People’s reactions when a woman says she isn’t interested in a man that is interested in her are absolutely terrifying and disgusting. They honestly think the man’s right to have her is more important than her lack of interest. Like, because he is interested in her he deserves to have exactly what he wants and she is supposed to just ignore her lack of connection and put her feelings aside and cave to his desires. ‘Give him a chance’ and ‘you might grow to like him’ and every other excuse in the book is just a dressed up version of ‘he wants you and your opinion and feelings don’t matter at all because your life is secondary to his’

Someone who truly loves you can’t be stolen. If they cheated, they made a choice. And now, it’s time for you to make yours.

Oil is a sealant.

If your hair is dry and you use oil, you will seal in the dryness.

To moisture use water and water based products such as leave in conditioners. Then use a natural oil on top to seal the moisture in.

This is the truest tweet I ever read. I never seen a mainstream haircair/beauty brand try to cater to black folks without doing exactly this. Always with the shea butter and gold packaging. It’s like the only way black women will know the product is “for them”.

Mario Badescu has already been hit with legal repercussions for the excruciating, disfiguring results of some of its formulations. In 2013, the brand settled a class action lawsuit brought against it for failing to disclose the inclusion of strong steroids in at least two of their products. The steroids, hydrocrotisone and triamcinolone acetonide, can trigger enlarged capillaries and dermatological misery, including skin atrophy. This is where the skin becomes so thin that it easily perforates, leading to infection, diseases, fungal growths, rashes and blistered skin that oozes, burns and peels. Of course, this looks as awful as it sounds. Worse, skin atrophy can cause problems with other medical issues; even removing a bandage can rip open the afflicted skin.

The refusal of Mario Badescu to disclose the steroids in its products meant that, when they silently changed the formulation to remove them, customers were slammed with the consequences of topical steroid withdrawal. The entire deceptive operation was discovered when one longtime Mario Badescu fan—who now describes the brand as “a horrible, unethical company”—started suffering severe side effects. When she posted on Amazon about this, others chimed in with the same issues. After comparing notes, the group mobilized to collect data and challenge the brand. One plaintiff, who evangelized Mario Badescu to friends and family for years before suffering injuries due to one (now discontinued) product, says, “To say I am disgusted, shocked, disappointed [and] furious with Mario Badescu for this long-term deception is all a huge understatement…BEWARE. I would not trust ANY Mario Badescu product again, ever.”
