BECAUSE IT’S NOT MEANT TO BE BRUSHED!!

STOP BRUSHING OUT CURLY HAIR 2k19!!!

I hate this, because almost no one knows it. No one tells kids with curly hair how to actually take care of their hair.

You can’t treat curly hair like straight hair and expect the same results! You can’t! It doesn’t work! Curly hair gets its own routine!

Okay, look, here’s the deal.

Your curls are… curls. They are MEANT to go together into a GROUP. They are not like straight hair which just hands out in one big… thing. Curls have groups.

By BRUSHING it, you are splitting those good-curl groups into separate strands, which, on their own, are STILL trying their goddamned best to curl, but now that they are away from their friends, they are only clinging haphazardly to each other as best as they can and creating tangles!

Here’s what brushed curly hair looks like:

Here’s what well-treated curly hair that has CURL-FRIENDS is supposed to look like (curl size may vary):

See how the curl is NOT only one strand of hair? It’s a whole group!

You know how you get those nice curls?

STOP BRUSHING.Give your curls back their curl-friends!

Okay, here’s the deal - you sit down. You look at this chart. Figure out your type of curl. (guesstimate)

And now you go to this website and you read about what curly hair actually needs to thrive, and you change your routine, and you promise me that you will NEVER disappoint your curls like that again!!!!

Basics:

1) Curly hair is damaged by heat, lack of moisture, and sulfates in shampoo.

- No blowdrying - use a cotton towel or t-shirt to scrunch your hair and get extra moisture out, and allow to air-dry

- Turn down the shower temp while washing hair. I mean it.

- Try to find a better shampoo.

2) Curly hair NEEDS moisture, and it NEEDS leave-in conditioner.

- Use lots of conditioner.

- Use leave-in conditioner

- Try to use water spray over chemical setting sprays.

3) Curly hair does not need to be brushed, only combed with a wide-tooth comb.

- Comb the hair through with your fingers while in the shower and detangle while you have conditioner in.

- Comb again with a wide-toothed comb after the shower if needed

- If you need to, use a twist of some sort to keep hair out of the way, but don’t squeeze it too much - give it room to breathe!

More tips from smarter people probably exist but that’s the basic stuff.

PLEASE be nice to your curly hair.

Fairest of Them All (Eleven)

A quick reminder, this is not a family friendly version of Snow White. Lots of people die in this chapter once the soldiers catch up with Stuckony and The Apple comes into play and Tony’s Alphas do exactly what you’d expect them to do when it comes to protecting their mate.

TW for violence I suppose, but Tony’s show of magic is WONDERFUL if I do say so myself.

Enjoy!

SNOW WHITE MASTERLIST HERE

*****************

The village was different in every way from Natasha’s camp and Tony’s eyes were wide as they walked the horses down the center road. There were mated couples strolling hand in hand with none of the rush present in the rebel camp. No community garden in sight since the shops were supplied by the farms in the plains, and the town well seemed like more of a gathering place versus a necessity.

The signs of an unforgiving winter were still present nearly everywhere– the shops as heavily insulated as they could be with makeshift materials, the vegetables from the plains small from lack of sunlight. Several hanging signs were cracked from past ice, trees bent and twisted beneath remembered snow, and Tony saw sign of frostbite scar on more than a handful of Alphas.

But what caught and kept his attention were the young people, the children playing along the banks of the small river that wound close to the town or chasing each other around the well. They were laughing, shouting, clapping in excitement and squealing in delight at at any which thing they found to hold their interest, eyes bright with happiness because it was warm and flowers were blooming for the first time in their short lives.

They were beautiful, and Tony’s hand went to his heart over an unexpected pang.

if you don't at least acknowledge that Inosuke has a massive fucking crush on Tanjiro I don't trust you. Like I might let it slide if you don't ship them but if you see how inosuke grabs onto Tanjiro whenever he's nervous and don't think that little boar bitch has a crush then wtf are you doing with your life.
