As the title states, I have low density hair which means with certain styles you can see a lot of scalp *sigh.* I never had box braids or twists before, but I'm afraid to commit due to the fear of it really showing how sparse my scalp is. I'm going to Mexico this year and really need a protective hairstyle that won't make me look crazy. Or maybe I'm overthinking this? Anyone have any tips or suggestions?

the title is pretty straightforward. i just LOVE how box braids look, and always wanted to get them done, but i'm not sure if they'd look good on me or not... i have short hair and bangs, and a big forehead with a heart shaped hairline (i don't know if it has a name, that's the best way i could describe it 😭) that looks like it's receding in some points since i've had long hair for years and they were always tied in a tight high ponytail. all these things make me wonder if getting box braids would be a good idea or a terrible one-
(since i'm white and i've seen many "cultural appropriation" debates on internet regarding this hairstyle, i want to specify that from my point of view, it's more like "cultural appreciation", i just love how they look, but if you think getting them done would be disrespectful, please let me know: i don't want, by any mean, offend anyone ⁾

Hi lovely people!
I have thin, fine hair that is a little long (down my breasts or so) to and stick straight.
Next weekend, I’ll be a bridesmaid in a friend’s wedding. I elevated to do the profesional hairstyling since I am not good at doing my own hair, but I need to come up with a requested style. Everything I’m seeing online requires twice the amount of hair I have, requires shorter hair, or will show my scalp… I’d prefer not to feel/look bald if I’m paying $200.
Does anyone have fancy styles they recommend? My hair doesn’t hold a curl well but I worry it’s too thin to do a nice braid. I don’t care whether it’s up or down, or some combination of both.
Any suggestions are appreciated! Thank you!

So, way back after season 1 came to an end, there was an actual period of time until season 2 came out. I was a kid and going crazy because there was no content. I really got into this small community of editors(?) who photoshopped Screenshots and made their own story or cool edits.
There was this one girl who made her own superheroes. One was a girl, who's whole thing was that her miraculous was based on a cheetah. (I think? The patterns were very minimalistic, but it was either a cheetah or a leopard) She also had long brown hair that I think was in a braid-ish hairstyle, but I may be remembering that part wrong. The other one was a guy. I don't remember what his miraculous was like but he was very emo and the creator shipped him with Adrien. There was one edit where they were kissing in the bushes and there was a whole video (animatic style) with the OC and the song "I'm not gay"
I have since tried finding these videos and edits, but I've had no luck so far. The videos may have been deleted, but if anyone can at least find the edits it would mean the world to me. Thanks in advance.

Introduction: Hello, I was born and raised in a devout Muslim family in Michigan. Islam was not just a religion for me; it was a way of life in every aspect. I prayed five times a day, fasted during Ramadan, and wore the hijab since I was 15-16. For many years, my faith provided me with a sense of community, identity, and purpose. Personal Journey: Growing up, I never questioned my beliefs. My family and community were my world, and Islam was the foundation of that world. However, as I entered my late teens, I began to encounter ideas and perspectives that made me question the beliefs I had always taken for granted. It started subtly—questions about the role of the Lord in every religion. During quarantine, I was 15-16 years old (now turning 20), I became so religious compared to the person I was before. I was reading the Quran and trying to memorize 99 names of Allah. I was fasting every Monday and Thursday (one time, my birthday was on a Thursday, and even fasted on the day). I wore the hijab and long skirt like I mentioned before. Experiencing Abuse: A significant and painful part of my journey involved experiencing abuse within my family. My mother is my first bully. She would throw insults and negative comments about my body and eating habits (no, I am actually pretty healthy). She is very insecure, and project her insecurities onto me. This went around for 5+ years. Key Questions and Doubts: One of the first issues that troubled me was the concept of being abused in Islam. Like I don’t know why some except me to trust a deity to give me a child abuser as my mother. Why would I do that? I also felt lost and hopeless when it comes to the whole thing about the respecting thing to my mother. Trust me, I do respect my mother, but she doesn’t respect me, making it so hard. I tried to find answers, but I never rather got a good one. Process of Leaving: I stop wearing hijab a few years ago. I am not going back. I loved it at first, but I gradually stop caring about it. I love my hair extensions (braids, twists, and planning to do french curls). I feel ten times more prettier for the clothes and hairstyle that I choose to wear. I am more into manifestation and affirmations to be honest. Spiritual is more freeing and gives me a happiness. Honestly, spiritual feels like a nice, warm hug. I am planning to buy some crystals too (rose quartz and citrine). Impact on Relationships: When I finally admitted to myself that I no longer believed in Islam, it did take a while. I think I was in denial for a few years. When I was 18-19, I stopped caring about religion as a whole. Although, I am more still questioning God to this day. I never told my family, knowing them, they would just get mad so I’m good. Hell, I never told anyone Muslim that I left the religion. I don’t need the extra backlash and stress. I only told my non-Muslims friends. Good thing that the only Muslims friends I have are online. They still call me sister, and I am just like ehh. Conclusion: Today, I moved out of my mom’s household. My journey out of Islam has been the most challenging experience of my life, but it has also been the most rewarding. I am at peace with my decision and look forward to a future where I can live in peace and happy.
Thank you for listening, and sorry for the long ass post.

