Random Hair Thoughts/Thinking out loud

Don't worry be happy
So I was still hanging onto o soft boar bristle brush to smooth down the front of my hair. TBH I have rarely used it since I've been doing twists for the last 2 years and now twist-outs.

It fell into the toilet. And you know what? I was upset for a moment and then a thought came "Good! you don't need that." I just fished it out and chucked it in the bin. No plan getting another one. I honestly don't need it.

You do not need hair tools.

I straightened my 5-6 day old hair lady night. It’s so silky and smells so good. It was raining all week so I had celies under a wig before I ironed my hair.

I gave myself a good trim all over, it was much needed... I love the fresh trim feel and fullness look, but lord ham mercy I feel like I cut all my progress away even though I didn't.

I have about 8 or 9 of those growing in my yard now. I hardly use any of them for my hair though. We in the Bahamas use them mostly for internal health, not for our hair. The Rastafarians tend to use them for their hair however.

I might try cutting a stem and use it on my hair just to see if I like it.

Girl one of the many reasons I miss home (originally from Barbados) There are sooo many things I scoffed at as "bush" but I really value it now.

Guava leaf for example, I cannot believe I pay money for things that fall on the ground in peoples backyards at home :rolleyes: :lol:

Sigh, if I had a big aloe plant I would do wonderful scalp pre-poos. I have a plant in my house but he's in the struggle bus :nono::lol:. He's not happy this far north, growing surely but verrry slowly. I can't bear to remove even one leaf...

Well I better count my blessings then and take advantage of what's afforded me while I can. Thanks for waking me up with your post. Time to take my blender out again to puree the aloe and add it to my hair alone or add it to my deep conditioner as a treatment on a regular basis.

AB Brands LLC

Looks like they owned Dr Teals, Cantu and Bodyology before they sold to a private investor.

Hmm, the innanets say they rebranded

I worked at Advanced Beauty Systems full-time for more than a year

Pros

Great, solid consumer brands before the owner sold them all.

Cons

The owner is unbearable, unprofessional and an out right terrible person. He fires people without notice,project transition or a paycheck. Any unused vacation pay is also kept by management. He simply uses people and then discards them. Don't work here, even under a new name AB Brands and operating as a start up (3 - 4 employees) it's still a terrible place to work. Imagine the worst and then imagine the unimaginable.

Advice to Management

Treat your employees better than your dogs and give some thought to how your choices impact their families. It takes more to be a Christian than saying it. Do your self and everyone else a favor and don't try to create a new business. Enough people have suffered.

Yall i used QP elasta mango butter leave in and sealed with dax grease (about 1 tbsps worth), waited a day then sprayed my hair up with tresemme heat tamer. Then blowdried with the Revlon blow dryer brush and for the first time in history I gave myself a salon level blowout. I am in awe.

I keep forgetting I have some Chebe powder. I might make a mask out of it this weekend.

Have to see what I can add to it, maybe some coconut milk powder and milk with a little of SM base conditioner.... Hmmm

Evan Joseph is a jerk. I asked him about Deva products and he was so nasty to me. I unsubscribed from his IG. He is more concerned with his coins than using quality products on his clients. His response held me back from making appts with my colorist. I’m stuck in a holding pattern.

What did he say? I thought he carried Deva in his salon.
