Hi. I took a long nap today so I’m awake.
Here’s a thread of my hair journey that no one asked for. For hair twitter, I’m AWARE that this is unhealthy hair practices. Plz don’t drag me. I was having fun lmao
Enjoy

So ya girl was born with a cute lil grain of off black curly hair. I had a couple of relaxers growing up, wore some ponytail pieces etc but never really touched it much. My hair was and still is super thin so I was never truly happy with it

I was always in love with colored hair. There was this girl on Disney channel who had red ends and so around the age of 10 (I think) I begged and begged and begged my mom to let me dye my hair. She eventually tried adding red to the ends but no lighteners so it didn’t show up

2012, age 16, i became obsessed with Jersey Shore. Specifically Sammie, begged for Hair Extensions. Had my first experience with clip ins

Was still a “child” and wasn’t allowed to dye my hair so I dyed the extensions purple. Didn’t know what bleach was so this was the brightest I was able to get it on my own

Found out how to lighten the hair first and dyed the extensions pink

Around that time I was moving into some phases, had my first side shave and kept the extensions (bought new ones obvi tho

)

2013, age 18, I made my first major change to my hair. I had it cut into a v short asymmetrical bob. I’d like to say one of my best looks. The side of my head was still shaved so I kind of let it all grow out together

I enjoyed the short hair but began having withdrawals so I let it grow back out. Eventually it did but I’ve never been able to manage my curls correctly. They always looked like crap to me. I h8 it here

2015 I started wanting another hair color. I wanted to go blonde but didn’t know how and everybody told me I was gonna go bald if I lifted that high so I went to brown. I wanted light brown but this was the lightest I could go before I got scared

This was a great hair era for me and I didn’t realize it. For some reason my hair wasn’t as thin. And sister I was LAID for months upon months. I didn’t take advantage of it ugh

I had always had this obsession with red heads. Growing up all my dolls were red heads, I instantly fell in love with any natural red heads, all my favorite characters were red heads it’s just always been a thing for me so I wanted red hair.

2016, age 21, I dyed that shit red

Now it was a rinse because at this moment in time I was lowkey still afraid of going permanent so this was supposed to wash out after a few washes but it didn’t.
It really wasn’t giving me the life I wanted from it. Loved the color but not my hair. So what did I do?

I cut that shit again. Another bob folks

Around this time, I tried dying it pink (it was another rinse) but the red was SO prominent, the pink didn’t really take so it just looked pinkish red.
I don’t know what was in that stuff because by the end of my college semester, around January 2017...

My hair shot tf out of my scalp, it was growing so quick. But you know me, she’s never satisfied.

2017, I actually used real hair dye and dyed it green. This is when I met most of my friends that I know now so they all remember THIS hair. This was a staple in my non existent career

The green started fading into a teal color which I actually loved. I cut the ends myself and my hair, even after all this, was still pretty damn healthy. In my world, healthy means “time to start fucking with it”

I got yet another side shave...

Around the summer of 2017, I decided one color was no longer good enough for me. So I had a moment where I attempted a Galaxy look. It was EVERYTHING

Unfortunately, I used two brands of hair dye to achieve this. One brand for the blue and green and another for the purple. The brand for the purple was SHIT. So the purple washed out immediately and it looked awful

I had a ton of blue left so I just dyed all of it blue

The green still stuck around tho so it ended up being blue AND green. Which was a look, I was ok with it.

I got my side shaved fixed before going to LA and decided to extend the shave to the back my head so now pretty much a third of my entire head was shaved

When I dyed my hair blue I was hoping for a deep royal blue but it came out a little faded. Crazy enough, my sister was getting married and guess what her wedding colors were? Blue. So guess what color I redyed my hair? (I’m sorry I don’t have good pics of it ugh)

And u better believe I got that side shave tightened up chile

Everytime I went to go get my side shave redone, I’d have them part it even further. I knew I wanted a change but I couldn’t admit it to myself that I didn’t want hair. I started taking pics with only my side shave showing because that’s what I was FEELING

October 2017, it happened

I CUT IT ALL OFF. I was OBSESSED.

She was a whole little bop too. This was one of my best looks. But boy was she something to manage. If I didn’t keep it cut it was very awkward due to my curls so I was constantly in this battle of do I want it to grow or do I want to keep it short

This is when I started experimenting with makeup. I was really into this whole aesthetic but as you probably know by this point in this thread, when things are going well, ITS TIME TO SHAKE THE TABLE

I went blonde, we-

And I was into it tbh. Another great look. I was surprised. I feel like at this point I should’ve had more flops than what I have had. But so far everything was gucci
