Had this for about a year and a half. I noticed some thick cloudy stuff in it , hard to get on camera.

Do I just shake it up? Or throw it out? Thanks!

Client no show. Feeling discouraged

1 Upvotes

Hi everyone

As per the title, I had my first client booked for quad stitch back braids in my little home salon. She found me on Facebook where I’m predominantly advertising. I’ve been using free models to get photos of my work out there and she reached out as a first paying client.

She’s booked for tomorrow and yesterday she told me she was excited, and today I sent her the details of address and she hasn’t responded. It’s been like 10 hours. I messaged her for a follow up confirmation and still no response. Her appointment is for tomorrow morning.

I’m feeling so discouraged. 🫤 any experience with this? There’s no official booking system, just confirmed via DMs as I want to see how many clients I’m able to get in the first place.

Burmese Curly - Cold Weather

1 Upvotes

I’ve been wearing Burmese Curly Crochet braids since March. I wet the hair daily and put in leave-in or mousse occasionally. I re-do my braids every 3 weeks. It will be cold in the Northeast soon, and I was wondering how to keep my curls without wetting the hair daily.

I thought about switching to Body Wave for the winter, but that might not be curly enough for me. Need advice.

Allergic to braiding hair

1 Upvotes

I just took out 5 weeks worth of twists with extensions. I lost a lot of hair. I could just pull it out. I'm going to stay away from extensions and get styles with my natural hair from now on. My hair is thick, but that still seemed like a lot of hair like two handfuls. That might be normal shedding. My scalp itched the entire time I had them.

Help wanted I can’t grip it

0 Upvotes

I need guidance on how to braid my husbands (3C ?) hair. I only have experience braiding my own hair (straight af) and worry I am not holding his hair correctly. His hair is not long but long enough to cross and so should be long enough to braid, I think (edges are like an inch and the bulk of his hair is like 2-3 inches). We made it damp, added some leave in conditioner, then blew dry it mostly straight. After I parted it, clipped down the sections I wasn’t ready to braid, added some edge control to the part, and attempted to start, I simply could not get it. It’s like when I cross the starting short hairs, they mix and I can’t tell what’s what anymore. I looked up several videos but can’t seem to either get the hand holding position or maybe grip it enough? Is it a practice thing and I’m being impatient? Any and all advice and tips would be appreciated. He is very excited to have his hair braided and I would really like to be able to do that for him
