i've been more leaving my hair down when i first get up in the morning but it is often too windy to be practical outdoors so i tie it in a pigtail. it's also a hassle in bed because your back pulls on it, so i have to lift my head and pull it back behind me. it's also a hassle when i'm really sweaty after a long walk outside in sunny weather and sticks to my back.

but i like having it long, always wanted to have long hair in a ponytail and when i'm feeling more proud i tie it up higher. occasionally i make it into pigtails when i'm feeling particularly weird. i probably will eventually get into plaiting it later, seems quite practical for heavy physical activity. certainly if i am working with machines like drills and saws i probably will do the man-bun to avoid getting it in teh machine and sawing my face off lol.

I tried not washing it at all, just scritching and brushing, when we lived in the States, but the transition is 🫠. And it takes up so much time.

And I complely gave up, when I started working at a bakery, as the flour got everywhere, even with a head scarf.

I only use soap on my hands.

I just use rough washcloths, otherwise, and scrub hard with warm water. Cured my chronically dry, itchy skin. Friction is enough, for most parts of the body, but hands can get gross. Using brushes to scrub hands, instead of soap, is pure torture. I know people who scrub their hands with brushes and then rinse with vinegar, just to brag that they don't use soap, and it's masochistic. 😂 Burns like a mofo.

Yeah, that's my fear. My hair really is deep black and every little flake can be seen from a mile away. As if it has its own personal spotlight. 😂🙈

And the water here is so hard.

I just keep the shampoo to the roots and scrub the roots and then rinse, and that's enough. I don't have a soap-phobia, or anything.

I know … I meant you’re prrrty in long hair 😍

I have a cheap Moto 😂🙈
