The Natural Path to Radiant Eyes: Beating Dark Circles with Ease

Are you tired of looking tired? Dark circles can make us appear more exhausted than we feel, but nature offers some fantastic solutions. Here's a quick guide to brightening those under-eye areas with simple, at-home remedies:

Dive into Vitamin-Rich Fruits: Oranges, lemons, and grapefruits aren’t just for breakfast anymore. Their high vitamin C content can rejuvenate the skin around your eyes.

Oil Massage Magic: A nightly ritual of massaging a blend of coconut and almond oils under your eyes can nourish and gradually lighten dark circles.

Cucumber Eye Mask: Mix grated cucumber with a splash of lemon juice for a cooling mask. It's an age-old remedy for inflammation and dark shadows.

Hydration for the Win: Never underestimate the power of water. Keeping hydrated helps your skin stay plump and reduces the sunken-eye look.

Bath bomb - What is the best form of self care?

Currently my favourite form of self care is:

Stretching and a quick shower

Wearing cozy pyjamas

Some snacks, water and a hot drink nearby

Lavender oil in my diffuser

Either a light-hearted movie, a book (currently reading The Goddess Guide by Gisele Scanlon), Animal Crossing: New Leaf or just a relaxing playlist for entertainment

My feet soaking in a basin filled with warm water, rose bath tea, and olive oil until the water goes lukewarm

Then scrubbing with a foot file as the softened hard skin comes off easily

Then filing and buffing my toenails and thick cream on my feet before putting on fluffy socks

If it's the day I'm washing my hair I'll do a hot oil treatment with argan, black castor, and jasmine oil while my feet are soaking

If not I'll do a sheet mask and Klavuu lip mask

I like this because it feels really girly and relaxing and doesn't require anything other than an hour of my day and products I already have

sundays . draco malfoy x black!reader . wc: 482.

authors note: decided to clean out some of the stuff in my drafts :)

·:*₊‧ masterlist . taglist form . request works . ·:*₊‧✩

“so you really just sit with oil in your hair all day, and it helps?” draco asked from the other side of the bathroom, washing all of the hair grease, black castor oil away, a concoction of oils you made up on your own, and whatever else it was he’d helped you apply off of his hands.

this morning, like many others, hadn’t taken him long getting used to. all windows were open and free from the containment of blinds and curtains, the smell of soft bleach lingered through the halls and your body was no longer loosely weaving into his clinging one.

hours ago, he’d helped you clean at the little crooks in between the walls and counters, lit the candle as you sat yourself down in one of the stools and allowed him to make you both breakfast. sundays, became what he liked best when you moved in together — it was always the same and he was always eager for the last part.

for sundays, became hair and clean up days. more often than not, he’d tucker himself out and go back to bed until you woke him up for a glance at your hair, or an opinion on the next still — or fight off the sleep and sit concentrating in the bathroom along with you as you worked your magic.

this was the first time though, that he’d seen you apply all that you did. instead of simple mini twists or braids, it was a hot oil treatment, deep conditioning, protein treatment, and more oil. the result being an afro, beautiful and reaching out to the sun.

a breath left your nose, light in amusement as he asked the question for the second time with more awe than the last.

“yes draco really, it’s an extremely good thing within black communities for people to tell you that your hair looks oiled,” you confirmed, walking yourself to him drying off his hands and placing a kiss to his neck in thanks for help.

“i was so… uhm what’s the word?” you tusked, trying to jump start your brain “culture shocked? when i realized some people used that as an insult. like with you, when people told me that draco malfoy had the greasiest hair in the whole castle i assumed you took really good care of your hair.”

“really?” he smiled, his neck reddening with a blush.

“yeah but then it just turned out you abused the hell out of that gel.”

“alright, if you wanna bring up the past — you can just clean the bathroom all by yourself,” he shrugged, placing his hands on your hips to move you out of the way and start walking to your bedroom.

looking to shower that resembled a murder scene… but with strands of hair and too expensive conditioner, you reconsider your words.

“oh baby, i’m sorry, i didn’t mean it, please— ”

EZ spends the day making sure you know how much he loves you.

You awoke to a note on your bedside table, "come and find me." EZ's handwriting made you smile, a little heart at the end of the words. You got up, threw on a dressing gown, and made your way through the house, meeting EZ in the kitchen, "what have you got planned today?"

He smiled, "well Mi corazón, you've been working so hard I figure you deserve a treat so I've planned you a spa day."

He took your hand and led you into the bathroom, "strip."

You giggled, "oh, is it that kind of treat?"

He shook his head, "no, I made a body mask for you, you don't need to lose the panties if you don't want."

You smiled, "what a gentleman." He helped you take off your night clothes before rubbing the mask over your skin, "it tingles?"

He nodded, "mint oil, it's a theme today."

"Oh really, you've been doing some research?"

He nodded with a smile, "mint oil is good for both hair growth and skin health, there's also fancy castor oil in the hair mask I made."

You smiled, "Jamaican black castor oil?"

He huffed, "that's it, the lady at the store said it was the best money can buy."

You pressed a kiss to his cheek, trying to avoid smearing anything on him, "you're very sweet EZ." Once that had sat for twenty minutes, he helped you wash it off, then filled the tub and directed you to rest your head over the edge.

"Tell me if I tug on anything yeah?"

You nodded as he wet your hair and combed it out, "of course." He took his time, making sure to stop and rub your scalp and neck as he went, when your hair was brushed out, he got a handful of the homemade mask and spread it through the strands, "mmmm, that feels nice."

He smiled, "does it? I made sure to only buy the best."

You giggled, "gee wiz EZ, what else do you have in store for me today."

"After this, I'm going to wash this out, then shampoo and conditioner your hair then fix your curls so they're perfect. Then I'm going to do your nail and after that, we're going to spend the rest of the day cuddling on the couch watching your favourite movies."

You smiled so big your face hurt, "what did I do to deserve all of this?"

He pressed a kiss to your cheek, "you didn't do anything other than be mine and that's good enough for me."

Worlds Away JJK AU / Chapter 94 - Half-naked and Fucking Heroic

w/c - 6,762

Megumi wasn’t at all interested in attending the ceremony for he’s never really given two shits about clan activity. Why would he support the same people who ostracized his father? They’re the same kind of organization that feels their superior enough to manipulate human beings for their own ends. The magnitude of narcissism that breeds freely within the confines of the Zenin traditions blows his mind, it always has. He may have warmed up to Naoya but Zenin blood or not, Megumi truly does not affiliate himself with their obnoxious customs.

“How about if I wear it like this?”

