Unusually pretty hair is like a large busom.

No matter what you do, some guy is going to assume that you wore it down, wore it up, braided it, curled it or are wearing that cute barrette in order to entice him.

Probably why so many women are eager to cut it off or maim it by dying it some bizarre color.

Still, modest hairstyles that look good are the best. Because you can look at them every day and enjoy them.

Yes, but I'm having some trouble figuring out what modest is.

I usually use plain hairpins or black clips, and I couldn't find some and stole two lavender butterfly clips from my daughter and everyone remarked on it. Are colored or shiny barettes immodest?

What about ribbons, bows, headbands?

And are updos inherently immodest?

Is wearing it down immodest?

I feel like I'm being made to feel unnecessarily neurotic about my hair.

Or, braided like this?

Modesty is in the eye of the beholder. "Drawing the male gaze" is what you try to avoid if you're being modest, but it's an impossible hurdle because some men are always looking.

I think any kind of braiding looks nice and never looks immodest, imo. Hairpieces add beauty and elegance. I think just like all women's hairstyles haha. Tbh, I probably don't know what counts as immodest.

I don't, either. Even tying it up in an ugly bun will get someone going, if he's thirsty enough. 🥴

I have headcoverings, but I've had men inform me that hiding my hair is even 🔥 than displaying it, so the futility is real.

At this point, I just do whatever.

Just do what you want and what looks nice when you look at it 🤷‍♂️

Yeah, I think some men are just easily excited and that's their problem.

It's amazing how little it takes, nowadays. Everyone complains that women look so butch or dowdy, but if you try to be more feminine, everyone freaks out, because they aren't used to seeing it.

Don't let your pretty hair or soul be defined by some random ill mannered dick.🧐

Yes, it just never struck me before that this is why I kept cutting it off.

I would have it longer and something odd would happen and I'd cut it all off again. And then I'd miss it and grow it out again.

Like a Yo-Yo. Up down up down up down...

Keep your hair so long it slaps them when you turn away.

🤣

I used to do it actually! It's best with a wet braid🫡

😂 Mine is only shoulder length, so far, but I will keep this in mind for later.

Please do. And remember, it's ok to punch an awful guy, but pain from words is better and will stay longer.

You owe someone a few slaps for this mindset😏

There's an unwritten rule that hair must be cut shorter and shorter, as you age, and I've been hairing in reverse.

Tell that to my grandma. She still keeps her hair in a braid down to her hips.
