Use cornstarch for your powder, not Talc.

Does anybody use any of that carrot creme for your waves?

I did before I switched to better products, I ain't got waves anymore cause I'm growing my shyt out but here's some shyt that completely organic and black owned

Apothecary – Coldlabel

 

[Music Fiend]

Brehs with sweaty armpits like myself.

Certain dri roll on and solid is all you need.


Hop out the shower. Dry off and let your body dry for 30 min before bed. Rub on the certain dri roll on (2 weeks in a row, 1 week off) every night. Let that dry up for 30 min, then right before bed put on the certain dri solid.

When u wake up, use your normal deodorant and voila!

Armpit sweat cut down by about 80%

Man after using real shea butter/cocoa butter the last year i would NEVER go back to using lotion on my face.

Too oily, too many chemicals, etc

[madness]

What cologne do yall use that give the shower fresh smell?

Creed - Irish Tweed

A bit on the expensive side, but thats because it's not made of cheap shyt and lasts for 36-48 hours. I wear it when I'm going to a business meeting or weddings or something formal and I ALWAYS get compliments from females on it. Smells like Irish spring.

The Dr. Bronners Peppermint soap is not the wave for people with Eczema, although it can still be used for the face. That shyt feels good at first but you'll be itching all night. I would suggest the almond soap instead

In terms of hair care, for the waves

Daily leave in:

Pomade:

Has the same base ingredients as Coldlabel pomade and works just as well, at a fraction of the price.

Brushes:

Medium brush for all general brushing

Hard brush for when your hair gets longer/thicker
Shampoo/Conditioner:

Deep Conditioner:

Lotion:

I was using african black soap lotion because it smelled good, but it just made my eczema even worse. This smells better and doesnt irritate.

I use the Andis outliners, but the Wahl detailer I copped for my young nephew is slightly better imo, as it doesnt heat up and its smaller size allows for more precision.

If folks looking for something closer I would suggest MD Barber's dragon razor

Shea moisture's brush is pretty inexpensive and I've seen it get love from the bougie/elitist shaving forums

And their aftershave is goat

Slowly melt your face, brehs.