I’ll try to be as objective as possible, but the short story is: When I ask for some of these qualities of life on TwitteX, I was told that they’re whimsy because there’re more important things for the team to focus on, but now with Loot Reborn maybe it’s time for some whims (good for everyone including unicorn gamers)!
1 Choose to play only day or night instead of cycle, or normal cycle (maybe in bed?) 2 Option to highlight Elite enemies for a color of choice. (for when we play without life bars) 3 Track Battle Pass objetives. 4 Combat Text Display: Show Critical Numbers only (including Overpower) 5 Choose Minion Health Bars colors. 6 Fast teleport to Tree of Whispers when Grim Favors is full. (instead of looking on the map) 7 Remodel some set transmogs visuals that are repeated and make them look unique. (ex: Sorcerers Boneweave, Archon and Sovereign) 8 Bring back first beta Hairstyles. (Male Barbarian’s braids and Female Sorcerer’s long hair) 9 Black dye. 10 Side Quests tracker that we’ve done yet. (people stop asking for this) 11 Somehow we know when caused a lucky hit. (maybe a “L-H!” or a symbol) 12 Choose eyebrows and beards separately. (by the name of Akarat)
What else do you think would be an important but whimsical improvement?

have skyrim SE XBx
have a really obscure Q because my dumbass DID NOT save a pic of it but i'm looking for specific hairstyle i lost on my skyrim SE. does anyone know what mod contains a hairstyle like a mowhawk/undercut with a spikey braid/updo type situation in the back (female)?? shaved on the sides, a single hairpiece drops down over the forehead, the back is a spikey 90s barbarian type of braid/updo. almost very pamela anderson/90s spikey updo in the back but it reads very lesbian barbarian, very short!
had this hair on my orc tank and i LOVED it. i changed my LO, got rid of some mods and added some others then went to recreate the character and was missing the hair i had originally picked for her design. the only problem is that i DID NOT get rid of any hair packs. i have no idea what mod gave me this hairstyle but i would really like to get it back!
i have only ever run HG hair packs and currently have downloaded and enabled every available HG pack on XB1/X so i know it isn't any of those. thought it might have been an orc racial overhaul i had but have tried all of those to no avail. i've cross referenced my library on bethesda.net and still cant figure it out. i know its a long shot without a picture, but im desperate. at this point ill also take generic recs for nice tank-y barbarian type hair mods.