Megumi’s tiresome eyes float over to Amnessia who stands in the doorway of the bathroom, to which his hollowness lights up right away. He’s never seen her with her hair up before but he’s finding that when her long braids are pulled back, her usually hidden features are allowed to shine. He gulps and gawks. She’s so incredibly gorgeous to him, like a mythical goddess absent of her thrown. In his loss of words, instead of his mouth his gaze courses over her wearing his oversized black tee so he can simply admire what his life has become.

When met with his silence, Amnessia’s face scrunches and she ducks her head backwards to double check herself in the mirror. ‘Am I way off base here? I thought it was a nice change!’. She took the time to meticulously unravel the front of her box braids, comb them out and then re-braid them going outwards from the part created down the middle. The rest of her braids, she gathered and weaved  into a giant braid that encircles her head like a halo. Just thinking about how tender her head will be for the next day or so compels her to huff in frustration but this also brought her back to when Master Suguru would let her practice on his hair. She tried her best to smile when it a the comb snagged a tangle or when she’d have to pull the scalp tight because she recalls the way Getou would give the same facade. He really wasn’t suitable for any of the hairstyles though, she won’t lie. Temujin was her test subject initially but his patience levels were never what they needed to be for her to learn much. Nonetheless, their efforts and agony paid off; she’d gained skill and technique through the manipulation of many types of hair, not just her own. She can beautify anyone.

If she’d extensions, the process would’ve been a little quicker but seeing as to all 30 inches of braids are hers alone and it was a bastard to untangle without causing damage. Megumi doesn’t exactly have the right products for her kind of fibrous coils either so she was scrambling to find a reasonable substitute. Why not have all this squared away prior to committing to this grueling process? Well, she was simply in dire need of a change and didn’t consider her endgame. All of her recently obtained memories leave her feeling slightly out of touch with reality, as if she’s not sure what’s concrete and what’s an illusion. The only thing on her mind in that moment was deconstructing the girl she thought she was and emerging as something better, fiercer. Ferocity was not the best descriptor as she was slinging her arms through his medicine cabinets and drawers, desperate to find some kind of anything that could be used to help protect her hair. Hope was beginning to sound like a word far too foreign.

She nearly cried when she saw the Castor Oil. It wasn’t ideal but its also the lesser of many evils as it can be absorbed by follicles to create a sheath. Regardless, she knew her up-do and edges were saved.

Megumi feels terrible for having left her to conjecture over his reaction. He was a little slow on the uptake there but was quick to follow up with a proper explanation. The instant his hands make contact with her hips, she gasps softly and views him through the mirror. Placing a kiss on her cheek, he informs her, “You are actually so pretty that I couldn’t get it out!”, relieved when her demeanor relaxes.

She turns around in his arms, facing him, “Most guys like it when you can pull the hair though.”, teasing him as her lips dance inches from his.

Megumi blushes, “Well most guys are idiots. There’s plenty of you for me to pull…”, lowering his neck to kiss her, “grab…”, their tongues dance, “touch…”. l He had no idea that his words could hold so much power because no sooner than he finishes the sentence and views her, Amnessia is wrapping her arms around his neck, pulling him closer. “You want to go again?”, he asks breathlessly into her lips, the strong, “Mmmmmhmm…”, cracking his face into a smile. When she hops herself onto the sink’s counter he wastes no time in aligning their bodies while she plants kisses to his neck.

They always say there’s a honeymoon stage where things are perfect and full of aspiring hope but unfortunately, his gut hints to this being something else. He’s aware that Amnessia may be exuding this strong sexual energy because of reasons other than desire, he’s smarter than that. He wants her, its all he can imagine while staring into her dark eyes but should he have her? She’s practically clawing his shirt away but he has to ask himself, ‘Am I taking advantage of her?’, the thought churning his stomach since he knows damn good and well that she’s under emotional distress. She literally found out that her life is a lie and that can’t be easy for anyone to endure, regardless of how well she’s holding herself together. God, he wants her like nothing else but on the same coin, if he’s to truly care for her, he needs to be able to make these kind of hard choices.

Amnessia’s lustful groping dies off when she feels Megumi’s hesitation. Her eyes dart up to his, purposefully expressing her hurt but the caring eyes that stare back weather her transgressed attitude. She understands why he’s doing what he’s doing...or not doing and is mature enough to respect his stance, finding she’s actually appreciative of it.

Sain arrives outside of the dormitory door, having traveled there with his presence masked. He feels out of place being on the campus but is at least made less uneasy when he senses all the turned on the outskirts of the property, though he wouldn’t mind seeing Suguru. Before he knocks, he thinks to himself, ‘I wonder what she’ll say about these!’, bleeding his excitement for the ceremonial robes. Amnessia wasn’t an official stop he had to make but since he’s already gathered all of the volunteers with a few minutes to spare, he figured he stop in to check on her. Despite his new friendliness with Genghis, Sain still believes that Amnessia has always deserved better and found her departure from the compound to be rather bittersweet because of this. He lifts his knuckles to the door and taps them politely.

Megumi jerks his head over to the right, eyes narrowed to the door. His friends are far too rambunctious to even begin to think it’s someone for him on the other side. “Wait here.”, he tells her as he stalks across the floor. It’s really faint but he’s become familiar enough to discern there’s a Titer as he nears. He halts when a stark possibility streaks by his mind,‘What if it’s her ex?’, he asks himself anxiously but then resolves, ‘I’ll just have to make sure he understands how things are now.’.

Sain goes to knock again but steps back when he feels the raging presence turning the knob. His eyes widen when he’s met with the glaring younger Fushiguro that harnesses the intensity of his father. He’s bewildered that this where her energy led him and rather immovable until her hears Amnessia’s small voice announcing, “He’s cool!!”.

“Who are you?”, Megumi barks while sizing the fancy man up. The whole wardrobe clogs him with apprehension since Sain appears so official, thinking Temujin must have something to do with his showing up. Megumi scrutinizes him harshly never having seen robes made of such fine silk, it almost as if Sain is truly wearing gold. ‘What could his purpose be?’, lingers in Fushiguro’s fears which causes him to take an aggressive step forward.

“Stoppppp”, Amnessia barrels between the men, inviting Sain inside. She glances to Megumi with a pout while thinking, ‘How alpha of him...I wouldn’t have assumed that.’, communicating with her eyes that Sain is no threat. Once she has him inside, she ignores Megumi’s annoyed mannerisms while he closes the door and immediately draws attention to Sain’s ensemble. “You look so GOOD in that!!”, she squeals, revolving him to get a full view, “In my opinion, you should’ve been wearing these.”. She flips the end of his long flowing black hair and feels warmth from the twinkle in his soft gray eyes. He is certainly deserving of the role.

