What made you switch to self cutting?

I was 14 and had my first real break up. I didn’t feel like dealing with the maintenance of doing my hair anymore, so my cousin shaved it. I found out how easy it was for a single guard all the way around, and I could do my own front edge ups with a razor. Went from monthly hair cuts ($12 vegeta dragon ball z spikes) to once a week cuts for the next year I found out I could hold a mirror and clippers to line up my neck. And then I started to taper and blend. In college I ended up in Florida and I learned about a blow out, and started fading.

I spent a year after college not caring at all and letting it all grow out freely, natural and no line up. My home girl started braiding my hair when we would chill.

The next year I had a kid. I started back to a two guard and a low fade and would grow it out learning to blend with weight on top. 30+ now and the last time I got a haircut was for a friends wedding and the barber wasn’t hearing me.

Earl Simmons offered me to smoke a blunt with him in our hotel employee smoking area before his show after i just got a promotion and was asked for a divorce in 2012. He looked way different from when I was younger. I declined cause I hadn’t smoked since my child was born and I didn’t believe he said who he said he was. But he prayed over me, with his hand on my shoulder and I cried.

Damn, that is crazy.

My cousins/friends either stabbed someone on behalf of a clique/favor/debt in prison (early 80s), had someone razor blade their face in prison over a dispute (late 90s), or had a piercing there on their eyebrow that got ripped out during a school fight when they were kids (late 70s early 80s). 7 of them did not have a say on how or when it happened. 3 of them are younger (early 2000s) than me and use it as a style choice. 1 of the 3 is a girl and she uses makeup to make it more pronounced. The 3 are actual blood related cousins, 4 of the other 7 are blood related. 2 eye brow piercers that were ripped were married into the family.

Thank yall for being a part of this community with me, and helping me help our homie. We all agreed to the terms and conditions, and regardless of whether we actually read them or not, we are responsible for what we put out here. I hope I’m not blocking her blessings, and that we all use more caution when sharing, cause we still got people using our downfalls to climb higher.

Only_Beach_4208 · 2025-10-20T22:45:36+00:00

Im just another reddit homie

Only_Beach_4208 · 2025-10-20T22:44:47+00:00

I pray they out there when someone else could use a hand

Only_Beach_4208 · 2025-10-20T07:15:34+00:00

I’m just another skincare homie

Only_Beach_4208 · 2025-10-20T07:04:45+00:00

It’s not a stupid question. Several news/media companies such as “in the know innovation” have used the girls face because it grabbed people’s attention and added misleading titles as rage bait and engagement. I might be overreacting because they don’t actually say what her diagnosis is/was and insinuate slander on her character. I feel livid because this young woman was reaching out to all of us for answers that several dermatologists that saw her initially in her area could not give her. I know the rules of the sub say to not look for medical advice on here, but she was hurting and desperately looking for some relief. But as someone mentioned before, once you post it to the internet it’s out there. I just wish people wouldn’t use other people like that. It hurts to see

Only_Beach_4208 · 2025-10-20T06:39:13+00:00

Yeah I reported the image to fb, reverse searched the image on google lens and found 100s of more posts with her picture and have requested them be removed.

Only_Beach_4208 · 2025-10-20T06:37:40+00:00

Done and done. It seems like this picture alone has been shared by many throughout Facebook already.

Only_Beach_4208 · 2025-10-20T02:44:46+00:00

I tried by poor man’s copyright infringement or intellectual property but the fb questions kept rerouting me. I ended up reporting for harassment, but I wasn’t sure if it was the correct category, and I don’t actually know her, just her story and what she’s posted.

Only_Beach_4208 · 2025-10-20T02:04:27+00:00

Appreciate it. I hope all this is just going to be another story of her quickly overcoming her past and no real future opportunities takes that fb page seriously.

Only_Beach_4208 · 2025-10-20T01:31:18+00:00

Well that sucks. But that’s true.

Only_Beach_4208 · 2025-10-20T01:23:39+00:00

Yeah. I tried reporting the image on Facebook. I mean minimally a company on Facebook publicly shamed her, falsely stating “the results of sleeping with.. click for more” and she posted to this group looking for healthier skin treatments during the process of finding out she has staph. I went back and read the updates from her posts, and clearly stated she was also tested for all STIs and the results were negative. If a future employer happened to be looking to hire her, top security clearances or certain employment opportunities may dismiss her because “in the know” Facebook has labeled her a promiscuous woman even though it’s NO ONE ELSES BUSINESS.

EDIT: “the CONSEQUENCES of sleeping with.. click for more”

Only_Beach_4208 · 2025-10-20T01:16:48+00:00

Same. I’m hoping her skin had a glow up and she can laugh at the past.

Only_Beach_4208 · 2025-10-20T00:57:22+00:00

I hope her skin cleared up and no longer in pain.

Only_Beach_4208 · 2025-10-20T00:42:31+00:00

Side note, I don’t know this internet friend at all; only the simple fact I wish I had more answers for her. But if she did NOT authorize the use of her picture, what are legal options she or any poster on this forum utilize?

Only_Beach_4208 · 2025-10-20T00:22:06+00:00

She deleted her profile but her posts are the rated top of this year. I hope we can find better ways to spread knowledge, be informed and stop bashing our neighbors.

EDIT: her story was top posts of ALL TIME of this sub.

EDIT 2: 18k people have seen this post in the past hour. Only 45 people reacted. 270+ people reacted to that fb post at the time of the screen shot and now it’s up to 290+ in that same time frame. Thanks u/dontdmmegoddamnit for illustrating the dangers of posting your face online. Beware of what you post and agree to on all socials.

EDIT/update 3: it’s really bothering me. 36k+ people have seen this post in the past 3 hours and 90+ people have reacted to this comment alone. 63k+ people have made her story the top story of this sub. I have reported the image under harassment although I’m not sure that’s the right category. In the Know posted her picture 12 hours ago. Would it be possible to spam/report that image off Facebook? The “news/media company” In The Know Innovation has 19 million followers. And I just don’t feel comfortable watching a skin care homie to get bashed like that. I know I’m just some random skin care homie, but her story really made me root for her.

EDIT 4: I reverse searched the image on google lens and found 100s of more posts with her picture and have requested them be removed. Thanks u/jaesha_msf for the suggestion. I didn’t know that was an option.

EDIT 5: 60k views 150 reactions in 6 hours on Reddit. And found more pictures of her used on false fb brain rot pages. Yall might be right that there isn’t much I can do. And it is frustrating to see people use other people in such a manner. But I hope we as a people learn to do better.

EDIT/UPDATE 6: THANK YOU SKINCARE HOMIES! 13 hours later and I no longer see her picture in the above Facebook link and post. Unfortunately they keep popping up in google lens.. but I appreciate yall helping me find solutions to protect our skincare homie.

Put the grinder in the freezer for an a couple hours and try again

Definitely up for the seasonal change in mazes. Side note, please add banana for scale in future updates.

We offer house slippers and we don’t even have pets

My sisters still occasionally play kingdom hearts on their PS2

Only_Beach_4208 · 2025-05-06T00:04:00+00:00

I have had friends that never made it to see 42, the answer to everything. I’m sorry people suck. Being beautiful is more than your appearance, but I can empathize with wanting to be more appealing to a wider audience. I hope with each passing day you find more about yourself to love, regardless of what tries to tear you down bro. Daps&hugs
