I’m hella tired of all the shit you’ve had to deal with (far more gracefully than me btw) so let’s switch gears my dear! Can you tell us your skin and hair routine? Oh oh oh and I want to hear alllllll about your locs...how did you make the choice to commit to them and do you think you’ll ever cut them? (DCN does beauty anddddd go!)♥️👑✨
gosh u’re shweet (no no i am not graceful but this is berry flattering ok)🙊tysm!
my hair is so low maintenance at this point honestly. i use jane carter’s leave in conditioner spray daily (it’s like $9); spray from roots to tips, especially tips. then i squeeze & rub my dreads to like spread it abt. i also put oil just on my hands, then i run my hands thru my hair (typically avocado or coconut).
we use organic soap stuff like dr. bronner’s castile stuff. i moisturize almost entirely w/ shea butter that DM whips up w/ essential oils & stuff. or avocado oil. omg i feel so happy covered in avocado oil.
also those oils are great for taking off make up
AND they’re almost tasteless if u wanna use it for like hand jobs & blow jobs so like win fucking win
edit: i totally forgot abt the dread story lol!
ok so i was like regularly getting a blow out & i was just like this is too much. what else can i do? one of my friends had recently gone natural & she recommended it & i pussyfoot’d around for a bit w/ braids then did a big chop.
i cried @ the big chop. i had never had such short hair. i felt naked.
but it grew on me & sometimes i miss the shorties *happy tear*it’s been like 5 or so years & i can’t see myself cutting them except for when they become too much to manage. cuz i am lazy as fuck :)
sometimes DM accidentally lays on them now. or i do. so it is getting to the point where wearing them loose in bed is annoying lol.
