I just recently and finally got over a traumatic haircut experience, which makes me really want to hear some other stories. I'll share mine too. I grew my hair out crazy long during the pandemic, like down to my waist. It was the longest it has ever been. I have also never gotten my hair "done" before. Of course, the occasional cut, but I have never gotten my hair styled AND colored before. We are talking total virgin hair. I was so excited to get it done! Because my hair was so long, I was also donating it for the first time too. Well, idk what happened. My hairdresser never measured anything and instead of cutting off the 10 inches we agreed on, they chopped off a whole ponytail measuring 20 inches. I died to say the least. The way it was cut was so choppy, unmeasured and did not make any sense at all. I walked through my front door (sobbing) and all my mom could say was that she was sorry. Not even an "oh, it's really not THAT bad!" I'm telling you my luscious locks were butchered so badly, the next salon I went to in order to fix it said it was the worst they have ever seen. Nearly seven months later, my hair is finally back a length I am happy with and at least is super healthy!

I have a confession. I have no idea what concealer is for. How is it different than foundation? I have seen people use it in exactly the same way as foundation which adds to my confusion.

What is the point? Or is it just a scheme by big beauty to get me to buy more makeup?

This is a very personal question because i feel like NO ONE has the same answer. But I have to know, how often do you wash your hair? I know popes that say twice a week, every day, every other?

Personally, I’m an every other day. I have very fine hair but a lot of it so it gets oily sooo fast and always has.

And what products do you use to prolong your washes hair so it doesn’t look like a slimy little grease ball?

I'm working on two years of at-home haircuts. Sometimes I'd make my sister do it when she was in town, sometimes I'd just take some sheers to my ends and do it myself.

My hair is curly, but I often straighten it when I need to guarantee that I look presentable.

I'm wondering, when straightened, if people can tell that my haircut is sh*t.

Then I wondered, do people really notice these things?

So, do you notice nice cuts?? What stands out to you?

My medicine cabinet is FULL of highlighters purchased circa 2017. But my question is: are we still highlighting? If we are, how are we doing it? I can’t imagine ultra-shiny cheekbones are a thing in 2022, but correct me if I’m wrong.

Should all these highlighters go in the trash, or is there use for them yet?

i'll start first - i still have a blush that i bought from the first time i visited south korea with my parents. it's an innisfree one that is a pale baby pink - and over the years the compact has been dropped so many times that the tiny hinge broke and the cover detached. but i just can't bring myself to throw it away since k-beauty was my first foray into cosmetics and makeup overall
