The Random Hair Thoughts Megathread

My leg hair follicles hurt. How can this even be an issue? I can't wear tight pants for too many hours because the leg hairs are laying in the wrong direction and the follicles get sore. But shaving hurts too!

I've been way too anxious about my hair lately. I might not be able to put my hair up with my sticks and forks at the moment but I'd rather pile it in a messy bird's nest bun secured with a satin scrunchi than obsess about it all winter.

Also, I trimmed my bangs a bit too short recently. I like them above my eyebrow but right now I'm putting out some major Yolandi Visser vibes. At least they'll be back to normal in a couple of weeks.

I don't wear tight trousers, but I do have to wear one or two pairs of thick cotton tights or leggings underneath them in order to keep warm - my leg hairs grow to around 1.5" and have a habit of not only laying in the wrong direction, but weaving themselves through the fabric of the tights and being pulled I'm not out of the house for very long on the infrequent occasions I do go out now though, so it's not too much of a bother this year. I haven't had the energy to shave often for the last several years though, so there were a few achy/painful winters (though the rest of my body hates winter too so the follicle ache was pretty much the least annoying thing )

It's really cold out right now (for Florida anyway, it was in the 30's this mourning!).
Cons: I'm cold
Pros: My hair looks great

4 days without washing and having my hair up in a bun constantly and my waves have almost completely straightened out.

Oh, I have always have this problem, it can be very painful. One of the reasons I shave.

Then, my leg hairs are black, thick, sharp and long and they can stick trough thin fabric. More reasons to shave...

I know, right? My car-mometer read 31*F when I left for work at 5:15 this morning, not taking into account the wind chill, lol. But my hair acts almost normal in the cold, non-humid air. I will miss it tomorrow when we're back in the 70's...

Kooky old ladies are the best anyway! That’s what I want to be when I grow up.

My face seems to be sensitive to fragrance in skincare so I'm limited to all the clean stuff, but my scalp and hair isn't, so gimme all the sickeningly sweet artificial fruit and berry scents, I want 'em all!
