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:
balm-e1434150061110.jpg


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

but just the Gel and the Toner above.

been shaving with my Edwin Jagger
think i have a ritual down to reduce bumps

and it revolves around hot towel/hot shower

pre-oil (castor oil and olive oil)
i have a natural shaving soap and been using a synthetic brush
shaving
cold rinse
then making an aspirin mask (4-5 tables , witch hazel, couple drops of tea tree oil). Applying that, letting it dry and rubbing the dried grains on my face
cold rinse
follow that up with

It kills odors from the inside out, I tried it and it works, I ONLY didn't buy a second bottle is because its too expensive for me (One bottle costs 20 bucks).

It makes your poop green though.

From reading the amazon comments it doesn't work for everyone so it depends on your body chemistry :yeshrug:
i was skeptical at first but i picked up a bottle and tried it. Didnt notice how well it worked til the bottle ran out:scust:


So ill be copping another one soon. Actually, ima look up the active ingredients and see about making my own

edit: found a cheaper product on amazon, works the same

Always always always have a Andis T- Outliner in your arsenal no matter what. They are a life saver. You can even use them to shave

If you work on your feet for long hours, hit the gym alot, construction, sweat alot, etc.. A splash of Gold Bond between the nuts after a shower is:noah:

After that shape/line up, shave, or simply rubbing down a sore leg muscle.. the 99% rubbing alcohol is the lick

Guys what do you do for the Charlamagne sunken dark bags under the eyes?

Please nobody making some dumb guesses of what you THINK or what you "HEARD"...people always do that.

I'm hoping someone who used to have them and knows from experience what is best than someone who just went on yahoo answers.

Please somebody cause i wanna fix this issue...im young but it makes me look tired all the time even when im not and as if im strung out. if you dont know for 110 percent sure a certain cream works then dont tell me

please somebody say something that definitely works.
