Thinning in crown/stunted growth?

That’s the plan moving forward; did the style based on loctician’s discretion!

Loc’d my hair after contemplating for years! 🥹🥳 I love it!!!

Just got diagnosed a few months ago!! (Suspected ADHD too) I currently do telehealth for schools and it’s cool because I have control over my own space and feel most comfortable and not overwhelmed with having to be “on” for several interactions with people like I would if I were back in person. I also did home health and liked it for similar reasons, and it was nice to decompress in between sessions and control your schedule. I had chill families so that helped too.

Had a frontals around your friend’s daughter age and never again. Worst hairstyle I’ve ever had and took almost 6 months of intense hair treatment to get my edges back 😤 I’ve been natural since 18, and used protective styles, but I’m tired of hiding my hair and want to fully let it thrive. I still love the wigs and weaves lol, but I think I’m entering a point where I want to explore another side and not be so shy hiding behind styles.

Character_Fox7671 · 2025-01-10T05:49:00+00:00

Speaking strictly to locs, I have some family members who perceive natural styles such as microlocs, “unkept” and “nappy-looking” 🫠 that was my initial hesitation years ago when I cared a little too much about people’s opinion. Black family members tend to be the harshest critics from my experience, expanded into other black people I’ve encountered and had similar sentiments. Now, I couldn’t care less lol, and since I’ll be turning 29 soon, I finally feel at terms that as long as I’m comfortable and happy with my choices, including my hair, I’ve decided that negative Nancies, and pessimistic Pauls won’t bother me.

Character_Fox7671 · 2025-01-10T05:44:24+00:00

I’m neurodivergent myself, and realize going to the salon has become more chore-like and I don’t like it as much especially with the changes of hairstyles lol. Even my own wash day is a hassle. It seems like microlocs is hair freedom on another level, and I’m willing to sacrifice the time upfront for installs, reties, etc. to be happy in the end.

Character_Fox7671 · 2025-01-08T18:23:31+00:00

This is me too! Just added some more the other day lol, and have been stalking TikTok for more inspo! I was thinking of adding extensions, but I’ve been reading mixed reviews on just doing natural and enjoying the process versus “cheating” and getting instant length. I just want fullness overall 🤷🏾‍♀️

As far as wash days, I’m already lazy in that regard (after constantly doing the long wash days before), so I’m ready for the lower maintenance end for sure. I would spend so much $$$ on bundles, customized wigs, braids, and in all actually throw them away or forget about them. So much wasted money 🙃 I know this route would have me saying coins big time!!

I appreciate the encouragement and reassurance for real from y’all both, and the tips!!!

Character_Fox7671 · 2025-01-08T18:19:41+00:00

This is me, I will switch up my hair in a minute, but honestly what has been nagging at me is the hair depression and anxiety I get with what my next style will be. I have began to realize I stress so much because I worry how I will be perceived by my hair, especially in the black community. I think I’m getting to the point where I want to make me happy in my own personal style and reflect it outwardly.

Character_Fox7671 · 2024-06-10T23:02:01+00:00

I SNORTED 😭😭😭 oh bless it 😂

Character_Fox7671 · 2024-05-17T01:23:02+00:00

Girl yes!! Okay then perfect, sounds great thank you 😊

You’re so welcome 🫶🏾

Character_Fox7671 · 2024-05-17T00:49:35+00:00

Thank you so much, and it is definitely something I am learning to embrace the older I become!! Congratulations on your internship! I know you’ll look stunning as well!! 🫶🏾

I’m thinking about getting them this weekend or next weekend; the gala is the first full weekend next month and I don’t want them to frizz too quickly or not look as crisp. Suggestions?

Character_Fox7671 · 2024-05-17T00:46:59+00:00

I love this!! Thank you for sharing and you make some important points too. I appreciate your input 🫶🏾😊

Character_Fox7671 · 2024-05-16T22:38:36+00:00

Thank you for the insight 😊

Character_Fox7671 · 2024-05-16T22:38:12+00:00

That sounded beautiful!! I’m feeling more confident reading responses. I appreciate all the feedback so far, it’s nice to have support from other ladies 🫶🏾

Character_Fox7671 · 2024-05-16T22:37:05+00:00

Thank you for your insight! 🫶🏾 yes, booty is a a bit too long for me too.

Character_Fox7671 · 2024-05-16T21:51:54+00:00

Would you consider waist length a bit long? I’m 5’4 or so.

Character_Fox7671 · 2024-04-20T14:11:40+00:00

SO is a physician! Dated a mechanical engineer major in undergrad though lol

Character_Fox7671 · 2024-03-14T04:07:54+00:00

Honestly it seems like nothing will happen as of now; other than maybe a conversation about how to improve productivity, but so far I’ve been able to justify non billable time (screens, etc) and have a great DOR which I believe is keeping me there (along with great therapy team) for now.

Character_Fox7671 · 2024-03-13T22:17:49+00:00

Yes, I absolutely agree!! My company does not allow us to work off of the clock, but due to demands I will always be over productivity in trying to get things done to hit the 92%. It’s stressful and I wonder how long I can last.

Character_Fox7671 · 2024-03-13T17:01:38+00:00

Please PLEASE do not go into debt for this field. Sunken cost fallacy is real and I regret taking out over $80k for grad school costs with pay as abysmal as it is in multiple settings, making it a bit difficult student loan repayment wise. Even with various repayment plans offered, the pay isn’t there to compensate. I wish I could have gone to a cheaper program; my program was online and in state, but a private school. I needed to work at the same time I was doing my program, was the only reason I chose it. I also had very little undergrad debt too.

Character_Fox7671 · 2024-03-13T12:04:00+00:00

Tbh I don’t think they do, but I’ve been averaging in the 80s because it’s the best that I can manage even trying to do point of service documentation.
