Thoughts on Kevin Samuels?
Did anyone watch Candice Owen’s 18 minute rant?
Hey guys - does anyone have recommendations for Indian wavy 5x5 or 6x6 closures? I was going to order off of Amora Renae (https://www.amorarenaecollection.co/product/thin-swiss-lace-5x5-closure/) but they aren’t restocking. I’m still getting bundles from them, but clueless on another solid company that would have matching hair (friend is making me a wig bc of a natural hair crisis I’m having, I’m absolutely clueless when it comes to anything like this)!

At least you're a step above hot mess. I'm all the way there! I look at my hair in the mirror and I feel so overwhelmed. Smdh.
You just got to get to the idc phase. Wash and go or ponytail throw back. These head scarves/bands have been my daily go to
I. Feel. You. Sis. Period.
I aint even got any solid advice to offer 🤣 Just here to mourn the days of kept hair with you.

I’m at the daily wash and go phase of summer. I’m just going with it lol.
It is more like every other day but it works for me in this summer heat. My hair loves it.
Ugh same. Since I’m wfh my wash routine was spread out to 4 days. Yep. Took me 2 days to fully detangle my hair (had braids in). Deep conditioned for a whole day and then now it’s back in twists. Exhausted.

What black owned hair care products are y'all using? 👀 I went to target the other day and was going to go for my usual stuff then I challenged myself to find a black owned hair care product instead. I have been trying to be more intentional about my support of black owned biz. I went with carol's daughter. Tried it out for the first time - not bad. Any other faves out there?
Kinky Curly, uncle Funkys Daughter, hair Rules, GIRL + HAIR
I recently discovered the brand Uncle Funky’s Daughter, which is black owned. A local Target carries some of their product line, and I was able to order a travel/sample pack initially to test the products. It’s been amazing for my hair so far, and I only recently began embracing my natural curls at the start of the pandemic and stay at home orders. I also have quite a bit of heat damage, but these products have helped with that. Good luck! https://unclefunkysdaughter.com/meet-the-funkys/our-story.html
I just started using their stuff too. LOVE LOVE LOVE IT!!
How many of you are planning something different when you go back to work?
I'm hoping to experiment a bit in the Fall and then maybe go to work with natural hair in 2021.
I've been wearing wigs for years now, and I realized that I've developed this weird sense of anxiety over someone seeing my real hair and that's just not okay. Mostly stemming from dating where I don't want my natural hair to be some big reveal to my partner. Wash day or box braids take down day will be enough of an initiation 😂
Get the original Felicia Leatherwood detangling brush. I tried the knockoff and hated but the original saved my hair after the roots had loced up. Order it from Product Junkie to support two Black women owned businesses.
Also, I didn't believe the hype but that Aussi moist 3 mins conditioner is am amazing detangler
Can you do cornrows?
oh that would be perfect. I used to know how to french braid. I bet I could do 3-4 braids. If I can get through it now, it might be a lost cause. Thanks for the idea
