❗️CW: gun violence statistics⠀
Tomorrow President Trump will be holding a rally at the Target Center supporting his re-election campaign. We want to let our clients know we in no way support the Trump administration's policies, procedures, or re-election. President Trump uses his platform to incite hate and harm those who are the most vulnerable and live at the margins of society. It is our goal to protect and uplift all identities, learning as we go along.⁠ Swipe and share some facts about why his ideologies have no place in our salon. ⠀

📢 Take action with the Minnesota Immigrant Rights Action Committee. MIRAC is hosting a rally tomorrow, October 10th at 5:30pm outside the Target Center to gather in solidarity and proclaim that Trump's white supremacy is not welcome in Minneapolis. ⁠⠀

Practicing self-care and self preservation work is so important within activist circles as it prevents burn out. Some ways to avoid harming your mental health could include:⁠⠀
💫 ⁠Unplugging from social media if the content is overwhelming.⁠⠀
💫 Saying no if you've overexerted yourself with rallies/seminars/talks lately. ⁠⠀
💫 Attending therapy and reaching out to friends and family for support.⁠⠀
•⁣⁠⠀
Can't make the rally but still want to help? If you're able to, please consider making a donation to these or other nonprofits;⠀
Donate to OutFront Minnesota at https://www.outfront.org/⁠⠀
Donate to the ACLU at https://www.aclu.org/⁠

All of the lights inside The Hive Salon are LED lights, which are up to 80% more efficient than traditional lighting like fluorescent or incandescent lights. LED lights also contain no toxic elements like mercury. This means we use less lights overall and are not contributing to the contamination of the environment through landfills! 😎 ⁠

After two years of growing it out, this curly cutie had her hair trimmed by salon owner @jendoesyourhair! After adding some layers and dusting off dry ends, Jen styled Kaitlyn's curls with the Quiet Calm Curl Control and the I Create Hold from @innersenseorganicbeauty.⁠ 😇⁠
•⁣⁠
Our expert stylists apply products to curly hair when it is very, very wet to ensure the strands are well lubricated to avoid frizz. For the most moisturized curls we recommend lightly scrunching your hair with a flour sack or non-microfiber towel before applying your products. After they are applied, you may want to add more water to help disperse the product further. ⁠
•⁣⁠
Another way to ensure curl formation after scrunching in products is to avoid touching your hair as much as possible while it is drying. As always our styling products are made without silicones so you never have to worry about dry crunchy, flaky curls. 🌿⁠
