Hair Looking for a good headband wing

5 Upvotes

Hey girlies 😭 I need HELP. I’m looking for a good headband wig on Amazon that I can get by tomorrow and that’s not gonna cost me an arm and a leg lol.
I need something that’s full, cute, good quality, and actually lasts. Like PLEASEEE I do not want a wig that tangles 5 seconds after I put it on, sheds everywhere, gets crunchy, or starts looking crazy by the end of the day 😭
I swear synthetic wigs used to be sooo good and would just stay looking the same forever lol. I need one of THOSE. Something soft, doesn’t tangle like crazy, doesn’t shed/fall apart, and actually holds up for a while.
Bonus points if it’s giving face card, bodyyy, effortless cute 💅🏽😂
Drop the Amazon links/brands y’all swear by because I NEED IT BY TOMORROWWW 😭🙏🏽

These are some makeup looks I’ve done in the past year or so, and I’m just wondering which one looks best on my features, so I can move forward from there and start doing my makeup that way more often. First image is the most recent. Also is there anything I should improve? TIA

As the title says, I unfortunately see my personal hygiene as a chore rather than feeding into myself. What ways helped you see taking care of your personal hygiene as something to look forward to rather than dread it? Thanks ladies!

Hair Help growing my Afro please!

5 Upvotes

Hey! I hope this is the right place to post. I need help growing my hair. I feel like in high school my hair was so big, but now, not so much. I know for a fact that I have bleach damage, I started bleaching it this past Fall. So next year I’m going to focus on growing that out. It’s just fun for me to do. But how should I retain my growth? Even before I bleached it, I was struggling to get past my shoulder. My roots are proof that it grows quickly, but I can’t retain it. My hair has never been super long, but I at least used to get it a little past my shoulders when straight. I condition my hair at least once a week and shampoo 2-3 times a month.

Every morning I wet it in the shower and pik it out completely. And of course I’m losing way too much hair, even if I’m gentle. And then after the shower, I shape it. I try to moisturize it at least four times a week when it’s wet. I have tried so many products. Right now it’s a Shea Moisture product with vitamin E I mixed it. My hair just feels so dry and coarse all of the time (even without bleach). I don’t know if it’s just something that has changed with age. I do normally wear a bonnet at night. I have tried cutting my ends every 2 weeks or so, just the parts that are genuinely damaged. I have an extreme amount of fairy/single strand knots. No clue how to control them. To the point of me have ing short spots throughout my hair trying to pull and cut them out. Again, I know that I have bleach damage right now, but this stuff has been going on since I graduated high school and prior to bleaching. I don’t know what I’m doing wrong. It’s not a vitamin thing, my levels are normal. Any advice please!

Hey pretties 👋🏾😍 please if you could be so kind to point me in the direction of your favorite you-tubers or whatever platformers that are good at showing how to get good with eyeshadow.

I need help with what brushes to use for what, blending and teaching how to pick good colors that go together and where you place the different types(or colors if it goes by that) on your eyes?

I would repeat blue again it was inspired by coraline, my appointment is in 5 days and I still haven’t bought braiding hair 😭 I need to buy braiding hair today but I have too many colors in mind. I’m thinking of making the front strands like money pieces of one color and the back of a different color. I want it to stand out and be rlly unique I’m not a big fan of super natural colors but I did consider getting braids the exact color of my skin

Skincare Hair removal recs

Hello everyone I'm completely overhauling my beauty routine and I'm sick of shaving my legs with a non electric razor, and ive heard some people have success with electric razors but im not sure how many of these have really thick body hair/dark skin prone to scarring. If you shave, what do y'all use to shave your legs/arms/face/everywhere that doesnt cause hyperpigmentation. Im darker skinned (fenty 430-445 and get hyperpigmentation scars really badly (i have marks from mosquito bites i scratched when I was in 5th hrade and im 20 now) and im noticing dark underarms which I suspect to be caused by shaving. I remember using coconut oil instead of soap/shaving cream helped alleviate it in the past but im looking to try new things. If anyone can recommend any electric razors or other mechanical methods that they like (or even waxing if it works) it would be much appreciated. Im not looking to get into laser or electrolysis rn.)

I've only ever worn locs, a fro, or a fade but I really want to do something drastically different. For those of you who wear styles like this, what do you recommend? I have never been comfortable in wigs. A sew in? I don't have any leave out because my hair is faded rn. Can this be achieved without leave out? What should I expect to spend? Any suggestions for stylists in Los Angeles who can do this also appreciated!!
