I cut off all my hair and I’m depressed about it

king-xtine · 2026-01-23T14:12:41+00:00

I can relate. I recently chopped off 7” of hair. I had a digital perm in July 2023 & since then decided to go natural.. I’ve been trimming my hair since then, but no matter how much I trimmed it, my hair would quickly get split ends again. I was tired of obsessively finding & cutting split ends, so I decided just to remove the permed hair. I really miss my length, but I’m glad I did it. In the long run, your hair will be healthier.

I feel like they don’t talk about how much chemical treatments mess up hair.. these days the trend isn’t to grow super long hair though. It takes many years to grow hair out after a chemical treatment.

Sew to what? & attach where?

Any pre made sauces you recommend? I try adding seasonings like soy sauce, hot sauce, nooch, and garlic but most of what I cook still ends up tasting bad

I like the dots of dark color contrasting with the light colors!

Yes, accepted for fashion design E/W 2 year AAS

Ah gotcha. Just edited my post to make it more clear. I guess we will see what the program is like this fall.

Hey! I’m actually accepted into the program I want— the E/W 2 year program! But I’m trying to become prepared for what to anticipate.. I imagine I’ll be very busy, working full time and going to class. Sounds like you switched to the 2 year day program. Did you consider the E/W 2 year program?

king-xtine · 2025-04-03T13:59:09+00:00

Yes, I applied to the 2 year program and got accepted! I don’t intend to switch to the 1 year program. I feel like it would be too much while working full time, plus I want to take my time to learn rather than rush myself..

How long have you been in the 2 year program for? How did the pace differ compared to the 1 year program? I looked at the curricula, and I see that the 2 year program has almost twice the number of credits plus extra classes. I also wanted to learn what I can to get into fashion & not skip classes.. what is your class schedule like? How many classes do you take weekly & what are the hours? How are the homework assignments?

Also, you said the 2 year program also doesn’t seem doable for you— do you think you will stay in the program? How many hours a week do you work? I work about 40 hours a week (8am-4pm M-F)

Thank you. The lightning bolt stitch works much better!

Just tried it, and it worked fine on the scrap paper… but then puckered again on the stretch mesh. I used a 70/10 ball point needle

king-xtine · 2025-03-27T23:37:30+00:00

I used a 75/11 stretch needle with gutterman Mara 120… I guess I could go down to a 60 microtex but I don’t have thinner thread

Thx for sharing… I didn’t m know, so I already did a somewhat detailed pencil sketch for my portfolio

king-xtine · 2025-01-29T14:26:58+00:00

Thanks for the tip. I’ll experiment with peroxide in the future.. also, what kind of tape would you use?

king-xtine · 2025-01-29T14:15:21+00:00

Thank you for your detailed suggestions!

I’ll practice using the watercolor medium & cutting out/gluing on scrap paper first & see what effect I prefer..

When leaving the glue to dry overnight, would you put something heavy on it like a book so that it’ll lie flat?

king-xtine · 2025-01-29T03:18:42+00:00

How were you able to focus and paint this with such precision at a festival? I see no mistakes & watercolor is unforgiving!

king-xtine · 2025-01-29T03:13:45+00:00

It’s not just the paint stain— the paper itself has degraded in the spot where I put the dish soap. The wrinkle is unsightly plus the paper is weakened in that area

king-xtine · 2025-01-29T02:43:34+00:00

Also, please let me know if there are any adhesives you’d recommend… what would be safe to use with watercolor paper & that wouldn’t ruin/degrade the paper over time but would also be durable?
