Life goal achieved: bishōnen hair

[dorchadas]

It's been a long-time goal of mine to have hair long enough that I can put it back in a messy low ponytail, inspired (honestly) by Hotohori from Fushigi Yūgi. And just recently, thanks to a donation of all of thosesocks's old hair ties and the length of my hair, I can finally do it:

I can finally do something with my hair other than just having it hang loose. Took me long enough to figure it out.

holy heck, anime is real. dang. Undertale was onto something. :^)

that's so cool! sometimes I wish my hair looked good somewhat long but I got Thicc Curl Hair and when it's dry, it makes my head look triangular. 'cause it just sticks out. I started cutting it short a bit after I came out to my mom as nb, and I love how easy it is to handle... but lately I've been thinkin' 'bout longer hair. I know I won't actually do it, though.

My mother has that same kind of hair, and keeps it shorter for much the same reason! I ended up kind of midway between that and my father's hair.

If my hair is neck-length, it does this awful outward curl and looks like whatever that popular 60s women's hairstyle is called (Google tells me "flipped bob"). I had to suffer through that to get to the point where my hair had enough of its own weight to hang down, but it's been long for twenty years now, so it's easy for me to be cavalier about it.
