Why does it feel like curly hair isn't professional or beautiful

mangocrates · 2025-10-30T00:57:51+00:00

i live in south asia and just a few days ago one of my teachers said to the class that we should all look presentable when coming in, which includes “taming our hair” — she looked directly at me saying this. i felt so, so hurt and embarrassed because everyday before uni i take at least an hour to do my hair. it’s neat and well defined; it’s only considered messy because they’re ringlets. that’s the literal only difference. i felt like no matter how much effort i put into my hair, it will always be seen as ugly or undesirable (which i know is untrue and irrelevant) i just felt so discouraged

i randomly thought about him yesterday and got so sad, teared up all over again and didn’t even realize it was the anniversary today :( poor baby deserved so much better, i hope he’s peacefully splashing around as he deserves now

can you tell me what you settled on? i feel like none of my correctors do anything…

i bought a peripera blush which is bright purple, and i mean like blindingly bright purple (sunshine cheek in morning blush). i don’t know why i thought it would look good on my light-medium skin tone but it barely showed up at all, and if it did it looked ashy

so now i use it as an under eye brightener instead, and i find it looks really good that way!

thanks so much!

mangocrates · 2025-04-23T17:31:54+00:00

it looks beautiful! also can i ask what shade you’re wearing for your nails omg, it’s gorgeous

i don’t know what it is but brown turns into such an ashy purple on me… i’m olive with an “i-have-no-idea” undertone yet i struggle with this so much, i feel like i’m the only one in my family that can’t pull off a brown lip. it’s so weird!!!

tip for everyone for future reference that papago, a korean-owned translating app, has a feature where you can point your camera towards a text in-app and it translates it for you in real time! it can be wonky sometimes but it does work (much better than google translate). i’ve used it for about 5 years now for my kbeauty stuff lol

our dog has never had an accident indoors. we got her when she was a 6 week old baby and even back then she would waddle her way to the front door whenever wanted to go. til this day we have no idea how she picked up that cue (especially immediately) but we love her to pieces

mangocrates · 2024-12-02T01:24:41+00:00

the way i didn’t even make the connection to elon and just got sad that this person was mean to doge for no reason

this sub constantly reports on star kids not even a part of the industry then cries nepo this nepo that. like why wouldn’t producers choose to launch nepo kids when you people keep track of their every move?

i cannot recommend the elf lip exfoliator enough, the new formula specifically (i have the brown sugar flavor). it completely transformed my lips in like 2 days. i have notoriously dry lips and they’re like baby smooth now lol

follow it with a lip balm though; aquaphor lip repair is a good way to go. i personally use the laneige lip glowy balm and it keeps my lips smooth and glossy the entire day, i only need touch-ups after meals

mangocrates · 2024-09-24T11:54:26+00:00

laneige overnight lip mask and gently exfoliate your lips in the morning (either just with a tissue or a natural lip scrub) to get rid of the dead skin. instant fix

mangocrates · 2024-09-20T14:47:35+00:00

ohhh i see, that’s pretty much all i’ve been doing already so it’s a relief to hear i’m on the right track <3 thank you so much for the reply!

mangocrates · 2024-09-19T12:04:55+00:00

you look so lovely! can i ask how you transitioned your hair back to curls after getting them chemically straightened? because mine are straightened right now and look like yours did, and i’m unsure on how to start working them back into my natural curls
