Curly Hair Care/Tips Anonymous 22036[Reply]

Saw there was a general haircare thread but wanted to start one for any Curly haired Nonas.

I would love any product/care tips that aren't going to cost me an arm and a leg I consider it a miracle that I just managed to find a stylist in my area charging <$200.

I have type 3 curls and low porosity hair along with living in a place thats pretty humid all the time, so I tend to prefer products that prioritize hold and frizz control if anyone has any suggestions.

LA Looks gel. It's less than $5 and does pretty good in humidity. For type 3 hair people go with hold level #10 or the blue one.

Also, look into products with less humectants so they don't draw the water from the air into your hair.

I tried to quit coffee but I miss the bitter taste too much. Hmm maybe I should alternate between it and other drinks. I probably have some mineral deficiencies too because last night I wanted to eat something chalky and cigs.
I like dates… so sweet in a controlled manner. They should make more variants of date chocolates.
I really love cherry tomatoes. I think they motivate me to eat better for some reason. I need to buy gooseberries.

The real solution is a consistent sleep schedule but that's like the one thing almost no one can do without significant discipline. I also heard working out makes you more energetic but I'm too tired to exercise so it's a vicious cycle.

I googled convict condition routine handstand but didn't really find anything. I'm making progress, but I think I'm limited by strength.

Its a book called Convict Conditioning by Paul Wade. It gives you a progression plan to do handstand pushups, but since you just want to do handstands I guess it helps too. It discusses how to develop balance so that you can do them away from a wall and eventually do free handstand push ups. If strength is a problem you could always do pike pushups to get the feel of manipulating your weight through you shoulders and triceps

I started raised pushups today. I'm going to do as many sets of 5 as I can 3x a week.

Took a break and lost all my strength so I'm starting over on handstands again.

what is the correlation between her mom forcing her to buzzcut her hair and her being a pick me?? like genuinely how did you manage to leap to that conclusion lmao. and even if her mom was a radical feminist, she isnt practicing it correctly because the whole point of feminism is for woman to have full control and decision making when it comes to their mind and bodies- that includes hair. how is it radical feminism for a mother to force her adult daughter to get a buzzcut??

Been trying the No Poo method for a couple of months now
Alternating between diluted apple cider vinegar and diluted lemon juice. my hair looks better on the apple cider vinegar weeks.
Haven't tried baking soda or eggs yet, I think I'll stick with just the ACV but not sure

>Men rape you twice as fast as they normally would when you are fat
Wait, really? I was at my heaviest last year and lost 20kg, but gained like 9 back this year. Was really struggling to find motivation because I'll see shit about men being abusive or preying on women and my mind goes "Why would I want to lose weight and become pretty then, that'd only make me an easier target" so I forgo my diet again, even though I do want to lose weight. But if what you say is true then maybe I should, just so I don't look like someone they can take advantage of, or something, I don't know.

Anonymous 22002

>>22001
It may be somewhat true. Abusers go for the vulnerable, which being fat is often a sign of. (lack of confidence, neuroticism, trauma, etc) Girls who were abused are both likelier to become fat and get abused again.

Anonymous 22003

I am but it's not so bad, I've recently been losing some weight too so I'm even less fat but it's never been bad enough that it affects my movement or anything like that. It's not too hard to hide the belly, either.

raw veganism Anonymous 22142[Reply]

there is raw vegan lore that goes as far as to say cooked food in general makes people sick and raw fruits and vegetables heal. i do believe that too but i don't care about arguing this with anyone; waste of time and life is short. the information is out there, look for it, make up your own mind. if you don't believe it then don't, it is your health, take responsibility while i fake-cough to pretend to be sick of vitamin B12 deficiency to mock you.

if this is right however then
>people who cook food are criminals who make people intentionally sick from the caring mother to the professional chef
>restaurants and ice cream parlors are places where people are made sick
>supermarkets are mostly in the business of ruining people's health
>convenient affordable fast food might be an advanced weapon of war deployed against peoples

if i was a rich evil doctor, i'd open up an ice cream shop in the small town i live in and make real good ice cream for chap and then people would get sick and i'd have more work as a doctor.

I read something a long time ago that suggested adjusting your diet to your blood type, or region. I've noticed with all the ex vegan testimonies I have seen, they are usually white or asian people. Brown people in the tropics can live on fruits and veggies without claiming to be malnourished or sick from it for some reason, but I still would never consider a child to be vegan due to people harming their health.

I can't believe this glowie moid shit crossed over from that fucking place. No one wants to admit they have shitty genetics and don't screen for defects and then leave it up to god to sort it out after going to every length to ruin their overall health and fertility. I bet most of these parents don't even breast feed or shook the kid cause it cried and are suprised it won't look at them anymore.

>No one wants to admit they have shitty genetics
sometimes i wonder if they believe that technology will save them and 'clean up' their shitty genes and all they are doing is holding out until technology has caught up to the place that they can pretend they have always been very healthy and well-maintained. i had average genes and after many years of living healthy and mindfully i have improved my genes. i guess most people don't know this is possible.

>after going to every length to ruin their overall health and fertility.

i just realized i have never once in my entire life heard anyone discuss the topic of maintaining fertility. while still being downstream from health, it is a topic worth discussing. legend states fruitarian women have very light and easily endurable periods because their overall regeneration is so healthy that there is hardly any blood involved.

>I bet most of these parents don't even breast feed or shook the kid cause it cried and are suprised it won't look at them anymore.

heh 😂 you just described the average parents and the reason most people are so fucked up in a single sentence, i love it.

Period Thread Anonymous 21888[Reply]

Today, July 8th, is the anniversary of my first period. I will never forget July eighth of 2013 when I had it. It was so painful, I was only 9 at the time too, so I thought Satan had been summoned into my stomach to make me bleed. (I was raised Catholic)

It was horrendous, I threw up, I passed out in bed, had a nightmare of going to Hell and woke up screaming "Jesus, save me!", threw up again and ruined my Game Boy Advance, it was just pure scream bloody gore.

And there's my two cents. Please share your sweet horror stories about your periods.

Ideal Body Type thread? Anonymous 1672[Reply]

What's your ideal body type, anons?

Are you into being thin, or curvy, or maybe fit? Were you born a cone shape but long to be a pear? Or maybe you're a banana but would rather be an hourglass?

I'd like to hear your opinions and what you're doing to get there!

Imo, thin and curvy is ideal (as in mostly narrow but with wider hips). Unfortunately I'm not curvy, I'm more rectangular, I have to stay thin or else I look bad.

I wish i was tall I seethe every time somebody brings up how short I am i hate it so much. I dont care what body type I just wish I was tall so I could look at people beneath me the way talls look at me now. They mess around with me too saying shit about how theyre letting middle schoolers in wherever I am and asking if i lost my parents. fucking talls should turn short for a day to know what its like. In high school they used to just pick me up just to mess with me. I hate all talls.