Sain smiles widely, knowing that he was right in hoping Amnessia would celebrate this promotion and bows his head to show gratitude. He lifts it back up to offer, “You look stunning with your hair like that. Necks shall break today.”, happily playing along with her quick vogue dance before stating, “It happened yesterday…”. She attentively listens as Sain fills her in with joy saturating his voice, “Master Genghis bestowed this upon me and said I’m to represent the Titers alongside Master Suguru this evening. I think he may still make an appearance though.”, the end sounding more of a pitchless warning than conversation.

Megumi’s expression hardens to the mention of Temujin and he even lets out a tiny, Zenin-defined “Tch.”. Rather than listen to this blasphemy that raises that convoluted old Titer higher, Megumi decides to start grabbing up his loaned ceremonial outfit because there’s no way in hell he’s going to let her go alone now. “Fucking Titers…”, he grumbles while lifting what used to be Gojo’s outfit up so he can dread donning them. He told Satoru that he would try to forgive him, though he admitted to not knowing how long it would take so being forced into the Gojo’s light blue feels like it’ll be more of a straight jacket. When he turns to look over at Amnessia and Sain, he finds Sain’s eyes on him, his own emerald daggers narrowing in return.

“So...the younger Fushiguro, huh?”, Sain was surprised to find her with another man and although he trusts her judgment, he wouldn’t be a good friend if he didn’t at least inquire. “That’s quite a change missy!”.

“Trust me, I didn’t see it coming either…”, she looks down and smiles, “But I think they’re wonderful people, Toji and Megumi both. Everyone else has been really helpful too!”.

Sain thinks back to his encounters with Toji and raises his brow briefly while recalling how terrifying it was to square up with the giant. He follows his orders but that doesn’t negate his comprehension of their danger when they involve such opposition.

The day of their Titer attack when they failed to catch Elska was a day he also almost shit his briefs. Sain assumed he was mistaken or perhaps he misunderstood when Genghis proposed the whole let’s take Toji instead notion. His heart about fell right out of his ass when his wide eyes provided a visual on the giant that he was personally assigned to. They’d all just watched Toji tear through the humans as easily as warmed butter can be sliced so his thoughts were treading along the lines of, ‘Fuck you Genghis, fuck that, fuck no and is this some kind of joke????!!’, but alas he couldn’t show his cowardice in front of Suguru. Aside from letting down his admired superior, Sain couldn’t let that dangerous task in turn befall Suguru either. No one may know other than Toji himself but Sain was trembling so violently, he nearly broke the syringe trying to stick him.

Then there’s the whole scuffle at the compound when Choso awakened., it was an all out brawl. When brought to this memory, Sain reflexively raises a hand to his throat where Naoya pierced him. Flustered isn’t the word. Naoya isn’t exactly Sain’s type but the act alone was rather invigorating. Amnessia says something to him but it doesn’t reach him; he instead accidentally stares off but recovers the mood by saying, “Make sure Toji knows we’re friends…”, when she looks perplexed, he adds, “I’d much rather have him as an ally than foe and we’ve had a rocky start. If he knows we’re close, maybe I’ll live a little longer...”.

Amnessia giggles and agrees, “Toji’s really a nice guy! He’s been so kind to me despite my having come from the compound. Megumi too!”, she turns around to smile at the fuming Jr while adding, “They won’t beat you up Sain, I promise.”.

‘I’m glad he at least gets it.’, Megumi’s thinks before blurting out, “We don’t fuck around. That’s why we’re feared.”. Megumi’s voice chills the others and he can tell as all laughter fades from the room.

Sain picks up on the not-so-subtle cues that he’s intruding on their time and thinks its best to leave. ‘The younger one is quite intimidating as well…’, Sain muses internally, ‘If he’s anything like his father, he’s going to a high-level contender in the future.’.

“Where are you going?!”, Amnessia notices Sain leaning towards the door but he stops to pull something from his robes first. She holds out her hands and accepts a thinly wrapped paper package fastened with golden twine tied around it. “What is it?”, she asks while fiddling with the bow.

Sain smiles to her and informs, “It’s been decided unanimously among us all that you are still one of us, no matter where you go…”. He waits for her to tear it open before he proceeds with, “You don’t have to wear it but if you so want to, we’d be honored as a clan.”. He truly misses her.

Megumi scowls at the beautiful golden yukata but clashes with himself when he sees how much the gesture means to Amnessia. His head lowers while he determines that his own insecurities are about to ruin everything again and takes a deep breath. ‘Don’t be a douche…or you’re no better than him.’, he mantras while settling his inner demons. He’s going to just have to disregard the symbology their attire stands for and simplify the evening into a date of some sort. It’s not one he’d pick himself but fuck it, this is making the best out of bad situation.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

“My lovvvvvve!”, Gojo wobbles his way over to Suguru and Elska, still bleeding pretty badly and somewhat out of sorts. He’s woozy and unstable; this becoming obvious when he reaches them.

Elska catches him when he stumbles to a stop, helping him balance so he can wipe the hair and blood from his forehead. Tears well when she takes in the details of his mangled state, angry but also elated to see he’s alright, “What the hell were you doing out here with Sukuna, Sati!?”. Her tone is of concern but she’s also on edge because of how helpless he seemed in the Malevolent Shrine, “And why are you still naked?! You must be freezing!”.

“Research.”, is all he gives in the form of great exhalation and dramatics. He leans against a tree and smirks when Suguru grunts with discomfort, knowing the two-headed truth. They share a quick glance that leaves Getou chuckling to the insanity that is Gojo himself but they both settle down when Elska bends a knee to pick up Toji’s worm. Suguru’s heart flutters to her acceptance of curses; to monsters like them in general.

Satoru whines to the pain palpitating through his body until he focuses on Elska. His body spikes in heat as his remaining blood rushes around, spawned of his desire to drink in new vitality. His fangs protruding automatically, hooking themselves across his split lip. She seems to sense his intentions because she starts to slide the cloth from her shoulders. His pupils dilate.

“It is indeed cold out here so suck it up for now, you’re not dying anymore.”, Suguru drapes his golden robes over Elska, drawing the curtain on this nonsense, and then scoops her off the ground. He takes a few steps forward before reversing his gravity to float Itadori’s body behind him. Stopping once more, he asks, “Are you two coming or what?”, half wishing Choso would get lost. He’s positive the being was containing Sukuna’s domain and to have that kind of ability is demoralizing for anyone that isn’t Choso himself.

“Well duh-…”, but Gojo’s arm is pulled back when he tries to follow so he turns around and asks, “The fuck now?”, his renown pride already in shambles from that grotesque defeat. Satoru finds himself facing the purple dashes in Choso’s eyes and comprehends that more secretive shit is about to transpire. He sighs, watching his love become smaller in a shirtless man’s arms as more Earth is placed between them but surrenders, “Fine.”. He knows he cannot take these special conversations lightly, despite his own fouled mood.

