The thing about using Captain Holt as a reaction image is you don’t know if he’s saying “I’m so disappointed in you for making that joke” or “This is the funniest thing I’ve ever heard, I can barely contain the laughter.”
I’m watching the 2010 olympic ice dancing while I cook dinner and like
everyone else is in elaborate european national costumes dancing to traditional music and then these people come out and start dancing to country music and I’m like ‘that’s tacky but this dancing is fab so whatever’ but like
this isn’t the US
it’s the UK
I feel culturally appropriated and also confused????
I see your hoe tips and girl I love them but I gotta say something. DO NOT USE COCONUT OIL ON YOUR HAIR ESPECIALLY IF YOURE WHITE. I’m a hairdresser and we get girls coming in all the freakin time saying that they did a coconut oil conditioning treatment they saw online and now their hair is damaged. There’s a compound in coconut oil that will break down keratin (your hairs protein) after a couple uses, and the only reason it feels “soft” is because the oil coated the strands and is eating it. If you want to do a all natural treatment, use olive, almond, avocado oils, nuts are also really good. Just a girl tryin to save some hoes (also it’s not too good to use on your face unless you’ve got EXTREMELY dry skin)

Thanks again girl!
Ok so I looked up this stuff, and there is lauric acid in coconut oil (which can be found in soaps and shampoos), that can damage your hair if you leave it on for hours and hours, and you have very thin and brittle hair. But! Coconut oil is beneficial against mechanical damage to hair, because it penetrates the hair shaft really deeply, unlike most oils, so it decreases the hair’s hydrophilicity, which means that water won’t penetrate the hair that much. And that’s good for us, because the hair fibers swell up and de-swell again from contacting with water, and that can cause a bunch of damage to it. So with like most things, using coconut oil moderately is good, just don’t go overboard with it. (meaning that maybe only use it like once a week for half an hour, and not for an overnight treatment)
If your child has lice, use ANY OF THESE OILS overnight. Not only will they wake up with silky smooth hair, but the density and lack of traction caused by oil (after their hair has been soaked and put under a shower cap for the night) will kill all the lice. It’ll suffocate both live bugs and eggs. This is coming from basically the only girl in school who never got lice even during a huge lice breakout because my mother worked in the NYC school system for so long (lice city…) and learned a trick or two. Her class was always the only one without lice.
I know this doesn’t connect exactly to the post. But I thought I’d just tell you another benefit to a lot of these oils.
So listen to all the stuff about coconut oil! But ANY OIL listed will work ☺️
