I stopped washing everyday and my scalp thanks me for it. I was my hair about every 5 to 7 days

Me too, I usually wash it only on Sundays...but sometimes it just feels like a big chore, it's so much effort...

Probably because I don't know how to dry it effectively...maybe I need to watch a tutorial?

do make sure to put some oil in it once it's dry though.

me too, I put oil every once in a while and brush them everyday to keep it nice. I have fairly long hair now (3+ years growing!)

Headbands and scrunchies are your friend!

confirm!

Also milestones worth celebrating (say, with a beer or smoothie or banana split):

  • Hair in the eyes ✔️
  • Hair in the mouth ✔️
  • Hair down the throat ✔️
  • Hair at the shoulders ✔️
  • Using an entire Costco bottle of fancy conditioner every month ✔️

I guess I have to catch up with my celebrations, yeah!

I'd also add

  • I am going to shower but I'm not washing my hear because it takes too much time to wash and then to dry!

Often, a lot of trans girls early in their journey of self ownership hesitate to use the label lesbian for themselves, because imposter syndrome is hard to overcome.

It truly is! Even though I know all this I still struggle telling girls that I'm lesbian. But when I do and they're understanding (99.9% of the time?) I feel happy and validated.

But nonetheless I still have my imposter syndrome :(

I was very afraid of telling people my chosen name until I came out to two female friends of mine and the always introduce me as Alice and they love me very much and their friends as well.

Feeling loved as Alice was for me the "click" for internalising that "I really am Alice"

I am still scared to introduce myself as Alice because I don't pass very well and I don't want people asking me questions, but at least I'm now 100% that I'm Alice, a girl, and that I want people to refer to me using the feminine forms of my language :)

switching from calling me handsome to beautiful ❤️

omg that sounds like it would melt my heart into a puddle from happyness 😍 🥰

that's great news sis ♥️🏳️‍⚧️ one day that'll be me!
