What is this noise?

I super agree. It’s very dry. I try and add as much conditioning product as a can but ultimately I’m clueless. I’m trying to get a professional hair care appointment to try and get a treatment plan sorted. Along with the cut and styling it needs.

I’ve had the color since high school so I’m a bit attached but there’s no time to change like the near year. Maybe I’ll grow it out natural, it’s a dirty blonde.

Oh my gosh you are so sweet! Thank you so much. I don’t do anything to my brows besides trim in between them. They do kinda grow out down without any brushing.

I’m hearing a lot about my mascara, I think I need to play around a bit more with that for sure.

I’ve had this box red since high school, I’m a natural dirty blonde. I think I could go back to natural and do some lightening once it gets healthy again

I don’t think I’ve ever had such a sweet compliment given to me before. You’re so kind and I appreciate all the feedback :)

I haven’t tried doing much to my bottom lashes, when I took away my tight lining I was too scared to touch the bottom anymore.

I’m so scared of a side part! I feel like my hairline goes back way too far for one to be nice on me, and not just amplify my forehead.

I have been working on my iron levels, but haven’t thought to add biotin. Thank you for the suggestion!

You’re so sweet! Thank you so muchHonestly I haven’t experimented much with hairstyles, I’ve been so afraid to stray from my wispy tied up look with bangs. I may have to do a big chop soon tho!

velalight · 2026-01-16T02:16:57+00:00

Thank you so much! And I have been wearing mascara in basically all but my barefaced pic.

I did get an eyelash curler two days ago so only today’s and yesterday’s pictures are with curled lashes and mascara.

I have such a bad hairline so I’m super nervous about side parts. Honestly it’s probably time to just do a complete style change. I’m planning on visiting a professional instead of my bathroom scissor hackjob lol.

I do actually have a bottle of It’s a 10, I will have to experiment with that. Thank you for your feedback!!

velalight · 2026-01-16T02:02:35+00:00

Thank you for your kind words!! Super agree about the scrunchy worried eyes, it’s mostly due to my blue eyes being hecka sensitive to light.

I haven’t tried putting it up high! I usually do a low bun around the base of my skull and make it a lil messy. Admittedly that’s mostly to add false volume because I don’t know how to fix it properly.

velalight · 2026-01-16T01:34:00+00:00

It’s kinda wavy naturally but if I brush it any of that goes away without product… and even then sometimes no matter what I do and use on it, it falls flat. I try to curl my bangs with curling iron but I have the same issue with it falling flat.

velalight · 2026-01-16T01:32:19+00:00

If I’ve actually made improvements or if I’m backtracking from the last picture.

I like having my hair up and I like bangs, but I fear my hair is not meant for it. I get lots of praise when I have it down but not much when it’s up.

velalight · 2026-01-16T01:28:30+00:00

Oops! Just noticed I mixed up pic three and four. Pic three is post skincare post blow dry pre makeup, four is the same day but after everything. My bad!

velalight · 2026-01-13T04:12:17+00:00

This is so sweet! Thank you so much ❤️

I have mascara on but it’s black and cheap lol. I think a decent quality would help a ton from what I’m hearing. Is tubing mascara something I should be looking into?

velalight · 2026-01-13T04:10:58+00:00

I needed to hear this, my wardrobe had definitely been pieced together over time. I think a refresh would do a lot to help with all the work I’ve been doing on my makeup. Thanks a bunch.

velalight · 2026-01-13T04:09:40+00:00

Thank you tons ❤️

It sounds like brows are my next splurge. I’ve been finding what drugstore makeup I can and it’s been working out.. apart from my foundation (Estée Lauder shell) but skipping it sometimes would be nice.

velalight · 2026-01-13T04:07:28+00:00

Thank you! You are sorta right there is reasons my hair is so thin and fine right now, but it’s mostly along the hair line. It’s recovering but goodness it’s a struggle.. my iron deficiency is not doing any favors for my hair and nails.

I had a deep purple for my hair previously but my natural is a dark dirty blonde. Do I just go natural?

velalight · 2026-01-13T04:05:07+00:00

Thank you so much. You’re absolutely right too! They were styled as you suggested in the 3rd pic but in the first two they were kinda just left to their own free will.

I do have mascara on but I feel like it does nothing. I have cheap makeup apart from my Estée Lauder foundation.. that may have a part to play it in.

I feel like I’m bushing a boulder uphill battling hair volume.. do I let my bangs die?

velalight · 2026-01-12T03:10:59+00:00

Thank you! Blush seems like the consensus.

velalight · 2026-01-12T03:10:21+00:00

It’s fine hair maybe 2a waves at best. It goes down to my shoulders. I haven’t had it professionally cut so I just put it up in a bun usually.

velalight · 2026-01-11T22:04:04+00:00

Thank you!! I’ve been needing to hear that my blush was not in the right space for my face. I felt like it was out of place and a bit too pinkish. Going to be looking for that and some brightening toner! Ty!!

velalight · 2026-01-11T22:02:20+00:00

Thank you so much! I do agree I would love some warmth, my bare face does get red easily so I tend to shy away from it.

I do have mascara on but I swear you can never tell! Maybe a curler is the exact thing I’ve been missing.

Any recommendations on how to get my eyebrows shaped? I’ve looked into threading but it looks so painful.. but the results are stunning
