Vent: I asked this goofy stylist if she could wash/soak my braiding hair in ACV beforehand. I also offered to get the brand of hair she prefers & do it myself. She overslept, which made me late logging on for work & I could look at the hair & tell it wasn’t soaked…… well here we are, my head is on f’ing fire 🔥. Yall think I should wash my braids or throw $400 in the trash & take them out? For context, I met her at a shop & then because she felt comfortable she has me come to her house.

I would start with washing it first and then take it from there. The hair industry is out of control. I started doing my own braids.

I wish I had the skills sis. I love this for you.

Why do you have to wash it first? Are there harmful chemicals?

I’d recommend virgin hair that isn’t treated. You can find at perfect locks.

I get lots of compliments.

Sorry to hear and hope you remove it if your body is having a negative reaction.

Wash your hair in the shower. It should help it tangle-less. Did you get boho braids with synthetic curly or do you have human hair? If it’s the former then wash and dip in boiling water to prevent further tangling.

In the future don’t trust the braided to do this prep work.

I was still itchy for days and I’m still a tad itchy now. I have used aloe Vera and rosemary oil and almond oil and olive oil with tea tree and honestly these braids look six months old now. I’m taking them out this weekend and going elsewhere Smdh. I am praying my hair is okay underneath.

Try Dosso Beaty hair next time! It’s hypo allergenic!

Hey so just to check on my part. I worked at a place where we went to a firm happy hour and women attorneys were there. A picture was passed around of a really hot woman on Instagram who they are oggled , later after the woman left some guy talked about all the quote whores he slept with. The women weren't sex workers presumably. I'm a male this behavior seems inappropriate to me and made me uncomfortable. Am I expected to exhibit this level of 1950s machismo in my day-to-day life?

Is SEO a lost game for a startup? I read a new perspective arguing that for SMEs, competing on SEO is a long and constant fight against the algorithm. Bigger companies have the specialists and budget to undertake the challenges but for new companies, it is much harder. I also read that content marketing should focus more on thought leadership and creating a community of followers.

Any fresh thoughts?
