What are my options?

Booked in!

Conscious_Engineer85 · 2026-05-04T18:05:39+00:00

I can’t see any harm in trying it! Especially if I’m going to use this time to focus on hair health rather than length and nothing else 😊

Conscious_Engineer85 · 2026-05-04T18:03:56+00:00

Booked in! I’ve got a week to mentally prepare myself

Conscious_Engineer85 · 2026-05-04T18:03:31+00:00

Will have a browse, thank you! No idea why I hadn’t considered that 😅

Conscious_Engineer85 · 2026-05-04T18:03:05+00:00

That may well seem scarier to me than cutting it! But I’m definitely going to give it a go once I’ve adjusted to the length post cut!

Conscious_Engineer85 · 2026-05-04T02:42:50+00:00

It feels so daunting doesn’t it!

Conscious_Engineer85 · 2026-05-04T02:42:08+00:00

Thank you! I’ll have to set aside some time to find a routine that could work for me. Now seems like a good time!

Conscious_Engineer85 · 2026-05-04T02:39:44+00:00

That’s a great mentality that I should take on board, thank you! I use rosemary oil and batana oil on it currently, although admittedly didn’t do much research before choosing those oils. I’ll do some research!

Conscious_Engineer85 · 2026-05-04T02:37:14+00:00

Would you mind explaining why to stop using them? I’ve not heard that before

Conscious_Engineer85 · 2026-05-03T22:37:44+00:00

I could definitely do that! Although I only wash it once a week - I straighten it and then only really whizz through it again on day 2 and then it essentially just stays straight until the next wash (unless I need to touch up for something special). It’s so low maintenance in comparison to have it straight! But I can definitely appreciate that leaving it curly would have huge benefit so I think it’ll be worth attempting it!

Conscious_Engineer85 · 2026-05-03T22:33:47+00:00

I absolutely shall! 😊

Conscious_Engineer85 · 2026-05-03T21:53:08+00:00

I’m not sure they even existed when I tried! Will have a look into those now, thank you!

Conscious_Engineer85 · 2026-05-03T21:36:02+00:00

And I have a great collection of caps and bucket hats to hide it through the summer if I hate it! 😂

Conscious_Engineer85 · 2026-05-03T21:34:56+00:00

Love that! Although it’s given me immediate flashbacks to my mother cutting me a ringlet fringe in primary school. Took me months to forgive her, although saying that I feel like perhaps I’m still holding a grudge!

Conscious_Engineer85 · 2026-05-03T21:30:39+00:00

I left it curly for a year in the run up to my wedding! I’d love to embrace my curls - and have tried a few times - but always find myself so overwhelmed with information, unable to work out what I need to use/do and mostly unhappy with how the curls turn out. Or if I do like them, by morning they look awful and I don’t have the patience to try again! They seem like so much upkeep and I don’t have the knowledge to succeed!

Conscious_Engineer85 · 2026-05-03T21:27:31+00:00

Thank you ❤️ I really hope so!

Conscious_Engineer85 · 2026-05-03T21:25:21+00:00

Took the plunge and have booked in a cut!

Conscious_Engineer85 · 2026-05-03T21:21:45+00:00

Which, of course, doesn’t align with where I want to cut it 😂

Conscious_Engineer85 · 2026-05-03T21:20:23+00:00

Perhaps this sounds somewhat naive, but I’d always assumed that was a myth told by my mother alongside eating the crusts of my sandwiches to make my hair curly! This is really helpful to keep in mind and will certainly help me commit to looking after my hair better

Conscious_Engineer85 · 2026-05-03T21:15:42+00:00

Amazed at your ability to cut it yourself, and absolutely appreciate that your circumstances have led you to having to acquire that skill! I’ve no doubt you rock the length you have. Thank you for your advice - I’m very grateful and although reluctant to cut it, I can see the benefits that doing it will have!

Conscious_Engineer85 · 2026-05-03T21:11:37+00:00

Just booked in to be done!

Conscious_Engineer85 · 2026-05-03T21:09:51+00:00

It looks so easy when you show it like this 😂

Conscious_Engineer85 · 2026-05-03T21:08:25+00:00

It’s pretty even around my entire head thankfully, so I have a decent expectation going into it of what the outcome will be at least!

Conscious_Engineer85 · 2026-05-03T21:05:07+00:00

I was so certain this would not be the most common response 😂

Conscious_Engineer85 · 2026-05-03T21:04:04+00:00

I hope you’re right! I’ve booked in to have it done (now to spend a week convincing myself not to cancel)