They hear, “We’ll catch up!”, from Gojo but Suguru pivots in place to make sure that thing wasn’t trying anything funny on his new frenemy. He increases his presence as if to solidify to Choso that he hasn’t forgotten about being put to sleep or any of the other sketchy behaviors born of this new form of his.

Gojo’s surprised by the defensive stance Getou takes as he reads through body language that the Titer is actually concerned for him. ‘Wow…’, Gojo’s eyes flinch, ‘Suguru really might be my friend too.’. His view drops down to Elska in Getou’s hold and forms a smirk while thinking to her, ‘I’ll only be a few minutes…”, blowing her a quick kiss, “Then I’ll pin my little love down and feed.”.

Elska feels a flush of warmth cascade across her body in response to her sweet Sati’s naughty words. The smallest whimper exits her throat as she clings to Suguru, wanting nothing more than to be dominated by her white knight.

“Err...yea, let’s go.”, Getou clears his throat while staving off his instinctual need to satisfy his obviously aroused master. He felt the moment her presence changed and was glad she was hiding his wanting evidence with her body. Rolling his shoulders back, he attempts to shrug away the natural temptation to initiate a situation that would sate every ounce of her thirst. Her fixated gaze draws a groan for he does not need eyes to know that she will undoubtedly be lathered with expectancy and he can’t see that right now. Sure, Gojo sparked the fire but one touch too coy or a sound too sweet and Suguru is bound to take her right there in the pools of fallen leaves. It amazes him how she still has no idea how profoundly her existence affects him. A cold gust rips through the trees, causing them both to shiver. Pausing, he turns his head up to the sky and calls for his wings and then braces for their arrival.

Elska bites her bottom lip when they take form, his beautiful golden-streaked brown metal feathers encompassing them both. She imagines how they must look from afar; reaching for his wings as the word, ‘Mystical’, echoes in her thoughts. His large and flawless physique, the long raven hair, those incredible wings; all of this leading her to believe he appears to fit the otherworldly bill more than she ever could. “My Titer…”, inaudibly escapes since she could not bear to contain her fondness for his personal growth.

“This should help us a little.”, he muses to her delayed astonishment when 90% of the wind was minimized from his shielding. She curls up closer to him, the act making him still for a second to merely be able to swallow down that this is real. “Little one…”, Suguru pulls her in even more, absorbing every detail of their brisk isolation. Gone are the days where he stewed in anxiety over whether he had a place beside her, at every turn she presents with chronic acceptance. He’d bet his life on her feelings now. “We’re almost there.”, the inevitable message crushing a dent into the prominent smile now cementing his face while dramaturgically slowing his pace. ‘Just a little more time…’, but truthfully, he wishes this could last indefinitely. If Suguru could physically grab hold of this flowing and comfortable intimacy between them and tie it to his neck to keep it present, he would. The forest thins, however, and their home peers through holes in the foliage. He senses two new shaman but they’re complete opposite in terms of cursed energy, ‘There’s also Zenin, Toji and that stupid fucking bodyguard. He decreases his walking speed again, deflating until a wave of that creepy energy emits from behind them, causing Suguru to glare in the direction they just came from. ‘Who are you now, Choso?’, he questions internally while trying to successfully figure out whatever it is that he’s once again missing.

Choso throws Gojo’s right arm over his shoulder, indicating that he’ll help him trek back to their home and interrogates, “Did you learn anything today Satoru?”.

Gojo leans more weight than necessary into the being, spitefully anguished by his failure in the domain and taking the highest offense from the ball breaking. He says nothing but reluctantly accepts Choso’s assistance while scouring the scenery for anything to occupy his fragmented ego. He maintains his silence defiantly.

Choso lightens his tone, “I only ask because it’s imperative that you did.”.

“You know what?”, Gojo snaps angrily, “I was fine back there. I had it under control.”. Embarrassed by the presumed lecture, he slumps away from Choso and limps on his own to keep up the pace. All he hears is a growl before Choso’s energy waves past, shoving him forward, face down into the grass. “WHAT THE FUCK CHOSO?!”, Gojo hisses to every single ounce of agony floating through his entirety and writhes in the dirt before stifling back to his feet. If he didn’t know any better, it would seem as though Choso wants a piece of him next. He snarls a warning, one that is melodic to his desire for vengeance.

“Stop this nonsense, Satoru, before it gets you killed.”, Choso’s sharp, glowing eyes land onto Gojo who’s brushing himself off, “Because that’s what would’ve happened. You couldn’t reactivate your Infinity because you underestimated your ability to adapt to a situation prominent with unknown variables.”. He retains his heated expression until the insolence rescinds from Gojo’s face, “Your brain, your mind...its all magnificent and special Satoru but its still a brain. If you deprive it of oxygen, its function becomes compromised just like anyone else’s. You may think you’ve completely harnessed and mastered your abilities because of your status in comparison to much weaker shaman in this society but today should show you that there is still room for improvement.”. He’s met with audaciously vicious two-toned eyes but chooses not to beat the prideful turned while he’s down. “Sukuna would’ve killed you Satoru...even with Elska’s interference. You’re aware that he let her in, right? At no point were you in control once you entered his domain.”. He watches Gojo’s eyes widen with culpability but continues with, “You played your little game with King of Curses and still thought you could pull it off without your defenses. Only an addled man would concoct such poorly thought out strategy.”.

Gojo feels his rage boiling over. He gets it. He actually knew he royally fucked up when the chains immobilized him.  It was an experience he will never forget regardless of how long he lives. Nothing Choso is saying is wrong, Satoru simply cannot lick his wounds with an audience for its beyond his capabilities of adherence with humility. He can tell the being is waiting for some kind of response though so sly Satoru gifts him with a simple but riled, “Fuck off.”

That was not what he wanted to hear. “You need to understand…”, Choso whispers this prior to slamming Gojo against a tree, forcing the battered, cocky shaman to pay attention. “You are the strongest Satoru…”.

Gojo haughtily smirks but it fades as the rest reaches his ears, his natural but darkened irises returning.

Choso loosens his grip to form a soft graze across Gojo’s face, “...but your arrogance is a grave weakness.”

Satoru’s eyes illuminate back into that wild, dichromatic fashion. He’s absolutely infringed by the odiousness being handed to him right now. He snarls down, right into Choso’s face and asks, “If you know so much, oh Great One, why did you let it go on as long as you did? Did you enjoy my ignominy?”. It was as if venom leaked from Gojo’s lips. He rightfully feels like he was set-up.

