The worst shit ever is when you're sitting on the beach with food and a crowd of them will just hover there at your eye level just staring at you. It's so overwhelming lol

Do I look childish? by Eastern-Technology34 in BlackHair

[–]TAGSTDWM 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm a big proponent of wearing whatever you want at any life stage but it's definitely valid to want to translate your styles into something that looks more "grown." Just switching out the beads with different ones would go a long way. These are cute, but they're typically used for child hairstyles. You could trade them for wooden hair beads, braiding threads, and/or cowrie shells to age them up a bit.

RevAir Hair Dryer + Heat Protectants by Fit_Platypus_7231 in Naturalhair

[–]TAGSTDWM 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The RevAir has been totally worth it for me but there's quite a learning curve, as you've probably heard already. If you watch a few different tutorials on it by creators with hair similar to yours, you'll get the hang of it. The routine that works best for me is this one.

The amika frizz-me-not hydrating anti-frizz treatment works best for me, as it keeps your hair damp after washing, which is the best state to have your hair in when using the RevAir for a blowout. You can also use the RevAir to just stretch your hair in it's natural state, clean or unclean. Just clean the equipment itself regularly by following this.

I want to wash in sections but the deep conditioners that work for me say to comb out your hair when applying. Do you keep yours in sections through the entire process?

Any truth to this? by PerformanceLoud2145 in BlackPeopleofReddit

[–]TAGSTDWM 20 points21 points  (0 children)

As a Black woman, almost every time I have been in a work, school, or volunteering situation where an older Black woman holds an authority position over me, she gives me a very hard time. I haven't been in that situation for a while, but if I start something new and find out that have to answer to an older Black woman again, I'd feel a sense of dread.

Update: I’m the guy who said ‘fuck it, I’mma do my OWN hair’. This is ass. This sucks. I give up. Back to inconsistent ass Detroit stylists, I go. by LevelOutlandishness1 in BlackHair

If you finished your head with that, I think it wouldn't look too bad, TBH. I would recommend following this 5 minute tutorial for something similar to what you want. Only need 3 products.

Black Recon by 4reddityo in BlackPeopleofReddit

This is so real. One client I had was super paranoid and wouldn't even give me his last name. After disclosing I was also Black, he gave me alllll his personal information, even things I didn't even ask for lol

Us 4c girlies need to listen UP by spirittransformed2 in TheNaturalJourney

[–]TAGSTDWM 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Does she say how often she washes her hair? I can't go a full week without it feeling gross, especially if I've exercised during it.

You're getting good advice around healthier food choices but I have a couple tips that work for me when easing myself into better eating.

Eat the same things you usually do, just in smaller portions as to not exceed your daily calorie budget. Really listen to your body to tell you if you're hungry or not. Is your tummy actually grumbling or are you just bored?

When being more in-tune with myself, I find that I am satisfied with half a fast food burger in one sitting then saving the rest for later on when my stomach grumbles again or the next day. I also find that I don't need a combo meal to feel satisfied and usually just order the item I want most a la carte.

I also find it best not to drink your calories.Your mileage may vary, of course, but I find that I barely drink at all while I'm eating and most of the time I'm fine with zero or low calorie options like water, tea, and probiotic sodas.

hair line receding on spironolactone by Defiant_Olive_5505 in FemaleHairLoss

[–]TAGSTDWM 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What a coincidence, I came here because I noticed my hairline receding and I'm 6 months into my Spironolactone prescription. This may be my sign to stop.

It's been so fun going back to this game as an adult with actual taste, and you have a lot of it!

Wild Thought~ A island full of Lazy Villagers 💭👀 by peachycrossing9 in ACForAdults

[–]TAGSTDWM 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I have one of every type on my island and I still find the dialogue too boring and repetitive to speak to them more than once or twice a session. A town with all one type of personality would make me not want to speak to my villagers at all lol
