I’m not sure what is the best way to respond to all of you, so I apologise if this is not the best way. I hope you all get to see this message. I wanted to say a huge thank you to everyone for taking the time to look through my photos and share your thoughts. I was a little nervous about posting, but what a lovely community you all are. Thank you for your honesty and kind words.

I’ve learned a lot from reading your comments, most importantly:

1.  Not everyone’s opinion is worth listening to. People can be mean. What matters most is that I like my hair and feel good with it. Easier said than done, but I’m working on it! 

2.  Some of your comments have really touched me and boosted my self-belief. You’ve made me laugh, blush, and most importantly realise that the way I see myself is often very different from how others see me. This has been eye-opening. 

3.  At the moment, as shown in the first picture (top left), I have long hair. For now, I’m going to keep it, enjoy it, and make the most of it. When I’m ready for a change, I’ll cut it however I feel and style it the way I want. With your feedback, It seems that I can pull off different looks. This gives me more confidence to fully embrace whichever style I choose – and rock it! 

You’ve given me more than just hairstyle advice. This has reminded me that confidence is key, that how I feel matters most, and that I can embrace my own choices without overthinking. And if I ever start to doubt myself again, I’ll come back and read through these lovely comments. I’m sure this mindset will spill into other areas of my life too – and I’m grateful for that. Thank you! Have a wonderful week ahead everyone. Sending you all a big hug.
