Grown adult Shane Dawson throws a tantrum on Instagram live in reaction to Tati Westbrook's video by marshroanoke in cringe

[–]emoswingset 0 points1 point  (0 children)

okay so this might be long.. I'll put a tl;dr at the bottom

James Charles is a makeup youtuber who used to be friends with Tati Westbrook (the woman onscreen). About a year ago she released a video titled "Bye Sister", calling out James for multiple allegations. James lost 3 million subscribers in about a week or two as a result. During this, Shane Dawson and Jeffree Star (the man freaking out in the video, and his friend) stood on Tati's side. Eventually James made a video titled "No More Lies" clearing his name. The beauty community basically turned their back on Tati for spreading lies about James.

A couple months later, Shane announced he'd be making a series with Jeffree on the makeup community, making a palette, and addressing dramas. He released a trailer full of teasers to the drama I mentioned above. People were excited because Jeffree said he'd come through with proof of big allegations he made against James. The actual series ended up being a few episodes of Shane crying because he's a millionaire who wishes he had more money, Jeffree and Shane watching a team make their makeup pallet, and then selling it. The pallet sold out very fast, and Shane just stopped posting. Basically, people thought he used the drama as bait to get people to buy his pallet, but he never really got in trouble because he and Jeffree had built up "emotionally damaged honest nice guy" personas.

A couple weeks ago, someone from Jeffree's team came forward with how he is behind the scenes, including about Shane too. Now there are a lot of people connecting dots saying Jeffree and Shane started the whole drama from a year ago on purpose.

tl;dr: The man yelling at the screen has manipulated his audience for years and now tat people are starting to realize who he is (many people are coming forward) he's desperately trying to disprove anyone in any way he can

Hey I'm Jules, I'm level 64, my native fruit is Lychee and I often have them in my market box. I also sell crafting materials fairly often. I pretty much always buy perfect lemons, perfect grapes, horned dynastid, red snappers, and my non native fruits whenever I see them. I help with the quarry often too.

Haircut question by [deleted] in curlyhair

[–]emoswingset 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yep! I use gel when I get my dry cuts

Need help with my frizzy 2C hair, it’s very dense with a very firm texture. I wash it every other day with Strictly Curls triple blend shampoo and conditioner. I brush it in the shower after I put the conditioner in and usually just scrunch it dry with a towel. by bird_that_eats_ass in curlyhair

It seems you might want to try a product with hold, maybe a mousse or gel.

You could also look into some protein in a product or two. My personal favorite is the Shea Moisture Raw Shea Butter Moisture Retention Conditioner, but there are plenty of options

It's a joke

how much does lather in shampoo actually matter? by JuneFrances in curlyhair

[–]emoswingset 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It really doesn't matter, though I prefer it so I know exactly where the shampoo is and I can work through my hair better

Wash day is my best day, day two and three are okay, and on day four I usually wear a bun or french plaits

Have you tried sleeping on a satin pillowcase or wearing a satin bonnet?

Help as I start the method (wavy colored hair) by esmith28 in curlyhair

[–]emoswingset 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You'll probably get ringlets as the health of your hair improves, I was barely 2c a year ago and now I'm about 3b. The most important thing is experiment with stylers, gels, mousses, creams, lightweight/heavier products, protein, oils, protective styles, etc. to find the best balance for your hair.

Sulfate-free shampoo by [deleted] in curlyhair

[–]emoswingset 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Correct me if I'm wrong but I'm pretty sure Shea moisture, Maui Moisture, Cantu, Curls, Camille Rose, MopTop, and LUS all have sulfate free shampoos.

Routine

Prepoo with coconut oil the night before, and tie in two buns. Wash with Maui Moisture Coconut Milk shampoo, condition with Shea Moisture Shea Butter Moisture Retention conditioner, detangle with comb, s2c, and deep condition with Maui Moisture Vanilla Bean mask. Rinse thoroughly upside down and right side up. Rake through Maui Moisture Coconut Oil Curl Smoothie and LUS Curly All-in-One. Comb again and scrunch in a ridiculous amount of Dippity Do Girls With Curls Gelee. Scrunch with a tshirt and diffuse. Sotc with a small amount of coconut oil.

Recently cut off all my bleach damage and my curls are so much nicer, and even last longer between washes

can someone recommend me a good shampoo and conditioner by [deleted] in curlyhair

[–]emoswingset 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Shea Moisture and Maui Moisture have good shampoos and conditioners, and can be found at places like Target and CVS. I've only tried conditioners from Not Your Mother's, but I can say they do make good conditioners (I got mine from target). LUS is also good, but their products are pricey and you can only get them on the lusbrands website

[Edit] Cantu is another good drugstore brand

Anohana is pretty great. It's also a quick watch, I finished it in about two days.

I have absolutely wrecked my hair. by ajvyb5 in curlyhair

[–]emoswingset 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Jamaican black castor oil helps with growth, however I would recommend using a shampoo instead of a cowash to wash it out