so i’ve known i was transmasc for probably 2-3 years now, and i’ve fluctuated with gender a lot in the past but have been pretty solid on name and pronouns for a while. however, i’ve constantly been stuck on this internal debate, where i convince myself i can only be a girl because i only look pretty as a girl and i know i could transition and look the way i want to but the chance im able to transition anytime soon is slim to none. im heading off to college next year and i really, really want a fresh start but that has to start with me being solid on my gender identity and im so frustrated with it all. i know i would love to pass as a guy and dress feminine then, even try going back to makeup and stuff, but when i dress feminine now, or put on makeup it feels so wrong. i look too close to a girl wearing makeup, and not a guy wearing makeup. when i get braids done or other feminine hairstyles per my mothers request, i feel pretty for a little while until it feels so sickeningly wrong and i need it out desperately. i don’t know what to do. with my parents paying for college, transitioning right now i don’t think is an option, but i want to just be a feminine guy in college, not a girl struggling to pass as a guy cause i want to wear skirts and shit every now and then. what do i do genuinely im so exhausted

My only issue with the cosmetics in this game is they barely change anything. They would be 10 times better if they had different hairstyles at least. Give us Julie with her hair down, Connie with braids, Ana with a ponytail, sissy with her hair down too.

Hello! My hair is the longest it's been since I cut it and dyed it a million colors in highschool, (then side shaves in college lol.) Right now the longest bits are to the middle of my back but I'm having some concerns.
I lose A LOT of hair in the shower. It's kinda crazy how much, I run my hand through my hair and a whole hair ball is woven around my fingers. I have had low vitamin d in the past which is what I thought was causing this but I've been taking vitamins for weeks and getting sun as well. My doctor (who runs blood tests on me every three months for other stuff) says nothing is wrong.
But also my hair is very fine and thin. I feel like I have to keep it in a braid or up with a hairstyle or else strands of hairs go everywhere, look like greasy tendrils, and risk getting broken off.
Right now I use Sally's generic color saving shampoo and conditioner as well as a hair mask with ginseng and caffeine. I also put oil on my scalp before a shower.
I don't use heat but I do dye my hair black every three to four months. My hair is naturally almost black but I just want it really black. I would rather not post a picture of my hair.

