#beauty supply hair

[everlastingrandom]

I am testing something based on a conversation I had with a coworker: Have you ever been in a Beauty Supply store. NOT Sephora or an indie makeup boutique. Not the cosmetic section of a wholesale store. I mean a generic named, located in the hood, beauty supply store.

Please reblog for a larger sample size 🙏

Question to my black gamers/writers, what hairstyle do you envision your self-insert or your MC wearing when going on these long-ass journeys and quests with their hair? What protective styles are y’all using? What type? Locs? Braids? Crochet? Cornrows? Mini-twists?? How do you story-wise work in the maintenance? Are they wearing a scarf/headwrap? How’s they get said headscarf? Do they wear their world’s equivalent to a bonnet? How are doing their wash-days; where do they do it? What products are they using and where do I get them?

It’s A Wrap

This is my ode to Black Women and our culture. The beauty supply store is where our creativity thrives the most. I wanted to capture that while also emphasizing a popular style that transcends generations: the Doobie Wrap

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

Y/N POV:

Me and my boyfriend and I're in his car.(We're gonna be 18 here for story purposes). We were bored, so we decided to take a ride around the beautiful lighted city of Brooklyn.

I was bored until a beauty supply store caught my eye. "Hey miles?" I turned to him tapping his shoulder. "Hm?" He said,he sounded a bit sleepy. Looking at my with one hand on the wheel.

"Can we go inside the beauty supply real quick, please??" Me dragging the 'e'. "Sure baby" This man's smile gets me weak everytime. I smiled as I got out the car,him doing the same. I grabbed his hand and we walked inside.

A black girls heaven.

I looked at all the shelves in awe, Miles just looked bored and decided to wait by the register. "Cmon miles don't be like that! Let's go." I grabbed his hand and we walked to the cosmetics aisle first. I picked a black lip liner,a cream brown lipstick and a clear lip gloss.

"You think this'll look good on me?" I say facing miles. "Anything looks good on you...baby.." he says as he wraps his arms around my waist and putting his head on shoulder.

Miles POV:

I wrapped my arms around her waist and put my head on Y/N's shoulder. I grabbed a jar of "Eco gel." "Hey, didn't you say you needed more of this?" I asked her,catching her attention. "Aw! Yeah thank you miles" she gave me a kiss heh.

A few minutes later.

No one's POV:

Y/N and Miles finished shopping and get back into Miles car. Driving away in the dusk of Brooklyn City.

I like to think that Aphrodite’s kids are the ones who braided annabeth’s hair since it’s been stated she rarely goes out.

What a Time to be Alive:

Nostalgia is selling!

Remember her?

Well, this is her now.

This is the story of a $7 beauty supply store Chinese slipper, that turned into a $375 USD mule. We are in a very interesting period of time. We’ve always known that sex sells, but lately a lot of businesses have been turning a good profit and audience just with the use of nostalgia.

It may be because I was too young to be aware, but I don’t remember a period in time where nostalgia was so lucrative (please feel free to correct me if I’m wrong). I’m not sure of the person behind this shoe (weather they’re black or non black, culture vulture, man, women, or other), but I do know that it’s crazy that a kitten heel and leather suddenly makes a slipper worth nearly $400. A slipper that was popular amongst Black Women. So what makes this unoriginal slipper turned kitten heel worth $375? Well if you ask me, besides capitalism not much.

The shoe is said to be made with 100% authentic leather (honestly for the price that’s the least they could do). I’ll give it to them that the touch of leather with make the shoe more durable, especially the netted portion of the shoe. As stated on their website (endieu.com) each shoe is handmade. Thus making each shoe not exactly the same……… I completely understand the difficulty and time consumption that comes with immersing yourself completely in your craft and doing every detail by hand. With that being said, if you wanted to charge $400 for a kitten heel why not just come out with something original? A kitten heel (and leather) was slapped onto the design of a well known (in the black community at least) $7 slipper and is being sold for $375…….. Presale was definitely the right way to go because relying solely on nostalgia to turn a profit for this would’ve probably been too much dip on their chip. It’s a very cute shoe nonetheless! Will I be paying $375 for it? Absolutely, not! The shoe can be purchased here:

was debating on whether i’d include it or not, but i definitely am. it’s a big factor in their story so race & culture is absolutely getting included in lykaia. boohoo if you don’t like it.

i could absolutely imagine lou & imogen cooking together. and lou plainly asking imogen why they use so many different seasonings when they cook. her short answer would be because she’s black and culturally that’s what we do, but i don’t think lou would settle for the short answer. and the long answer would have to lead into an entire history lesson on slavery and seasonings, then into african cultural practices. promptly ending with her shoving him out of the kitchen and to the library in their living room. imogen’s got a book about everything. lou’s always happy to learn, though he had hoped she’d pick up a book with more pictures and less text versus the absolute brick of book she’s plopped in his hands.

or whenever imogen helps lou comb his hair. dallas used to comb it when they were kids. whenever he’d come by over the summer it’d be matted. (shout out to melissa for being a horrible parent.) imogen has now taken over the task. he is 100% the “i brush out my curls because i don’t know what to do with my hair” type. even though all he need pretty much is a wide tooth comb and a spray bottle of water. it ends with imogen putting dutch braids in his hair and him questioning if they’re okay braids for him to wear. she reassures him this particular style is fine. though she can’t really say, he’ll have to ask the dutch how they feel about it and he gets this glimmer of panic in his eyes. she thinks it’s hilarious.

he’s grown up with imogen and her family. so he’s long been a guest in their culture. but still makes an effort to not cross a boundary. as for himself, he doesn’t really know. i wanna get into that too. but even as it stands rn, idk what he is either lmao. the running thing rn is that lou is a mutt. (because.. he’s a lycan. dog joke.) only person that would know is melissa. and well, y’all know how that’s going.
