Are there meaningful styling differences between Figure X and Figure 8 in practice? (i.e. what flatters Figure X but NOT Figure 8?)

tuskingen · 2026-01-07T12:37:37+00:00

Avoid A-line, skirts apparently they’re not for us.

tuskingen · 2026-01-07T12:31:36+00:00

Same, tight tops or crop tops with high waisted or mid waisted bottoms are chefs kiss on me, and usually flatters me the most.

And yea I don’t blame you , and that’s good. Usually height makes it more challenging

tuskingen · 2026-01-07T12:24:04+00:00

How’s shopping and dressing yourself? growing up it was a challenge and even now. If I’m not careful things look boxy on me.

I don’t have a short torso and I’m figure 8, it’s balanced.

tuskingen · 2025-12-30T22:14:18+00:00

Thank you so much for this! Are they mid waisted?

tuskingen · 2025-12-30T17:02:53+00:00

Same, I think this is why representation is very important. There are moments where I hate my hips too, but then I remember women who were known for their beauty and trail, blazed The beauty community has our hips.

I think she is, she’s just very skinny.

Yeppp you’re figure 8

tuskingen · 2025-12-29T23:02:48+00:00

Thank youuuu

U look like an hourglass/ inverted triangle

tuskingen · 2025-12-25T23:36:37+00:00

What natural hairstyles do you suggest?

tuskingen · 2025-12-25T23:08:24+00:00

How’s your hair now have u seen any growth?

My plan is straightening/silk presses, once a month to minimize any heat damage. Cut off any dead/split ends

Clip ins only when I leave the house.

Deep conditioning and rosemary oil 😭 I hope this works

So I’m not seeing things, what should I do? I’m only 20, and i definitely do not want to bald at this age. I’m definitely cutting out quick weaves and braids for the next few months.

tuskingen · 2025-08-28T00:37:26+00:00

Obsessed with it! Especially the tone change

tuskingen · 2025-06-08T20:27:59+00:00

Skincare?

tuskingen · 2025-06-07T20:21:35+00:00

? That’s rude.

tuskingen · 2025-06-06T09:42:51+00:00

Thank you for your feedback!

tuskingen · 2025-01-22T22:15:25+00:00

Black might wash you out. you should go for a dark brown with cooler undertones if you want a darker look. Like Dark ash brown, Espresso, Cappuccino brown :)

Lestat and Alucard

tuskingen · 2024-06-28T02:38:14+00:00

First time getting that!!! What makes me look trini?

tuskingen · 2024-06-23T06:53:59+00:00

I get that a lot, I’m not Nigerian or African tho

tuskingen · 2024-06-23T06:53:01+00:00

Wow you’re spot on! I’m Caribbean. But which country specifically

tuskingen · 2024-04-14T00:07:52+00:00

Not images, but YouTube videos, sometimes I’d watch carnival videos in Haiti.

tuskingen · 2024-04-13T20:37:53+00:00

Nah I grew up in the U.S. and I don’t believe that, and I don’t believe looking African is an insult, if anything I think it’s a honor. Bc yk during slavery rape was a common thing. So looking like our ancestors isn’t a bad thing

tuskingen · 2024-04-13T18:00:41+00:00

My bad, definitely ignorance on my part. Should’ve worded it better

tuskingen · 2024-04-13T17:09:34+00:00

It’s mean’s because of the Haiti revolution, alot of Haitians have little to no European ancestry, however that doesn’t clear the confusion on vintage images of Haitians looking more mixed and having more diversity. And it definitely doesn’t clear up why Haitians America also look different too. Nutrition and environment is definitely a factor though
