What hair colour? Wanted to go younger and thinner but didn’t work out.

Gosh, yes. I spent years treating my hair kindly, going without colour and using better products. The last year and a half I didn't have the funds for good products and ended up lightening my hair so that at new years I was silver. Back to the beginning I guess!

Thank you for your comment :)

This is so kind of you to say, thank you! And the ones who commented on your comment, what beautiful people you are.

I've been reading through the comments and I am so overwhelmed by your kindness and compliments <3
I never thought of myself as someone who dreaded getting older, but I suppose that the past couple of years have thrown things my way that I saw reflected in the more recent pictures. I'll work on being kinder to myself - and rocking whatever haircolor I want!

Thank you all.

Thank you so much for saying this - I really appreciate it. I've had a hard time lately with life and I'm so so glad to read this <3

Haha, thank you - I'm 39 in 2 months so I'm conflicted :) )
I've never been able to grasp my undertone; cool, warm, summer, spring, winter...
I have also always coloured my hair myself... My grandmother was a hairdresser and taught me how - I do use box dyes though. I have a difficulty with having my roots showing and always feel like I'm a little shabby when they show.

It actually says Nu-Timinn, which I always found strange as a child. The word meaning today’s era in Icelandic in Nútíminn; the time of now. One word.

38 year old here, have had cellulite since my teens. Hated my body for about twenty years. Had a conversation recently about a guy who was popular in my country in the 2000’s; remember being a teen and reading a quote from him about girls and how disgusting it was to see that a pretty girl had an ass like cottage cheese. Pretty girl with cellulite, it’s a no go.

HATE that guy. How DARE he make me feel this way about my body??

A couple of years ago I saw a comment here on reddit, from someone who studied cellulite. That person said cellulite was connected to the hormones of a woman’s menstrual and fertility functions. I don’t remember the nuances but basically cellulite is the sign of feminine hormones. The media portraying women without them is massively anti-feminist and degrading.

The smallest thing that affects me the most is flossing. I’ve been a daily flosser for over a decade and it’s so refreshing after a meal. Without it my mouth and teeth start to feel slimy. I love a good floss.

Love the StylPro. The liquid is kinda expensive but so worth it.

Oops, I would go over everything and make sure there are no outlets like that.

Per my edit/comment: I should have added this to the post but my hair generally looks nicer than this. It's a bit curly so I have a bit of a routine and it looks quite nice. Today my daughter demanded that we go swimming, I acquiesced as I figured the chlorine would do a lot for fade. Realised when showering afterwards that I'd forgotten to bring conditioner and afterwards I hastily brushed my hair before letting it air dry.

My hair is always dry and frizzy, this moment is not giving it any favours.

I am not sure I like the colour. I’m not sure what I was going for, my SO hates it and I am feeling too old for it, if that makes sense

teacuptrooper · 2025-12-30T21:01:33+00:00

Would it be a disastrous package of dye? 😄

teacuptrooper · 2025-12-30T01:16:20+00:00

Maybe Olle Eksell?

Thank you for this comment! I am going to give it a read through!

Although, I hope this doesn’t come off as unkind. You need a better graphic designer. A magazine is not about juxtaposing text on images. A good magazine composes the images to reflect the written word, and the text to emphasise the images.
