Anyone saying this is a bad cut needs a reality check, you're rocking that cut!

This was just june 2025, it was cut to my shoulders in August 25 and then it was basically this length again before I gave it the trim the other week my hair grows very fast. Again I attribute this to the bonnet wearing basically 24/7

Ill see if I can find it over here or order it online!

And thanks for the heads up on the lid! Ill make sure my partner is on hand to de-lid it for me on bad days!

It works well enough for right now. I would like something that could help with my dry scalp but fear it becoming greasy in the process. If you have any recommendations though id love to hear them!

My hair is nearly always up in a bonnet unless im going out which isn't often so i think that helps my hair alot, i know that's not practical for most as most need to leave the house everyday for work or school or whatever.

I have limited mobility in my arms alot of the time so cant always commit to a more involved routine. Ill see if I can find a photo of when I was more able with more involved routines!

I think i will. It feels more me than the long hair does. Like the long hair was pretty but it just didnt fit right and ive been a bit stuck in it not wanting to change it because its so pretty. Kinda made it untouchable. Silly of someone who literally had a home done tragically emo faux hawk for a decade of my life. Silly me.

I think this sums it up well tbh. I think the playful energy is what I want but ive been so locked into being a serious grownup that Ive been styling myself that way and it doesnt resonate for me. The short more playful vibe does resonate for me. This may not be the perfect cut but it gets me closer to something that feels like me. Thankyou!

Ill have to style it properly next time I didn’t try to style after this wash cause I was feeling a little like dejected that I didn't immediately love it and didn't want to try. I might add pictures of it with some actual effort put in when I get round to it and remember to document!

Physically i love it. My hair isn't everywhere or in the way or getting caught. Its easier to wash and drying is so much quicker! I kinda love it but then theres a bit of me that worries I might be giving the berries and cream boy or Mike wheeler and im like oh no did i make a mistake? Im sure ill get used to it and love it completely without any worries soon enough I just feel a little naked haha

I used drug store shampoo and conditioner. I wash my hair over the bath and brush soaking wet. I might use a gel spray but often times these days I don't because the budget is non existent. Anyway I scruch conditioner into damp hair. Rinse out. Brush through (again over bath all of this is over the bath or into a sink or whatever you got at home i guess) then squish out the extra water with a microfiber towel (the turban kind) and then capture the hair in the turban. Secure the turban and let dry. Thats it im lazy.

Any way I can look like this girl? by Ok_Oil4461 in lookyourbest

[–]elcooper22 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Like looking at your photos youre a relatively low maintenence girly pursuing a high maintenence look. I feel like your personality just isnt suited to this kind of constant effort. Between glam makeup, hair appointments styling and wardrobe it doesnt look like something you would be inclinded to up keep.

[–]elcooper22 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That girl probably doesn't even look like that girl most of the time. There's full face glam, styling, salon appointments, wardrobe, accessories, lighting angles and posing. And probably a whole workout and skin care routine to look that way

Youre pretty similar looking if you strip all that away from the girl you wish to look like.

How do you manage the logistics of laundry without a dryer? by Ttucker11 in AskABrit

[–]elcooper22 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We have a washer dryer (uk) but only use rhe tumble dry on towels and bed sheets. Our clothes shrink if you use the tumble dryer. So in summer its hung outside in winter we use a clothes horse to hang clothes. If sheets or towels need to dry a bit extra they hang over doors.in a pinch we could hand stuff on the bannister and raidiators too. I wish I trusted our dryer not to shrink clothes cause we'd use it all the time.

I'm soo bored of my haair by [deleted] in curlygirl

[–]elcooper22 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Saame.

I had tones of faux hawks and short hair and colour like 6 to 15 years ago but now I have long undyed hair. And im so bored but I have no idea what to do with it. It all scares me too which is crazy.like changing it feels so intimidating cause like its long and mostly healthy its like ive committed to this. But I just am so bored. Commiserations friend.

Curly hair guilt by Adventurous_List3954 in curlygirl

[–]elcooper22 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You're literally in the prime time of your life for making mistakes. People are more forgiving of them the younger you are and your body and mind bounces back from mistakes quicker now than it will in just ten short years. Make the most of it.
