Choosing to turn a deaf ear to foolish words.

Due to countless negative comments such as hair e ’guama or manduco to wash, it is that I decided to chemically straighten my hair for fifteen years or more, I did not limit myself to the use of dryers and electric irons.

I clarify from the beginning your hair is not bad, no matter the texture, 4C, 3A, 6F, use those numbers to find a suitable bra size or bet on the pool. I’ll tell you what kind of hair we have, curly.

As every cell needs care, that cell is not dead, nor is the hair follicle, nor is the scalp.

You cannot pretend to have an enviable mane by investing the minimum in time, love and costs.

Do not apply natural fat-based masks … (almond, argan, castor, olive, sunflower oil …)

These will obstruct the hair follicle causing dandruff, flaky dermatitis among other aggressive sumo hair diseases causing itching and painful skin wounds if it is scratched with the nails.

Eat those fruits, dressings or vegetables (apples, honey, bananas, milky, coconut, avocado, mango, coffee, mayonnaise) and drink plenty of fluids, you will see a good diet reflected in the growth of your curls and in your health in general.

Many beauty gurus said through videos they used home treatments for years, months and centuries, he – look, how wonderful I am – now they deny it, that means that they are tricks taking the background of commercial interest; It’s lazy to be washing dishes and storing concoctions that will honestly go bad in the fridge.

Not to mention the iron, not referring to the common one in the form of a scissor, we are talking about the clothes iron, with beautiful and smooth results but very bad if you go for a walk or they give you a beach operation.

The correct motivation is not seasonal fashion, nor if I wanted to have it like the idol because of the physical similarity or to pretend to turn back time because that process is slow and requires patience and extraordinary motivation; let us take advantage of divine gifts, hair is one of the few organisms that, despite mistreatment or the infirmity imposed by painful causes, grows, and does not require an operating room to repair it, continue until you achieve success.

The push suffered was from the sister-in-law that has hair e ‘baba or jojoto and is a neophyte in the matter, adding my short stature did not help me at all, suffering the big cut prematurely (go to a special aesthetic or that It is attended by a professional with kinky hair who understands the same thing) I hate it, I hate it with desire; In this room if your hair will grow, it will not be stunned as the legend says, but it will suffer shrinkage, it means if it grows 4 cm it will notice 1.5 cm in length in comparison, that is a sign of a return to life.

Sulfates are not super villains, it is water and oil, you suffer from sweating, the fat is cut with salt and acids, do the test by rinsing your pan.

The fall is normal, the smooth ones still fall, yes, if you already see the sun’s rays reflecting on the head, do not wait for everything to fall, it may not be genetic and a specialist in dermatology will know how to guide you. It can be you tie yourself too tight in pigtails, wear caps daily or as soon as you get out of the shower you tie it in a bow tie, that not only breaks it into a thousand pieces, we emphasize it, it can leave you head to the knee.

Don’t sleep with wet hair. Do not wring it aggressively with a towel like a mop.

I keep my wallet, I’ll be back.

Do not rush to buy a thousand ointments, in fact, if you change your line enough, it will start from targeted means or from the root, it is arduous and expensive to find the ideal product because it does not exist or it works almost, almost; what half controls my hair is the homemade flaxseed gel and on the third day without washing it is full of frizz in the parts most damaged by the chemical, so it is impossible for me to recommend a very long list of brands due to the precarious monetary situation, to Part, good items contain small ounces and if the mane is abundant it causes frustration and bankruptcy; calm, without pause and without haste, the best remedy is to wait for it to grow and every month to cut the smooth parts, at least half a centimeter at the ends, putting the scissors in a diagonal direction, waiting for the full moon phase because this is not a werewolf story.

Professional ethics.

If a curly arrives in your living room or improvised room wanting to straighten it, there is no need to be disrespectful or look with disdain for not having the hair of expectations; It must be that daydream that for more mistreatment that head is made of stainless steel. Several times they wet my hair and lifted me from the chair in the middle of the straightening, saying those hairs did not hold or heat. Please proceed and instead of these crawls recommend a moisturizing, a suitable accommodation because not all beauty academies are for Indian hair people; be polite and courteous, of course never come back and those aesthetics went bankrupt, I guess it was not for lack of consumers. Listen carefully to the request, if he asks you to cut the ends, do not leave it in half; If she asks for loose braids, make her loose buns… because of the shape of my face, I don’t have a three-strand glued to my scalp because I end up looking like the predator, the visage is part of the study; Faced with a bad result, many out of shortness are not going to say they were dissatisfied and it is not enough before the claim to return that money, sometimes there is overexposure of treatment and those hair are chewy and break, if they grow, grow and delay, they take time; you aside from filling your pockets, enhance your human warmth. Case with omission, if you love your court, pay just enough well, they say the barber needs to eat.

