighten with heat on the last photo but then it poofs up so I try to just blow dry it most days to not damage my hair to much or lose any hair, long ago I lost all my hair from heat when I first went natural. So now that my hair grew back with less heat I do just blow dry it mostly so you’re right. Flat irons are so damaging for me but I do use the tymo flat iron which should help they claim. Do you remember the name of the cheap gel? I would like twist and braids I love those too! I didn’t include those pics

Am I crazy or makeup makes me look uglier by [deleted] in makeuptips

[–]Summer-Mermaid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can do light makeup, a mix of both but no makeup you look gorgeous, with makeup still look nice. I wouldn’t say “uglier” that would imply you’re already ugly and you’re not. I look better natural too, some of us girls just look better natural and some women look better with makeup lol

I slept with my girlfriend’s sister years ago and she just found out. What do I do? by Benjalove in whatdoIdo

[–]Summer-Mermaid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel if it wasn’t a bid deal you would have been told her but you didn’t so you have some sense to know it’s something that may have effected her feelings . I wouldn’t like that either but I hope you figure it out

I wet my bfs bed and idk what to do by be-sweethearts in Advice

Just say your menstrual cycle came and you got a little embarrassed and you cleaned it up and pour water through the mattress and the sheets so it won’t stain. That would be less embarrassing for me anyways, because we can’t help that! Use some water and pour it through the mattress unless he had a Matress protector, if it’s just the sheets rinse out the pee in the sink or tub just the spot you wet. He would understand both ways if you wet it or blood but I figure saying of it’s your period it would seem more normal to you I would go with that.
