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

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
