I went to see akeem ali with my besties (one of them is my husband and the other is @thelazyhoodoo ) it was so fun! Also I cut my hair and I'm so proud of the results! I sweat it out a bit, but after this I'm thinking maybe I'm better suited to 70's aesthetic lol

I was talking to a straight friend of mine, turns out she's also into Supernatural.

My bi self: I love it because it helped me realise I was queer.

Her straight self: What how!? Who's gay on that show? Aren't they all straight?

My bi self: Are we even watching the same show??

How am I supposed to explain that the straightest show is also the gayest?

Starting Your Straight Hair Journey? 7 Tricks for Straight Naturals

If you're beginning your straight hair journey, the goal isn't just to achieve sleek hair—it's to keep it healthy, strong, and thriving. Straight natural hair can be beautiful and versatile, but maintaining it requires the right habits. Here are 7 simple tricks to help you get started.

1. Start With Healthy Hair

Healthy hair holds styles better and is less likely to experience breakage. Focus on regular conditioning and moisture before worrying about styling.

2. Invest in Quality Hair Tools

Too much heat can cause damage over time. When using heat tools, always apply a heat protectant and stick to the lowest effective temperature. High-quality blow dryers, flat irons, and styling brushes often distribute heat more evenly, helping you achieve smoother results with fewer passes.

3. Deep Condition Regularly

Deep conditioning helps restore moisture and elasticity, keeping your hair soft and manageable after straightening.

4. Trim Split Ends

Regular trims prevent split ends from traveling up the hair shaft and help maintain a smooth, polished appearance.

5. Wrap Your Hair at Night

Protect your straight style by wrapping your hair with a silk or satin scarf before bed. This reduces friction and helps preserve your results.

6. Avoid Excessive Product Buildup

Heavy products can weigh hair down and make it appear greasy. Use lightweight serums and moisturizers when possible.

7. Be Patient With Your Journey

Healthy hair growth takes time. Focus on consistency rather than quick fixes, and celebrate the small improvements along the way.

Final Thoughts

Your straight hair journey should prioritize hair health above all else. With patience, proper care, and a consistent routine, you can enjoy smooth, beautiful hair while maintaining its strength and length.

Other dad comments:

Dean is always competing with women for Cas’s attention (he’s talking about Daphne, Meg, Hannah at the point we’re at).

Cas competes with men (Benny, Crowley).

We haven’t gotten to Amara yet. But dad is really noticing things. He thinks they’re both straight ofc. He just means competing for literal attention. Nothing to see here.

#Repost @ilovethedoux (with @report.for.insta) ... If you've been following The Doux for a while, you know that I make no apologies for being a #straightnatural. I wear my hair straight and curly, and answer to no one 💯. When I decided to stop performing relaxers in 2009, I transitioned my entire salon of clients from relaxed to natural hair - WITHOUT A SINGLE BIG CHOP. When done skillfully, you can gradually transition by wearing your hair straight until your virgin hair grows to a length you're comfortable with. My clients wore blowouts for about a year (12 months = 6"), then cut the relaxed ends when they were ready. Once they did, they were still able to flex between straight and curly styles. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ WE WANT EASY + THE LIGHT can be found at thedoux.com. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Apply a quarter-size of WE WANT EASY Texture Tamer to freshly-washed, wet hair to condition and detangle before blowing dry. If you’re not confident using a brush to blow your hair out, I recommend the Conair Silver-bird at medium heat, which comes with a pick attachment (Sally.com). ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ THE LIGHT Weightless Shine Mist was used as a heat barrier and shine agent while flat ironing. Spray and distribute throughout hair before and during the use of your flat iron. Ceramic irons (as opposed to titanium) are a much better option for home use, because they require less tension and are less likely to flatten the cuticle. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Tip: Most of us Straight Gangsters love those 450-degree irons because they stay hot between sections, however, most heat protectants reach their boiling point at about 415 degrees. To avoid overheating, purchase 2 flat irons, and set them on a lower heat setting (400 or below). Use iron 1 for one section and iron 2 for the next. Give one iron time to recover its temperature while you're using the other. Alternating 2 irons this way will allow you to silk beautifully without over-exposing the hair. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #silkpress #naturalhair #heatstyling #flatiron #blowout #blowdry #wewanteasy #heatprotectant #thedoux #ilovethedoux #ouidoux (at Durham, North Carolina) https://www.instagram.com/p/B_EQ_FTHxQU/?igshid=1ljq2gz9esxzz
