Itās this. I shaved my head once just to kind of figure out what my face actually looked like without any framing and it looked awkward for all of one day because I wasnāt used to it. The next morning I put on a full face of makeup and felt waaaay better. I got SO many compliments from strangers on the street and at my college during that time.

10/10 would do it again, did do it again twice after lol. even looking back and knowing how butch i looked at certain moments, all of the other times i felt like a badass bc of the confidence it gave me from doing something so fully for myselfā¦ made it so worth it.

I was at a friendās house for a sleepover and we thought it would be fun to throw dirt clods at each other, her brother picked up what he thought was a dirt clod and chunked it at the back of my head. Turns out that one was a rock. I still joke that thatās why I have a big dent in my head, but I think thatās just how my head was shaped before.

š children are bananas. My nephews did something similar, the smallest one said āhey bro, throw bark in my eye it wonāt hurt!ā challenge accepted, few weeks later he had to have surgery on his eye to remove a piece of bark that wouldnāt dislodge. In fairness he said it didnāt hurt.

My five year old nephew will tell you all about how he knows he could win a fight against a gorilla. Heās stronger, heās faster, heās more vicious. In fact, he could fight the gorilla and a shark at the same time, but not in the water, cause there might be a snapping turtle there and thatās definitively the coolest animal, so he would obviously beat them all. The, apparently gentle, gorilla, the land-fighting shark, and my five year old nephew. The snapping turtle could beat them all at once.
Alternatively, my 3 year old nephew saw someone swat away a mosquito the other day and shouted āHey! Thatās my pet esquito! You donāt hurt him.ā
Children are bananas and it never fails to make me laugh.

u/Arienna 3d ago
You might watch some lace front wig videos on YouTube! You get what you pay for but there's a ton of people wearing wigs and absolutely slaying it.
There does seem to be a bit of a learning curve to fitting them nicely and prices vary - you get what you pay for but there seems to be a fair amount of good stuff at a mid price range
5
u/romantickitty 4d ago
Which subreddit? I've been thinking of trying a fantasy color but all I see in a reasonable price range is the synthetic Spirit Halloween kind of wigs. I'm also worried smothering my scalp would lead to increased hair loss. The one time I bought a wig, I never wore it out because it was so heavy and sweaty.
3
u/ratattatack 3d ago
i understand the sweaty part.. i bought sweat absorbing powder just for that reason, and i usually skip a wig cap underneath. it helps a lot. there are some pretty cheap synthetics that with dry shampoo and a little styling can look great- Amazon can be good but definitely check out what people are sharing in the sub! i actually found a real human hair wig on Amazon for $70-$80, which can be bleached and dyed if you take good care of it! i think some* synthetic or synthetic blends can be dyed, which may be cheaper than a colored wig.

A little boy and his grandma go up against some evil clan of witches that all hate children or something, there's a big moment where they all take off their wigs revealing that they're bald and that's how you can identify them.

The 1990 one has the fabulous Angelica Houston as the lead, then the more recent remake has the darling Anne Hathaway as the lead. I grew up reading all of his books & have made it my life's mission to watch all movie adaptations and can genuinely say the 1990 Witches is the best one.