Choso releases him and continues walking, knowing that there is going to be a confrontation shortly. When Satoru jabs him in the back, the being calls for him to catch up. When Satoru does, albeit stubbornly, Choso explains, “I needed you to feel instinctual fear Satoru. I needed you to understand that you’re not completely untouchable.”. He sighs wholeheartedly, “Elska and the others will always come to your aid but you’ll fail them if you allow yourself to be bested. Their loyalty towards you will lead them to their deaths if you do not start taking our plight more seriously. Would you really want to put the role of protector on anyone else when you know without a doubt that you, Satoru, are the best candidate for it?”

“Of course not…”, there’s no excuse, Gojo knows it, ‘Choso’s right...that fucking cunt.’.

“Well then…”, The being smiles warmly and leads them through the roots, brush and trees, “Be upset with me if you wish but it was a necessary epitome for you, Satoru.

Gojo stops dead in his tracks with squinted eyes, “You’re such a dick!”. Not even he was prepared for such an erroneous oversight so to find out that Choso predicted he’d do that all along is as irritating as the fact that he practically handed Sukuna his life on a platter. This is all evidence of his undeniable L.

“Mictlantecuhtli knew, not me alone.”.

“You know what I mean, Choso!”.

The being inhales deeply, “We want you to be successful even with all the odds against you Satoru. You must be more careful when fighting opponents you don’t directly know much about. Call it personalized training.”.

Satoru’s malice extinguishes, he realizes where Choso is coming from now; he’s trying to prepare him for the King and his army. “You could’ve just talked to me about it you know…”.

Choso giggles innocently, “No I couldn’t have. You’re head is far too thick.”.

A chuckle leaves Satoru as well, “I guess we’ll never know.”, throwing his hands up playfully before he’s eventually drifting off into a quiet state. He retreats into his mind, disinclined to remember what it felt like to be utterly weak. If he’d attempted a risky move with the King and lost the upper hand, he would be dumping the burden of survival onto all the people he’s grown to care for. He’d typically find his own defeat to be nothing but a pipe dream but despite his lack of verbal recognition, Gojo appreciates the rude awakening he was lured into. The very thought of either Sukuna or the King getting their hooks into Elska stokes a long forgotten flame within. Satoru’s hands form into tight fists; their shaking a result of the sheer malevolence trickling out from the cracks of his recently-found sanity. He can never allow something like that to repeat. They need him. The calming atmosphere causes Satoru to admit something he’ll never own up to again, “Choso…”, he begins softly, “All I could think about when I was fading out was wishing her voice was a hallucination. That feeling I experienced when she was being taken away by Sukuna...was it helplessness?”, he stews for a second over his own rhetorical question, “All I know is it was worse than being sealed. He fucking had her and I was terrified.”

Choso raises an eyebrow, respecting the vulnerability as they break past the last of the forest. “Good. That’s impertinent to your growth.”, is all Choso says as he watches Suguru close to entering the building, “Let that be an apotheosis as to why you shouldn’t fool around when faced with adversaries. You have to be more disciplined for I expect a greatness from you that requires nothing less.”. Choso softens his expression, “I need you to be independent on this forefront; to know that there may not always be someone to save you from yourself. That whole ordeal was extremely reckless.”.

“I know…okay?”, Gojo’s breathless admittance is overshadowed by a crippling breeze, “I’ll be more careful in the future…”.

“Speaking of the future…”, Choso says this while motioning for the scowling Suguru to wait up, now looking back at Satoru while explaining, “Today is a big day for Naoya and the clans all together but it will not go without intrusion.”.

Gojo’s eyes dart over curiously, intrigued by what that means.

“He officially ascends to the head of his clan today so we must attend the ceremony to show support and force.”. Choso looks past the suspicion on Getou’s face, as if its not happening at all, and continues, “That means you’re going to have to go home to retrieve the proper attire.”.

Suguru is mystified by the white wash of Gojo’s features after he heard that he’d simply need to stop by the Gojo estate. He thinks its a joke at first possibly but when Satoru fails to bounce back with some kind of witty remark but rather stands there, its easily determined that there’s far more to this picture than what’s on the shown within the frame. He feels bad though. Getou can immediately recognize the vibe of a shattered home because he’s so familiar with those kinds of energies.  

Elska notes that desolation in her sweet Sati as well so she ruminates on his home life and relationship with his parents. She still isn’t aware of what happened with his mother and is only now realizing that he’s actually never enlightened her about his home.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

“Yea here, let me…”, Naoya guides Yuuta and Maki out of the doorway as they prepare to receive Gojo and company. He smells Gojo’s wretched blood before he ever lays eyes on it which has him extra attentive but nothing could have structured him enough for what he’s about to see. Naoya’s pristine smile breaks into pieces when he perceives that Elska has been outside for God knows how long. Not only that though, he’s forced to take in how fucking comfortable she seems in Getou’s arms...dressed in Getou’s clothes. Getou himself? Half-naked and fucking heroic. The golden light travels over Naoya once he stampedes over in their direction to hurriedly snatch Elska away.

Suguru growls under his breath but ultimately has to give her up in order to show some good faith. He regrets that he’s caused Naoya to loathe him this deeply and takes ownership for his wrong doings in the past. That, however, doesn’t mean he doesn’t feel some urge to slug the Zenin across the face for assuming Elska was in harm’s grips around him. Their eyes meet for a brief moment and the amount of tension born of that millisecond could’ve suffocated them all.

Naoya sets Elska to her feet and physically moves in between them, his view flashing to Yuuta.

Okkotsu’s dead eyes flare open; he’s certain that Naoya is trying to convey the reality of his new nature. That’s irrelevant though, Yuuta is also certain of the goodness within the Zenin.

“Of all days…”, Naoya seethes while ushering Elska to go to the room. She refuses however, thus angering him further when he can tell its to ensure Suguru’s safety.

Choso struts in with Gojo but lifts the shaman’s arm up and over his head before bee-lining towards the commotion. His breaths are quiet yet exhausted as he considers how much time the turned are wasting with this constant discord. It isn't until he slips past Maki that he realizes Okkotsu has been studying him thoroughly, like he’s the only person in the room that’s even anticipating his taking action. ‘He will be a fantastic ally.’, the being retorts while counter-observing Yuuta’s immense curiosity, Choso’s eyes only fixating on his mark once Getou tries, “Chill the fuck out, Zenin. I fucking gave her those because of how cold it is.”. Choso’s brow furrows with displeasure; his attendance lining up perfectly.

Before Elska can even comprehend what’s happening, her prince who was literally right there next to her, is gone. His energy amplifies but is then its as if he’s instantly snuffed out; the Zenin energy compressed and shut down.

