@BlueRevolution I've thus far given you the benefit of the doubt that you've been serious, and hoped to learn more from your situation to better my position as a professional.

But it's clear now that you're just being argumentative.

Have the day you deserve 😘

@BlueRevolution I'm not arguing with you! If there's something science doesn't yet understand about your particular situation that makes you invulnerable to yeast infections, I'm hoping that you leave your body to science to help us further our understanding of the human skin biome!

Do you not think that's a good idea?

@BlueRevolution Correct! Hair care as we know it wasn't around prior to 1890 give or take!

Prior to that, people used to only care about preventing parasites. We used a lot of talc based powder, spit based pomades, and various other things that didn't even really prevent parasites either.

People also used to lose their hair from syphilis and wear a lot of wigs to cover balding.

Doctors also used to leach out the "bad blood" to "cure" people.

Would you still use that medicine?

@FinnegansWhacked It never fails.

Actual covos:
"Rinse and repeat until your hair is clean"
"I wash twice, is that not enough?"
"Idk, is it clean after twice?"

"Wash your hair at minimum every 5 days, more frequent is better."
"Idk, someone said to use water only once a month, seems to be working for me."
*looks at scalp*, "you know you have what looks to be a yeast infection?"

Never fails.

@BlueRevolution

If you manage to continue this for over a year, without any medical scalp conditions, I recommend leaving your body to science.

As a person who's not only been in the industry for a decade, but studied under people who've been in the industry since the 1960s, and saw and grew with the advancements in technology in our industry, as well as won several awards for their knowledge and expertise, I can confidently say that you are an anomaly.

@Myana Hair care as we know it was just starting to be a thing in the early 1900s, and today's cosmetic science was only just coming into its teen years in the 60s and 70s.

A lot of the old wives tales about hair care is from before the 1900s or at least before 1970.

Same era that the surgeons were doing bloodletting (leaching out bad blood)

Imagine how far we've come!

I'm glad someone helped her turn it around before it was too late!

It's amazing how much pushback I get against the recommendation to wash your hair regularly and effectively to prevent infections.

How many of you avoid washing your bodies? Hands? Ass Crack?

For weeks? Months???

Imagine if you avoided washing your hands for 4 weeks. All the things that your hands touch.

Now think of how many times you touch your hair? Scratch your head? Pull your hair back?

Dermatologists and trichologists are far more expensive than shampoo.

@BlueRevolution Hair? Maybe. Scalp, less likely.

Oils do cover the *signs* of dandruff, yeast infections, ringworm, etc. It doesn't mean they're not there or that they "got better".

These things lead to hairloss eventually.

Seeing a dermatologist or trichologist is far more expensive than actually washing your scalp. The minimum is once every 5-7 days. More frequent is better.

@VelvetDuchess Yea... ACV rinses *might* have been useful prior to the origin of cosmetic science and hair care in the late 1800s/early 1900s when we were only concerned with preventing parasites.

This works by completely fucking up the ecosystem in which they like to live, which would be healthy scalp and hair.

Please don't fuck up your scalp with 1800s technology in this century to solve a completely different problem.

Yeast is a fungus that thrives on natural oils. Parasites are not.

I cannot express enough, the importance of cleansing your scalp effectively, efficiently, and regularly.

Your scalp produces sebum, which is an oil, that traps dirt and debris.

Failure to remove these regularly, effectively, and efficiently leads to irritations and infections.

There has been an influx in yeast infections.

Do not go longer than 5 days, and rinse and repeat until all of your scalp is *clean*.

If you need a better shampoo do do this with, do that.

@Shenango_Linda So sweet!

@GreenLady08 Hello!
Typically Tuesday through Saturdays until 6pm CST

@Fiddies2 Include Blue Harvest in that marathon and it sound like a perfect time!

It is well known that oil and water don't mix. Your scalp produces a kind of oil, sebum, on a regular daily basis.

If you've ever done 3rd grade science experiments, you might remember that day you took water and olive oil and added a drop of soap.

Soap activates with water to break down the oil and mix the two together so that you can remove the oil from your scalp.

Wash your hair with shampoo regularly to avoid sebum build-up which can lead to fungal infections.

@ContentWarningVirusB42 That's more than the minimum! (4× a year is min).

If you like how they style it, when you leave, that's a great place to start!

They should be giving you tips and tricks and recommendations at every visit. But definitely ask if they haven't been.

@ContentWarningVirusB42

Ah, fine and curly! The thing about curls is that they're prone to frizz in humid climates, and also do best if you jostle them less, especially while wet.

I do specialize in curls! But techniques matter just as much as the products. Highly recommend partnering with a curl specialist near you.

There is, however, a link in my bio for more info, to getcha started :)

@countZZero It's typically done with stuff from the kitchen. Olive Oil, Coconut Oil, Avocado, Mayonnaise, Caster Oil, honey...

I've seen people make smoothies and just smack it on their hair... like...

I'm all about trusting the cosmetic chemists that formulated the product in the first place. It may or may not be a good product, but nothing from the fridge will make it better #hairtipsfromapro

If you have to "edit" your hair care product by adding something to it, you're not just admitting you didn't like the hair care product, you're also messing with the formulation of that product so it no longer works as it was intended.

It's worth it to find a formulation that actually works well for you, otherwise, you waste your money twice. Once by using a formula that doesn't work for you, and once again by editing it to make it not work as designed.
