🎀 Fashion Weirdo Elegant Sweet 🎀
I’m kinda in this phase rn too, what my friends told me to do was to ask my hairstylist literally everything while I was getting my haircut. What kind of hair do I have, what products are you using, what styles can I make with this, etc…
For general stuff I second Terminal’s post.
Wtf doxxing my hair and haircare routine without even seeing me…
(Also the argan oil only being for mid or lower explains a lot of why it looked awful when I tried it years ago…)
Unfortunate 😔 I did the same when I started shaving my body, only reason I don’t still do it is I spent so much money on an epilator that I can’t use (hurtsss) and so I use the epilator’s shaving head nowadays to try to justify it to myself 🙃
I’d use it for body hair too if it wasn’t quite so small, is there a bigger version that still uses the same style of blade?
I’m just so happy for you though! You deserve to openly be your true self: a pee pee girl
Omg pee pee girl is back! Glad to see you going back to your roots 😁
I’m a bit of a Philips oneblade evangelist, I swear it’s better than any other electric razor I’ve tried. Doesn’t need cream and I’ve literally never cut my face with it once. Don’t even bother with the different heads, just use the blade straight. It’s not like a perfect shave every time (I find it struggles to get a good shave if the stubble isn’t long enough yet, but partly that’s to do with my facial hair not growing the fastest, if you get visible stubble every morning it’s probably perfectly fine), but it is a pretty decent one. You’ve seen pics of me and for reference it’s the only razor I use for my face. Also pretty cheap.
Basically any resource for haircare can apply to us too. The only transfem-specific things I’ve seen recommended is to have hair covering your hairline (either bangs or part the hair in a way that can cover them) and my stylist’s suggestion of shorter face framing tendrils to make a person’s face seem more round. Also definitely go to either a trans-affirming stylist or nice hair salons that cater to women, since they’ll cut your hair in femme ways that you wouldn’t get at barbershops.
Congrats!! Excited for you!!
Me. It’s lovely, every moment and every change is blissful euphoria.
Utterly disgusting. I assume your school policy/prof is pro-AI? If not I’d just tell the prof and watch the fireworks
Well, if you can find women’s pants and shirts for your work that can be a small affirming thing and no one will be able to tell. If your hair is long enough you can try styling it sometimes at home. If you are alone/safe at home you can also just get whatever clothes you want to experiment with, preferably by thrifting so that it’s cheap and you don’t feel as bad if a piece doesn’t look great (but I understand that can be stressful so if it’s too much buying online is fine too)
Seconding the framing hair. It’s especially nice if you can get it at like, cheek length where it covers a bit of your face since it can round out the look and make you appear more femme. It’s what my trans hairstylist recommended to me and I love how it looks.
We need to haircare-pill more transfems, I’m on my own haircare arc rn and even something as simple as adding a saltwater spray has big effects (provided your goal is adding volume and waviness to straight or wavy hair)
I understand, but it’s a lot easier to communicate what you want and learn how to care for it if you do. Plus who knows, maybe you can make a friend.
