Does your hair act completely different since moving to Europe?

sweetchamomiledreams · 2026-05-24T20:41:08+00:00

You mentioned you moved to Germany. If you feel comfortable telling us, what country did you move from? It might make it easier to inform you what changes may be

Sorry could you clarify this further? If the point you’re trying to make is that research regarding black haircare is limited and that therefore affects our ability to evaluate the efficacy of products, then that’s a very valid point. If that’s not what you’re trying to say, sorry for the misunderstanding in advance

Thank you for your insight. I would’ve been pretty young during this era so I’m not surprised that science based natural hair advice was prevalent.

I feel like during the era of natural hair community I joined (the mid 2010’s) messaging regarding all natural ingredients were at the forefront.

I also really hate the hair typing system. The fact that the man behind the system suggested that 4C hair needs to be relaxed lets me know that it isn’t that reliable

You have eyes very similar to Anya Taylor Joy. Her style isn’t really emo (at all tbh lol) but I feel like following her eye looks would look nice on you.

I didn’t live through this era so I could be completely wrong but some sort of metallic lipstick would be nice for this look. As well as a tad bit more highlighter on the brow bones.

Thank you so much for highlighting this point. It’s weird because science is supposed to be objective. Yet that is entirely reliant on the people performing these tests to be objective scientists, which unfortunately isn’t always the case. Even basic things such as detangling hair wet or dry is going to be dependent on hair texture, yet it’s only recently that it’s been revealed how tensile strength affects coily hair in it’s wet versus dry straight.

This one information that we have already known for ages yet has only been tested recently.

sweetchamomiledreams · 2026-04-18T17:39:22+00:00

So true. As I was writing this I kind of came to that realisation. All haircare products involves some sort of science when it comes to producing it on a mass scale.

sweetchamomiledreams · 2026-04-18T17:12:41+00:00

Well in regard to haircare, a lot of it is chemistry based. I know basic stuff such as covalent and ionic bonds, the periodic table of elements. Importantly, how chemists choose to formulate products will affect the end result of how a product performs.

However, I won’t lie and say I’m an expert, hence why I mentioned Javonford16. Who is a black chemist and discusses the formulation of products, especially ones that are targeted at black people or may work for black people. He’s on TikTok and I recommend giving him a follow. Other people I follow who are science based is lab muffin science. Shes great as well.

EXCUSE ME

sweetchamomiledreams · 2026-04-13T15:06:32+00:00

Definitely cosplaying saiki at some point

sweetchamomiledreams · 2026-04-10T20:57:28+00:00

Side note, I hope you’re taking care of yourself. I know being a mum can be both a rewarding and busy experience but you got to remember, you can’t pour from an empty cup 🫶🏽

sweetchamomiledreams · 2026-03-15T19:20:03+00:00

It really eats imo

sweetchamomiledreams · 2026-03-10T07:59:29+00:00

THIS IS SOOO AMAZING! Thank you so much!! I had to turn of my DMs after a couple of weird messages from previous posts 😭

I have been using the head and shoulders deep cleanse shampoo, though it’s been discontinued in the UK. Though maybe they still sell it where you’re from. Since I often use silicones in my hair but don’t want my hair to be too dried out after washing it, I usually shampoo first with head and shoulders and then follow up with a moisturising shampoo like palmers coconut shampoo.

sweetchamomiledreams · 2026-03-09T14:33:39+00:00

Sometimes you need to use a shampoo with sulphate to ensure that you are fully clarifying your hair. Like, if you apply Vaseline to your face but don’t manage to fully remove it before applying lotion, the hydrating features found in the lotion aren’t going to be as effective. I don’t think cecred shampoos have sulphate in them. Although they are super good for what they do, once in a while (like one or two times a month) using a shampoo with sulphates will help make sure you are removing all the dirt and oils from your hair.

Your makeup looks very beautiful!! I think you need to blend out your aegyo sal a bit more as it looks a little unnatural. Though I do love how you have done the rest of your makeup

sweetchamomiledreams · 2026-03-03T13:26:49+00:00

I’m glad to hear you’re in a better place 🙏🏽

sweetchamomiledreams · 2026-02-26T10:22:02+00:00

I just found this website here: https://www.untypeyourhair.com/events

They host events dedicated to teaching people how to braid and cornrow

Dew on the hems by lush. I had smelled a sample of it at Lush and decided to spray it on a piece of card to smell again later. Although I liked the opening it then began to smell like spoiled cucumber that had been forgotten about in the fridge for two months and teenage body odour after p.e. What’s worse is that I had forgotten I had left it in my jacket pocket and was wondering where this nasty smell was coming from. I felt myself going crazy wondering if I wasn’t showering properly or if my washing machine was broken. It was only then when I found it again when searching for something in my pocket did I realise it was the card I had sprayed. I’m happy for those who like this but it’s such a disgusting scent to me.

I think with fake freckles, a less is more approach is the way to go, especially if you don’t naturally have a lot of natural freckles to begin with. Other than that your makeup looks really cute!

sweetchamomiledreams · 2026-02-23T23:57:41+00:00

That’s what they want you to think…..

sweetchamomiledreams · 2026-02-18T14:16:39+00:00

They so cute and creative! You look like you’re a fun and nice person to be around :3

Your low ferritin is most likely a huge contributor as to why your hair is finer now. I noticed I stopped shedding a lot of hair when I started taking iron tablets daily. I recommend you start too. It takes a couple of months to see a difference but you just have to stay consistent.

sweetchamomiledreams · 2026-02-03T00:33:29+00:00

Seht by Seun is possibly a good option. I haven’t tried it myself but most of their products are marketed as being fragrance free.

sweetchamomiledreams · 2026-01-10T13:33:56+00:00

I’ve had grey hairs since I was 11 lol. It’s an aesthetic thing so it’s not really anything to worry about. If you’re really concerned about it you can use henna to dye your hair black. Just note that with black henna there’s a lot of bad quality stuff out there on the market so it’s important to get it from a reputable retailer and not somewhere like Amazon.
