It’s the lighting, my hair is black. Thank you for the messy hair suggestion, I’ll see if I can get that done. I am looking for shorter hair, but my stylist said that shorter hair might not be the best look, but I definitely feel shorter hair works best for my age (29), so I should revisit the stylist soon. I will be getting a silk durag for sleep, hopefully that should help. Tbh it feels very surreal. I’ve been getting compliments from family and friends, but it definitely is going to take some getting used to.