Naoya intended on knocking the fucking socks off of Getou; he even utilized his projection to ensure that the Titer wouldn’t have time to defend himself. His fist never met Suguru’s mandible though. Naoya stands there in awe as he tries to dissect how the hell Choso was able to completely dismember his projection and even catch that same fist, mid-hit. “Ch-Cho…”, the Zenin’s voice sounds stunned, lamentable but its probably because this is the first time Naoya is able to recognize the changes within the being. He’s finally aware of what everyone was already so sure of and the exacting darkness that pulsates through those violet dashes rocks him to the core. “Who…”, Naoya’s shaking breaths quicken, “Cho?”. Choso gently lowers Naoya’s arm while keeping their eyes locked and thinking to him, ‘Don’t be afraid. I am on your side now and always.’. There’s nothing Choso can do but try and smile when the Zenin yanks his hand away.

Suguru utilizes Naoya’s stupor to slip away with Itadori floating near, aiming for the small bedroom on this end of the house. All of the hairs on his body are raised, his eyes wide and mind racing. Choso nullified yet another powerful technique, just like his gravity, ‘But he also stopped Zenin from swinging…’, none of it makes sense. Something within him senses that Choso is not out to get them but he can’t figure out why that is when logic screams something is wrong here. There is something wrong with Choso period. Suguru’s been standing by the bed for about a minute before he finally lays Yuuji gently on top of the sheets. He now sits on the edge of the bed, running fingers back through his hair, ‘Choso was there when Sukuna’s domain took over. He was inside of it even.’. The possibility of the being going undetected rivets him with apprehension, ‘He’s too powerful.’. His head snaps up to the door once Toji’s barges through it.

“He’s fine…”, Toji’s face drops towards the floor in relief once he finds Yuuji in one piece, “Had to check.”.

Getou stands up awkwardly, poising himself the best he can. He and Toji make awkward eye contact, neither of them knowing what to say when there’s actually a lot they would like to discuss.

Toji examines Suguru’s lack of clothes and for a moment, grimaces thinking everyone is becoming nudists. A grunt leaves him when the racket from the foyer raises in volume so he grabs the knob to exit as quickly as he came. Suguru’s hushed words nearly cause him to clip his shoulder on the door frame because surely, there’s no way right? How the fuck did Gojo almost die?

Rather unnerved and irritated, Toji charges down the hall, takes a left and then rips open the door to the foyer screaming, “WHAT THE FUCK IS GOING ON OUT HERE?!”.

Its as if the entire room was captured in a photo; not a single soul making the slightest movement.

Elska does nothing to resist when her beloved grabs her hand and leads her down to their bedroom. Whispers stir from everyone as they depart, the bass from her prince’s voice carrying the farthest.

Toji guides her into the bathroom, shuts the door and simply embraces her. Her skin is unusually cool to the touch, prompting him to break away to turn on the shower.

Elska bears a smile but is concerned with how agitated her Big Bad Wolf seems. Rather than questioning anything, she undresses and goes to pass him to enter it but curls her fingers into his palm.

He groans wantonly until the smirk on his face is no longer something he can hide, “I’m right behind you.”. Toji pulls his shirt off overhead and sets it on the sink before his eyes take to the door, thinking, ‘Stay out fuckers.’, and locking the handle. He strolls back, sliding his pants down his hips to the floor, his gaze now tethered to the hazy silhouette of Elska behind the frosted glass. He’s missed this.

Large calloused hands streak down her sides just as she’s finished rinsing her hair. She opens her eyes and is instantly melting to the sight of Toji’s shimmering body and how he stalks her. His busy hands raise to her face, cupping her cheeks to help stabilize her for the impact of his affection. Elska’s fingers tangle into his dark locks, protesting his ever backing away. She misses this. Words are not needed to navigate their intended meaning, thoughts useless to better portray their desires. Language is being spoken but in the form gasps, whimpers and groans.

Toji pushes her against the tiled wall but lifts her tiny frame up until his hips trap her to his chest. Despite what this may look like, the giant is not trying to seduce her but is instead vying for intimacy in its purest form. He breaks their silence by quietly calling her name, inhaling deeply when she cries his own. Maybe rolling with it isn’t such a bad idea.

Orao has recovered but wishes he could be anywhere other than here. The bastardous one they call Toji is currently slobbering all over his beloved while he’s been set aside to fucking feel her excited  energy. He could hit them both right now; he’s fucking sick of this world and is sick of seeing her so fucking attentive to these other turned. It’s disgusting. The smallest whimper resounds through the door, damn near pushing him over the edge but he’s made to quickly tighten up once the room becomes more gregarious.

“This fucking guy…”, Gojo growls when the pathetic body guard freezes on the spot.

Suguru sighs, “Get to the bed before you make me fall too!”, suddenly thinking Gojo can make it all by himself.

Satoru rolls his body so he can flop to the mattress on his back but he holds on to Getou, pulling him down as well. The Titer frantically shifts around but Gojo uses his strength to playfully restrict any of Suguru’s movement, laughing out, “Your hair is so soft, just like my love’s!”. Satoru laughs wildly, despite his pain when the bodyguard is doused in confusion and to further unsettle the stranger, he adds, “Nothing wrong with a pretty man now is there?”.

“WE WILL BE ENEMIES ONCE MORE SATORU!”.

Yuuta walks with Maki behind Choso, accidentally tuning out everything she’s relaying to him as he tries to place his finger on the being. His energy is so strange, not merely ominous. His eyes flicker forward to Naoya as his mind takes to the thought, ‘They’re all Elska’s but they’re so different…’, now comparing Gojo’s new wavelengths to the turned they encountered as well. When he enters their bedroom with everyone else, a cold chill rakes down his spine. His first reaction to the horror felt was to grab a hold of Maki’s hand as his head turns in search for the source of this heinously toxic energy, Orao. Yuuta’s hands move to draw his sword, ‘There’s no mistaking it…’, he thinks with hollow eyes and a single word on the tip of his tongue, ‘He’s the same.’.

My recommended oil cleansers:

✨Jojoba oil (this is most alike the skin sebum in its pH so it's extra harmonizing to the skin. I never met someone who didn't like it. You can even infuse some herbs into it to increase its brilliance)

✨Castile soap (this is my go-to!)

✨Saponified soaps made from whole, high-quality ingredients from nature (I have a dead sea mud soap infused with chamomile that's divine💚)

✨African Black Soap cleansers (can be found as liquid Castile soaps or saponified soap bars)

✨Best Skin Ever oils by @livinglibationsofficial (not sponsored or affiliated, they are just my go-to in introducing people to oil cleansing or organic & holistic skincare)

✨Castor oil (especially best for the cold chilly days)

Just be sure that your product of choice is made from high-quality ingredients and not just deluding you with the labels. The body doesn't need the unfamiliar, synthetic ingredients from many commercial cleansers. They function as skin care band-aids at best. The liver gets burdened with trying to evacuate them from the body. And your skin isn't encouraged towards keeping its balance and vibrancy.

