The Random Hair Thoughts Megathread

**TatsuOni** · March 18th, 2025, 07:19 AM

I don't celebrate my anniversay at an exact date. I just go with the beginning of July because that's around the time I began growing my hair and joined here. I can rememeber a month

An exact date I would miss.

And tomorrow, it will have been 6 years since my last full root bleach, and thus, the official anniversary of my starting to grow out my natural hair! I haven't yet declared myself completely bleach-free, because there's still the tiniest bit, like 2 cm, of bleach left in the longest front section of my hair.

That's a huge accomplishment, isn't it? Patient really paid you off.

I know own a ringlight, can't wait to take some pictures.
Also, what's going on with this side of Germany? So many longhaired folks. Till classic it still feels 'average'.

My second anniversary (March 15) has passed as well, but since I hardly take any pictures, it's not worth starting a thread for it. Even when the issues with the site are fixed, I don't see this changing anytime soon. I can measure my hair (or anything else) on my own without having any kind of physical record. I use an outside hosting site (Imgur) not the albums on the site (I only have two pictures in mine, which are just some drawings I got made for Make Me A Jedi, one with my current hair color and one with my old one).

Congrats ylva!

I saw someone with cool hair today I was going to say something but didn't. Good thing too because it ended up being a wig

😅

Every once in a while I get the overwhelming urge to dye my hair a natural red, but the fear of it bringing on a major identity crisis has always stopped me in the end

Maybe one day I'll get the courage, or at least find a way to temporarily colour my hair to see if it's for me.

I imagine that it would be a bit farther travel for you, just for a little trim

Thank you!

I remember all sorts of useless dates, but I can't remember important appointments and such for the life of me.

I think it is. I don't understand how I was able to put up with the maintenance before. Now it feels like just getting my hair cut twice a year to maintain the length and face-framing layers is too much work.

Happy belated second LHC anniversary anyways!

I've seen my hair in a picture and, even though I'm satisfied with the quality of my hair lately, the stagnant length doesn't go unnoticed. It's somewhere between MBL and WL, and it seems like I can't grow beyond this point (and that's 100% a mental block, since I keep cutting it shorter when it gets past WL). I'm sad, I can't deny it. I wish I would've let my hair just grow, I really want to experience longer hair, but by a certain length it somehow gets in the way. Maybe this year I'll get past this mental block. That'll be something.

I hear you, it's disheartening when it seems like your hair doesn't grow any.
My question though is if you do any measurements every few months or so? That way you can remind yourself that your hair does grow. (Myself was reminded of that fact earlier this afternoon.)

Welcome to the self-sabotage club consisting of me, Bat, and Paulownia, all of whom would have been to WL and possibly further if we wouldn't keep cutting our hair.

I *just* told myself this morning that this is the LAST year I'm stuck at MBL.

I completely understand how that feels I can't seem to get past the 4 month post buzz stage because I don't like the color and previously I didn't like the wave ( due to a recent wig experiment soft S waves look pretty nice)

Maybe you just hit that stage where it must be up instead of down, I know for me around shoulder I have to have it in a half up or ponytail otherwise my sensory issues get aggravated with hair brushing the sides of my neck
