Headbands and scrunchies are your friend!
Also milestones worth celebrating (say, with a beer or smoothie or banana split):
confirm!
I guess I have to catch up with my celebrations, yeah!
I'd also add
I stopped washing everyday and my scalp thanks me for it. I was my hair about every 5 to 7 days. Unless I'm out hiking and sweating a lot or I just get really dirty but on normal weeks is like 5 days. I've got super thick hair as well so ya drying can very a real chore. I do make sure to put some oil in it once it's dry though. How do I post a picture so everyone can see?
Me too, I usually wash it only on Sundays...but sometimes it just feels like a big chore, it's so much effort...
Probably because I don't know how to dry it effectively...maybe I need to watch a tutorial?
me too, I put oil every once in a while and brush them everyday to keep it nice. I have fairly long hair now (3+ years growing!)
Alright, celebrating with a banana split sounds like a plan. Fucking love banana split
I've grown and cut my hair several times before I started balding, from my experience, hair in the eyes is the start of the awkward stage, and hair in the mouth is when you're at the end of it
I would say I only need a further 2cm for the eyes to happen, but my hair is rather floofy and needs to be a lot longer to actually fall down on my face
Soon™ I'm growing mine out again and I'm hoping my thin patch won't make it look awful lol. The finasteride has done some good work, hoping I'll see more regrowth
You'll look great, I'm sure :D
I hope so, I really want to be pretty and cute, but I might be a bit too old for that now 😂 I'd settle for beautiful though but we'll see how I go
Either way, you'll look good^^