I’m really, really, starting not to like my hair. It bothers me that there’s all this extra work in order to take care of it properly, since it’s super curly (4b or 4c?)
My hair grows, and it’s quite healthy. The longest I’ve had it was to my butt. Right now, its just below my chest. So it’s not a growth or length issue. I’ve also never had it relaxed, I’ve been natural all my life. My routine and products I use are minimal, and I have the techniques down. I would say I’m quite experienced.
My main issue is that it’s not quite versatile. I know people mention all the things you can do to it, but it’s usually wigs, braids, or silk presses. I hate wigs, I hate braids, and constantly straightening your hair damages it and that’s its own set of upkeep. And if it is natural, the styles require a bunch of gel and tension.
For a few years, I had my hair in twists. That’s how I got my hair to my butt. But because of how long it was getting, I would only touch my hair once a month (I know, disgusting). It was getting to the point that I would start in the morning, and at best, end late in the night. I tried doing it more often, which did cut down on the time, but it still took basically all day just in more frequent intervals. I eventually decided to just take the twists out. Due to basically neglecting my hair, I had so many split ends and single strand knots I had to cut more than half my hair 😭
When I looked online for what to do with my hair, all I saw was wigs and weave. I get hot and sweaty easily, and I don’t like the idea of not having access to my scalp, so wigs are a no. I’ve had braids before, but I don’t like sitting down for hours to do my hair, and I didn’t want to continue waiting a month to do my hair or only having it in for 1-2 weeks and taking it out. I don’t trust myself to use heat, and I hate gel as it’ll make my hair greasy quickly. I also wanted styles where I didn’t have to worry about my hair too much, since I like to swim. But without those styles, it’s hard to have your hair looking decent.
My alternative to gel was to detangle and style my hair everyday. I would detangle it in the shower and style it when I came out. Since I didn’t moisturize it, that end up leaving my hair dry and with single strand knots, so I had to cut my hair again. Then I applied moisture every other day, which stopped the knots, but now my hair was getting dirty easily. Also, the routine of taking the time to section my hair, detangle each section, twist it up, and then find a style was getting tiresome. Finding a style while having kinky hair, there’s only a handful of hairstyles that work with no gel, so it was quite discouraging.
Eventually, I just decided to leave my hair in four braids and wash it once a week. My routine is simple: I detangle it in the shower before I start shampooing, I leave it in sections the whole time, leave the conditioner to sit while I wash myself, detangle and rinse it, use water and oil and braid them up. Throughout the week, as it gets frizzy, I detangle and braid it in the shower (which is about every other day).
I look back and I’m like, why all this work??? I watch people with straight and loose curls a lot and I wish I could do what they could with their hair. I wish I could just wake up, brush it out, and it’s decent looking or I can immediately style it. Or, even if I have to wet and detangle it, I wish I didn’t have to constantly section it off, and only let the water “reset” my curls. Since my curls are tight and can knot easily, I don’t wear it out without detangling it first which isn’t a simple ordeal either.
I wish I could do minimal to no sectioning, and when I’m done detangling I could take it all out and just brush through it. I wish it would stay decently detangled throughout my shampooing, and all I have to do is a quick brush through my head with the conditioner in before rinsing it out. I wish it didn’t take me almost 2 HOURS TO WASH AND BRAID MY HAIR EVERY WEEK! I wish when I styled it, I could leave more hair out and do cute minimal hairstyles, not worry about having to “stretch it out” or do looks that could be achieved with minimal to no gel (my hair just isnt like that lol). I wish I could just moisturize it and let it dry and be done with it.
I’ve had long hair: down my butt, lower back, and now I’m letting it grow out again and it’s about mid back. I can’t show off my length! I’ve always wanted long hair, and now that I do, I can’t even take it out and see it all because it’ll just shrink and be a hassle! I think my curls are pretty, but shrinkage limits styles so much and since they’re tight, wearing my hair out just leaves it vulnerable to breakage.
Another issue I have is cleanliness. I wash my hair once a week, but like I said, I’m hot bodied. I’m also active, so I sweat a bunch. My hair just gets dirty so quickly! My issues always been that I can’t just wash it, since it takes so long. I have a life! I have stuff to do! This is tmi, but I hate that I can’t wash my sweaty head! It grosses me out, and I’m always scratching it. I feel like no matter what I do, I’m a slave to my hair. This has to be my biggest issue, it gives me the ick.
My only hope is to shave it. I don’t mind wearing wigs if I have nothing underneath, if I decide to wear wigs. I can also wash it however often I want to. My only issue is my femininity. I love long hair, I love having long hair. I love measuring my hair from time to time and being happy with how much it’s grown. I love the compliments I get about my hair being (unexpectedly) long. Also, my hair wasn’t always long. Before I learned what to do and how to take care of it, my hair was the same length for years and I envied those whose hair was long and loose. I mean I still do, but it’s more for versatility and ease rather than it is about looks (although that does still play a role). Now that I have it, I feel sad about letting it go. It’s kind of like my identity, which is also a reason why I want to shave it off. I’m also already insecure about looking manly, so while shaving my hair from here on out might be freeing, I feel like it’ll amplify another insecurity.
I don’t know what was the point of me making this or if anybody cares but this is my dilemma and I dunno if anyone’s going through something similar.

hi! i'm southeast asian/filipino with thick and hopelessly straight hair that reaches my shoulders. i'm currently managing seborrheic dermatitis with prescribed creams/ointments and medicated shampoos. the thickness of my hair makes it such a chore to wash, and my medication placement is patchy at best.
i have an undercut to manage the thickness and i'm best able to apply medication on the shaved parts. i'm not inclined towards shaving my whole head but i'm 🤏🤏🤏 this close, ugh.
i'm hoping for suggestions on hairstyles to make it easier to wash my hair and apply medication on my scalp. would braids be an option for me? if so, what kind? (for context, i'm based in the philippines so i'm not too familiar with the socio-cultural nuances or implications of braids and race.) or just a short layered cut? even a pixie? any suggestions and insight would be appreciated! thank you!
