Venting my hair has been so ugly lately!!!!

[princessame]

I made this horrible HORRIBLE mistake of cutting my hair way too short and now I have to suffer the consequences. Apparently it's normal in my family for hair to grow faster or whatever.. but I don't really think that's all that true. I mean, I know my hair WILL grow out, but I hate waiting so long. I mean, I got hair extensions so it'll look more normal I guess, and I got things like wigs and stuff, but I hate having to do that at all!!! I just wish I could have natural hair that I like already, instead of feeling like I'm hiding away with something else. I dunno, I mean I like expressing myself with things like wigs and stuff and trying out new styles, but I feel like my grandma is kinda shaming me for it. I live with her and stuff and I know she's pretty old-fashioned, but it just makes me feel bad. I think the main issue that she had before was that she had paid for my hair to be cut and dyed on my birthday (well, a bit earlier than that) so she didn't want that to be hidden. Which.. is honestly super fair. But my hair isn't like that anymore!!! so it shouldnt matter!!! and literally no one else cares anyway!!! i dunno, i just want to be able to express myself freely. do you guys think wearing wigs and stuff is weird?? like i literally wear wigs that are natural hair colors (in public, when it isnt a cosplay event) so i dont see what the big idea is. even if they were unnatural colors, i still dont see what the big deal is!! i wish i could feel happy expressing myself and not feel like im being judged at my own home.

do you guys think wearing wigs and stuff is weird??

I don't~ :) I think wigs are neat! :3 altho, they can look kinda weird depending on how well they match one's eyebrows~ >_< which is why I'm just sticking to my normal-colored hair for rn, even while cosplaying~ even tho I got them for cosplay~
Anyways, since they're normal colors and all, it should be fine imo~ :) even if they weren't, it'd still be acceptable~ :) just make sure to watch for the eyebrows contrasting with it! and welp, your hair should grow out swiftly in due time just as you imply it will! :)

thank you for your kind words! and my eyebrows tend to blend well with the wigs i think, and most of the time (as far as i can tell..) ppl dont always dye their eyebrows to match their dyed hair, anyway. Maybe I'm just lucky to have eyebrows that match super well? thats never been something ive thought about before..

I believe your hair is beautiful how it is naturally. Y did you cut and dye it at all? There's always a risk that barbers don't do exactly what we expect. I'm sorry u have to go through this now but your hair will grow again - that is for sure.

And welcome to the forum!!

Thank you, Praestat! I was cutting it because I wanted to trim it (it was already pretty short previously), but I had made the mistake of cutting just a bit too short. And I've been dying my hair for years, so this was something I was used to and I just wanted to try a different color. And yeah.. my hair will grow again, but it always makes me sad anyway

That's interesting-- I've never worn a wig, and I currently have a pretty bad haircut. It's cool that your eyebrows match the wigs well.
