I Washed My Hair With Body Wash (And Felt Like a Fraud)

Last week, I stood in the shower, staring at the empty shampoo bottle. I reached for the body wash, knowing it wasn’t meant for my hair, but I did it anyway. I told myself it was just for today, but it felt like another tiny failure—like I couldn’t even keep up with the basics. My hair felt wrong all day. Greasy at the roots, straw at the ends. I kept touching it, wondering if anyone could tell. I thought about all the rules—what you’re supposed to use, how you’re supposed to look, how you’re supposed to care. I broke them, and it showed. It’s just hair, but I felt exposed. Like if my hair was off, everything else was, too. I wish I didn’t care so much. But I do. #BeautyBurnout #BareFaceAnxiety #MirrorFatigue #Beauty