Give away or sell all those heating devices and take advantage of buying special products for your type of yarn. You feel the relief to see those dark clouds in the sky and not have to run away or cover a piece of cardboard because you fabulous have your natural hair, instead the ironing ones look hilarious running in search of a refuge.

Other experiments not endorsed by anyone.

Use of extensions:

Wrong, although the guru denies it, that gives you pulls; Although they were natural, curtain-like, the difference in textures was very noticeable. They can give you hurtful nicknames and of course the opinion of others knows how to do it, but those constructive ones are taken with a grain of salt.

Dyes:

I bleached it to a chick yellow tone and that does not look if you have warm nuances skin color, not flattering. Evaluate the tonality not only when dressing. A huge loss of money and it caused me anxiety, I went to the emergency room with a dermatologist because I didn’t have a single hair in the center of my head. They have given you a natural tone in the belly, stop to meditate, the colorful flowers are beautiful at birth; they wither if plucked.

Desriz and Keratin, in simultaneous application:

A nuclear bomb, magnifies the first week of application; Some professionals will have the courage to advise you to leave the chemical for 7 days; Since in step number two, they put a dryer, then they iron, repeating the process, which in a friendship plan makes them lazy to do it again, the result is beautiful, brilliant; after washing you see your hair worse than before entering the salon or when you improvise the laboratory in your cousin’s yard; greasy, brittle, they say is why you should put it back on being fake.

Love yourself.

Stand in front of the mirror, take a good look at yourself, forget others because honestly we always fix ourselves for others, discard that thinking, learn from them that they live happily with the same shirt and pants. I had an envious neighbor, so obnoxious that she asked my mother to educate me not to see her in the eyes because she was rude … she called me cute hair (sarcasm) and advised my mother to cut my afro hair there. I hate a part of me; If you have a wide nose, do you trim them with scissors? It is ugly to have enemies who only want to unload their miserable life by criticizing that of others, but it is on another level when the worst enemy is you being listening to those bullshit.

Don’t pull it, it’s not a door, it’s a lie, this method makes it grow. Massage is different.

Before the aesthetics prohibited treating children under 14 years of age and with good reason, it should continue in this way because you have stopped to read the labels of those containers, bleach, ammonia, liquid petroleum jelly, formaldehyde, artificial keratin, they are toxic and carcinogenic treatments , you and I do not know if fragrances have only been added to calm the complaints of those affected; I say it with responsibility the product Lisokal, Doña Lisa, Kaliso, Glatt smell like demons, expel the smell of sewer, literally, take a stop and invest in pampering yourself, caress your hair, untangle it with joy, braid it soft, do not want to remove it by the roots; Talk to him, talk to you, tell that evil voice to grab somewhere else, buy him a one-way ticket to Timbuktu.

I enjoy four months without ionic or static plates and I already perceive some positive results in the roots, not as much as I would like, if I put my head it is rational to take time to fix the decades of lack of self-esteem or self-esteem. Send avocado to those who criticized it a lot or the daring ones who dare to oppose the transition approach, indeed, recommend a supposedly nutritious pomade, one of those pasty ones, to see if it knocks their hair down and they get entangled in another task removing the nose of the alien.

Not even a bit of heat when going to your sister’s wedding, frizzy hair is neither casual nor casual, get that out of your mind.

The objective of these failed experiments is to polish the proud ethnic group, being Latina it is hardly feasible to aspire to be blonde, with blue eyes, applying night creams and they cannot aspire to curls and big curves, do not complicate things.

I am not saying that treated hair is awful, think better when you wash it and let it dry in the open air, look at its real nature and you will notice it loses silkiness, softness and manageability. Truth is horrible deception and if by chance the suitor meets you straightened, the enormous disappointment arrives or if you are a gentleman and they blow you when it rains, you will also run Cinderella style. That is not attractive, it will sound tired but nothing like being yourself.
