man that **** drives me up a wall. i always kept my sponge twists fresh and kept a nice edge up. but when i cut my hair to try this wave thing out the "positive" reaction pissed me all the way off. its almost like people don't realize how damn racist they sound when they say i look so much more professional and cleaner now
even one of my clients (black dude) talking about "i know you didn't want to do it but you gotta get right for these white folks if you trying to do anything"
and the only reason i got it cut was cause i got tired of twisting the **** up every morning.
the game is all screwed up. just judge me on my personality and my work. leave your racism and conditioning at home.

And he will most likely get the job to as opposed to a black guy with the DS5 and nicely lined up facial hair

Lmao bruh I doubt it. Not at a law firm with a nose ring and painted nails. If it was just the beard he'd probably have a better chance than the DS5

make my own oil and balm.....tea tree is good for our skin as well as castor oil with a shea butter/coconut oil base.....trial and error is best though because some oils affect folks differently.What products y'all using for beards though? Need a beard oil & conditionerOnly buying black btw

I use Cantu Leave-In Conditioner about 4-5 Times per week. It's cool for daily use.
When it comes to Shampoo then Conditioner (Non-Leave In)... just Once a Week.

Actually there's quite a few resources why if you google it. The recommended frequency depends on your hair type/thickness and how oily your scalp is, which most black folks will fall on the infrequent side. And you should probably switch to a paraben/sulfate free alternative with how frequent you're doing it.

^^ what he said. You're depleting your hairs natural oils washing that much & even faster using a shampoo with SLS & preservatives. Don't be out here looking like bron bron if you don't have to bc of bad grooming

I'm more like twice a week with the Wash & Shampoo tho. I think it has a lot to do with the Strength of our Hair.
There's a reason our hair is the way it is and doesn't just fall limp on our head like other people's hair. It relates to melanin in a way... I've read up on it before, but I forget a lot of it.
Our hair just can't take all those BS Chemicals in our hair, especially on a frequent basis.

Never realized there was this much info on the subject. I guess it's a good thing I found out when I did before my hair started thinning. Genetically, I should be fine as fine as thinning/balding. But I didn't think the shampoo and conditioner I was using, or even the frequency I was using it, could be damaging.
Are there any suggestions for better types of shampoos and conditioners without preservatives? I have waves of that matters.