Go check out the previous skin care tips too!!

May all beings be blissful💚

Ayurvedic Medicine for Constipation - Kabj Hari Churn, its ingredients and benefits

In Ayurveda, constipation is a commonly recognized digestive disorder that is referred to as "Vibandha" or "Malabaddhata." It occurs when there is difficulty in passing stools, and the bowel movements become infrequent and challenging. Ayurveda, the ancient Indian system of medicine, views constipation as an imbalance in the body's doshas (biological energies) and attributes it mainly to an aggravation of the Vata dosha.

The concept of doshas in Ayurveda:

Vata: Governs movement, including bowel movements. It is dry, light, cold, and rough in nature.

Pitta: Governs digestion and metabolism. It is hot, sharp, and intense.

Kapha: Governs structure and lubrication in the body. It is heavy, slow, cool, and stable.

Causes of constipation according to Ayurveda:

Vata imbalance: The primary cause of constipation is an aggravated Vata dosha. When Vata becomes imbalanced, it can lead to dryness and sluggishness in the colon, resulting in difficult bowel movements.

Poor diet: Consuming foods that are dry, cold, and lacking in fiber can contribute to constipation. Additionally, irregular eating habits and excessive intake of processed and refined foods can disrupt proper digestion.

Lack of physical activity: Sedentary lifestyle and insufficient physical activity can slow down digestion and lead to constipation.

Suppression of natural urges: Ignoring the urge to defecate or suppress it due to various reasons can cause an imbalance in the colon.

Dehydration: Inadequate water intake can result in dry and hard stools, making them difficult to pass.

Mental factors: Stress, anxiety, and emotional disturbances can also influence bowel movements through the gut-brain axis.

Warm, cooked, and moist foods are preferred over cold and dry ones. Drinking warm water throughout the day helps to maintain proper hydration and aids digestion.

Lifestyle modifications: Regular physical activity, yoga, and pranayama (breathing exercises) are recommended to improve digestion and promote bowel regularity.

Oil massages: Abhyanga, or self-massage with warm sesame oil or castor oil, is beneficial in calming the Vata dosha and enhancing bowel movements.

Natural laxatives: Ayurvedic practitioners may recommend natural laxatives like soaked raisins or figs, ghee (clarified butter), or warm milk to ease constipation.

Addressing emotional factors: Stress management techniques like meditation and relaxation exercises can play a role in reducing constipation caused by emotional disturbances.

Patreon Post: Romancing a Tremere (Lucrece- VtM oc)

content warning: Female Reader, Femdom, Secret Sex

The masquerade was dazzling. Your sire had brought you to one of the Parisian Kindred soiree, saying it would teach you in depth about the culture of the French Camarilla. It was dazzling, bewitching, the same sort of opalescent splendor that glimmered on the back of a snake as it slithered in the bright sun.

But who was the most hypnotizing serpent in the foliage? Slithering and stilling and waiting for their time to strike if you made one wrong step into their nest.

Her. Of course it was her.

Surrounded by primogens and the seneschal, members of her house looked like bright gems among the others, the same way real gems glimmered in their own way compared to cheap glass cuts trying their best. Lucrece van de Vijver was a diamond in the crown of the Parisian Camarilla. Everyone could tell it was the house leader of De Fay, of course. Even with her pretty, bejeweled mask, which looked like butterfly wings against her face, with only her kohl lined eyes and dark lip sticked mouth uncovered. Her dress was a deep, bloodied red, and it made her rich blue eyes stand out like sapphires. To excuse the phrase, she didn’t look human, but she looked too perfect to be a kindred either. She was marble that moved. One of the roman statues that deigned to slip from her pedestal and grace the world with her presence. You were barely in the gaggle that surrounded her, but you were already being drawn in. She was magnetic.

As the seneschal took their leave, leaving her gloved hand with a lingering kiss, you plucked up your courage.

“M-Madame Van De Vijver?” You tried not to sound as if you were a mouse just stepped on, but you failed, given the twitch of her childe’s mouth, the rest of his face hidden behind a feathered black mask. “I… I just wanted to say that I greatly enjoyed your notes on ritual casting, and the difference in how the magic manifests when taught to different clans.”

You were struggling not to gush but the adoration was clear. She turned her head to look at you properly, her deep syrupy brown hair wafting the alluring scent of some sort of expensive floral perfume gently coating your senses. You felt awash in the sweet scent, just able to catch the scent of almond and castor oil from her perfect hair. Then those eyes… Those eyes were on you. Only you. And her deep plum lips parted, pristine white teeth peeking out.

“What a darling.”

Her satin-gloved hand reached up and her thumb brushed over your chin. You could feel her nail underneath the material skim the line of your bottom lip. Her fangs glinted sharply in the soft light, and you just about got a peek at her soft pink tongue behind those pearly whites. Her gaze held yours, and… And it felt like a secret was being passed between the two of you… No wonder she was so powerful. Even as it made your stomach tighten, she must have this connection with everyone she laid eyes on. But right now she was talking to you, smiling at you, telling you…

You couldn’t recall now. It didn’t matter. The buzzed blood on your tongue was nothing compared to her own in your mouth, the sound of her lithe hands pulling your dress up drowning out everything else, the music, the chatter. Nothing else mattered like this.

Nothing else was important anyway. It was just you and her and this secret. Her chest against yours, her fingers tracing over your cunt, playfully curving her fingertip under the garters holding up your stockings and snapping them against your thighs.

“You should be careful with those eyes, chéri.” She whispered against your lips, staining yours with her lipstick. You hoped it sunk into your skin, stained you for the world to see.

You wanted to touch her. But you couldn’t. It… It felt wrong.

You would never dream of dragging your unprotected hands over a masterpiece, so you pressed your wrists to the wall, as if pinned by some invisible force as her gloved fingers dragged hungrily over your body. Her fingers dipped easily into your underwear, running a finger slowly over your cunt, teasingly flicking over your clit before tracing over your pool, aching hole. The slick noises sounded so loud, despite the thick layers of your dress. You could feel her gloves getting soaked in your slick, slender fingers pressing into you as her thumb slowly pressed against your clit. Your legs felt weak, and you could just spread your legs more.

“Please, madame.” You whispered, unsure of what you were begging for, but just knowing you needed it.

Lucrece cooed at your begging, sinking another finger into you, as her lips altered targets, to begin kissing along your neck, her sharp fangs nicking the skin easily. You whined and bucked weakly, feeling her rings underneath the gloves, adding to the sensation.

You began to open your mouth, to beg for more, to ask for more, to plead for Lucrece to ruin you, take you away and ruin you, but the words caught in your throat as footsteps slowly approached. Lucrece even paused, tilting her head before smiling.

