She could be using tanning lotion. That's what use sometimes in the winter. I use the Jergen brand.

[quote author=Ileke-IdI link=topic=510489.msg7328081#msg7328081 date=1292268529]Guys, I need a little advice.

My natural hair is sometimes dry, after 5-6 days of conditioning.

I was thinking of mixing water and coconut oil in a spray bottle, for daily use to spray my hair. Is that healthy? undecided[/quote]Yes, that is a healthy option. You can also try making a hair spritz.

Here's an idea:

Here are some other uses for glycerin. Create your own mixture or recipe and spread the word if it works! Apply liquid glycerin to a cotton ball and use it to remove eye makeup quickly and effortlessly. Create a simple moisturizer by mixing equal parts of liquid glycerin and rosewater in a clean bottle. Cap the bottle and shake it well to mix the ingredients before each application. Mix one part glycerin with two parts water in a plastic spray bottle. Spritz this mixture onto hair to smooth it into place and control flyaways or frizz.



Rosemary Spritz:
6-10 drops of Rosemary essential oil
Aloe vera gel (about 1 tbsp)
Jojoba oil (2 tbsp)
Glycerin (1 tsp)
Pure water (about 4-5oz)
Suave conditioner (as needed)
Few drops of honey

amf, how old are you? If you're in your early teens, that sort of thing is normal in the beginning. The best thing to do is to is to go see an OB/GYN.
FashionRe: Extra Eyelashes Love It Or Not It Rocks. by InkedNerd(f): 5:47pm On Dec 13, 2010
I already have naturally big eye lashes but I wouldn't mind having more. Although I don't wear false eye lashes, I learned a trick to blending lashes and making them look natural. If you clip the lash in half and carefully apply the lash to the corner of your eyes, it gives a more natural look.

Inked_Nerd,

You haven't seen nothing. lol My grandfather who is African American from North Carolina used to tell me about living in the Jim Crow South. The stories he used to tell me when I was younger about the lynchings and how the whites disrespected black daily; it can make you cry.

Whites in the North are not blatant racist. But whites in the South are far from afraid of blacks. Many actually miss being in charge of blacks.
I've met a couple of older people who have told me stories of growing up in those times. It may be more obvious in the South but its still very prevalent in the North. Although people here may be more accepting, there are still some who tend to act as though it doesn't exist [mostly white people]. For example, my brother goes to a semi-specialized predominantly white school in Manhattan which has a reputation for having a students who often times stupidly and openly display they're underhanded racist views. I used to have friend from my brothers school and the people I knew from that school used to make racist comments and try to laugh it off because they felt that because they had black and hispanic friends that it was ok. I remember when I was a senior in high school and my school had a tournament at a predominantly white and asian high school in the Bronx. While at the tournament, three of my team mates went for a walk around the school [which we were free to do] and while going on this walk, they were stopped my the principal of the school and were bombarded with questions. They were eventually escorted to the principals office by a security guard/officer and questioned for several minutes. When he [the principal] realized that they weren't students of the school and that they were just visiting for the tournament, he was embarrassed and tried to play it off by saying he didn't question them because they were black and hispanic. In an attempt to try to smooth things over, he even said "I wasn't trying to being racist, my wife is black". I was like "Wtf, so that makes it ok huh?"

There was also another time when I was trying to get to a hotel for a banquet that being held and I asked a white police officer he knew where it was. The dude barely waited for me to ask my question before he said no. As I turned to walk away, a white girl walked up to him and asked him for directions to the same hotel and he pointed her in the direction of the hotel. Trust me, the racism here isn't as discreet as people think. There are a bunch of other events that have occurred while I was at other tournaments in other northern states. I will admit though things are really bad in the south.
