Yeah so have I.. for the past year or so I've been letting mine grow out but it's harder to maintain than a low-cut so I recently just went back to my low haircut.. the highest I'll let it get is a mini fro..

Alright, I feel like it's time to buy a new sponge since I've had my current one for a lttle bit and it's starting to fall apart.
I have some random one that was like 7 dollars on Amazon. Is paying a little more for the Nudred better? What should I be looking for when choosing one?
Also, anyone know any good barbers in College Station/Bryan, TX area? I'll be at A&M for school this fall.

If you're mainly only worried about the sponge falling apart, then Nudred is definitely a good choice. I had 2 of them (mini blue one with small holes and a big red one with slightly bigger holes) for months before I cut my hair down and they barely ever shedded/ fell apart. They also have more of a solid hold on them compared to others.
However for that price I'd rather just stick to cheaper ones that work the same. Honestly the biggest problem on my end was the holes getting kinda deformed/ torn, but that's to be expected when you don't take good care and just put them anywhere
moisture is key too of course.I got this one on eBay last year and it was just as good as the Nudreds imo

For those of y'all that shave, what do you do to not get ingrown hairs/razor bumps?
I shaved with the grain with a straight razor and I still got some bumps on my cheek and neck

I used to have the same problem. I was trying to figure out how was I shaving wrong. Turns out when I would clean my chin area with alcohol for a week I wouldn't get them

I don't know what to call it. It's in the form of a straight razor but it uses a small blade. I guess it's like a practice straight razor .

What's your hair porosity and the kind of moisturizers you use? Got a comb and a hand mirror?

Get some Maximum Strength Bump Patrol from Walmart. Also get a face scrub to clean before shaving.

You could try a water based moisturizer and then lock it in with the coconut oil, maybe even switch out coconut with argan or almond
For now I've been testing using hair lotions (pantene gold edition) and softee conditioners (bergamot atm) twice a day since they're good for being thin and still keep good contact. Hasn't been long with this routine though so I'll update later

Been getting thin hairs toward the front. Not sure if they've always been there or if I'm noticing it because I'm developing waves and wolfing it all the time at the moment. Any tips to keep hair from getting shorter. My dad said no more hats for starters. I do plan to keep waves through the spring and then growing my hair back out to the afro taper fade. Just wanted to try waves forreal this time. I'm so far along. Advice?