“Zacarie.”

The footsteps pause, just around the corner. As if he knew what was happening. The thought made you want to choke on your lack of air.

“Lucrece. The Prince is asking for you and Sylvain is about to be snapped up by some Ministry people unless you step in.” His low, husky voice sounded scratchy to your ears, after the soothing lilt of Lucrece’s voice.

She sighed and Zacarie took that as his cue to leave.

“I apologize, sweet thing.” She slowly steps back, tasting her ruined gloved fingers before smiling and slipping both of her gloves off, revealing soft, long fingers with painted dark red fingernails.

She tucks the fingers of her glove into your parted mouth, making you taste yourself as her eyes greedily sank in the sight.

“I shall find you again later.”

She smiled and gave your forehead a chaste kiss before walking around the corner, looking as if she was gliding. You whined into the emptiness of the hallway before taking her gloves from your mouth and wistfully running the fabric over your cheek.

[what-if-nct]

do you know how to make afro hair longer mine just gets smaller and dry 🥲 (i want to get dreads)

Okay so my hair is both permed and dyed so that does effect my hair growth but I have found the times my hair does grow quite fast and long is when I minimize heat and the manipulation of my hair. It's permed so it does dry straight so i don't have to do much too it and I can just put in hair clips or a headband and call it a do. My best friend also does low manipulation and she cut her hair around January and it is soooooo long right now and she just conditions, deep conditions and does oil treatments and uses leave in conditioner I really like John Freida but she uses Chi. I only use heat on my hair on wash day once a week, today was my wash day also used it as a spa day, I used three different lotions for some reason but im super soft and smell like candy. I also only use conditioner I find shampoo thins the hell out of my hair, I also prefer Japanese hair products cause a lot of black hair products have way too much protein in it for me and makes my hair so dry and brittle. Also Japanese hair products have camellia oil which is my favorite hair oil, I actually hate coconut oil with a passion, one it blocks your follicles and if you're sensitive to protein like me, it makes my hair so dry. Also heard Jamaican black castor oil is good for growth. Also maybe try twists or faux dreads first to see how you'll like it.

Top 10 Leave-In Conditioners for Curly Hair: Which One Suits Your Curls?

Curly hair can be a blessing, but it often requires extra care and attention to keep those curls defined, hydrated, and frizz-free. One product that every curly-haired individual should have in their haircare routine is a leave-in conditioner. It not only moisturizes and detangles your curls but also provides protection from heat, pollution, and other environmental stressors. In this blog, we’ll explore the top 10 leave-in conditioners for curly hair, helping you decide which one suits your curls best. Whether you're seeking moisture, frizz control, or curl definition, we’ve got you covered!

What is a Leave-In Conditioner?

A leave-in conditioner for curly hair is a lightweight hair care product that you apply after washing and conditioning your hair. Unlike a regular conditioner, it is designed to stay in your hair rather than being rinsed out. Its purpose is to add extra moisture, detangle, and provide protection, all while enhancing your curls’ natural shape. Leave-in conditioners are perfect for curly hair because they keep your curls hydrated and frizz-free throughout the day.

Why You Need a Leave-In Conditioner for Curly Hair:

Curly hair tends to be drier than other hair types due to its structure, which makes it harder for natural oils to travel from the scalp to the ends. This is where a leave-in conditioner for curly hair becomes essential. Here’s why:

Hydration: Curly hair needs more moisture to keep the curls defined and prevent them from becoming frizzy.

Frizz Control: A leave-in conditioner locks in moisture and helps control frizz, keeping your curls smooth and sleek.

Detangling: Curly hair often gets tangled easily. A good leave-in conditioner will make detangling easier, minimizing breakage.

Curl Definition: The right leave-in conditioner can enhance the natural shape of your curls, providing more bounce and definition.

What Is a 13x4 Lace Wig?

A 13x4 lace wig is a popular choice among wig enthusiasts for its versatility and natural look. The 13x4 lace frontal refers to the measurement of the lace area on the wig, which extends 13 inches from ear to ear and 4 inches back, allowing for various parting options and styles. These wigs, like all wigs from UHAIR, are made from 100% human hair, offering a natural appearance and comfortable wear. They are also designed to provide free shipping to customers, ensuring accessibility.

Why Choose a 13x4 Lace Wig? The lace frontal construction allows for a seamless blend with your natural hairline, making it appear as though the hair is growing directly from your scalp. This flexibility makes it easy to part the hair in multiple directions, whether you prefer a middle part, side part, or even a zigzag part. Additionally, the 13x4 lace wig is perfect for achieving different styles, from sleek and straight to voluminous curls, depending on your hair type.

Customizing a 13x4 Lace Wig Customizing a lace wig involves several steps to ensure it looks as natural as possible. Many wig wearers like to bleach the knots to remove any visible black dots on the lace. This step is crucial for those with lighter hair colors, such as dirty blonde hair or even red-haired shanks, as it helps the lace blend better with the scalp.

Plucking the hairline is another key step in achieving a more natural look. This involves using a tweezer to thin out the hairline and create baby hairs, which mimic the natural growth pattern of real hair. Whether you’re going for a trendy butterfly haircut or a classic shag haircut, these customizations can make a huge difference in the final result.

Styling and Maintaining Your Wig A 13x4 lace wig allows you to experiment with various styles. If you’re aiming for a sophisticated look, the wig can be styled with wedding-down hairstyles for long hair or soft waves using a curling iron. For a more casual, everyday style, a surfer hair or curly hair fade look is easily achievable. It's essential to keep in mind that proper hair care products, such as castor oil, can help maintain the health and longevity of your wig.

Hair Types and Trends The 13x4 lace wig can accommodate different hair types, whether you have 2a hair, coarse hair, or even 1b hair. This adaptability makes it ideal for anyone looking to try out new trends or experiment with various hair length chart guidelines. Celebrities like Beyoncé, who flaunt their real hair confidently, or Kate Middleton’s new hair, often inspire wig styles. If you’re going for something bold and unique, consider replicating Paris Hilton’s black hair or the popular skunk hair trend.

For those with curly or wavy hair types, understanding your hair’s texture is vital for maintaining your wig. Whether you have 2c hair, frizzy wavy hair, or medium-length curly hair, knowing how to care for your natural hair can help you achieve the best results with your wig.

Conclusion A 13x4 lace wig offers unmatched versatility, whether you're aiming for crazy hair day looks or sophisticated styles. With endless possibilities for parting and customization, it suits various hair types and textures. UHAIR’s 100% human hair wigs ensure high quality and a natural appearance, giving you the freedom to explore your style confidently. Remember to experiment with different styles and techniques, and don’t forget that UHAIR offers free shipping to make your wig-buying experience even better!
