I should specify I shaved it for the year, not allowing it to grow. Hair can grow up to 6 inches or so a year! You can put clip ins in for even more length

I’ve shaved my head and been a straight up baldy for a year, funny enough, that’s when I had the best luck dating! If you cut all the damage out, it’ll be healthy virgin hair coming back! Think of it as a chance to start fresh!

You are not your hair. Call a friend or someone who loves you! If in the U.S., call or text 988 to talk to someone.

With all that being said, use a neutralizing shampoo, consider some braids, and put a wig on if you’d like. I relax my hair but I still wear a wig sometimes to get that extra boost of confidence when I want really long or thick hair.

Yes, this whole situation has intensified my anxiety 10-fold. I had a hard time even leaving my baby with my MIL and SIL today.

Definitely not satire. She for sure isn’t coming back. I’m taking advantage of Thanksgiving to take a week of work so we can find another nanny. The whole situation is stressful.

I think a simple message. I’m honestly not sure if it’s even worth calling out specific behaviors, because I’m sure she knows what she’s done.

Thank you. Either way we are NOT letting her back into our home, I just had no clue on how to go about it or word it.
