I Can't Leave the House With Messy Hair

I started doing half-up styles because they felt safe. Not too done, not too messy. Just enough effort to prove I cared about myself. But somewhere along the way, it became a prison. I'd stand in front of the mirror for twenty minutes, redoing the same twist until my arms ached. The bobby pins had to be invisible. The height had to be perfect. I realized I wasn't styling my hair anymore—I was building armor. Each careful section, each strategic pin, was another layer between me and the world seeing me as lazy. As someone who'd given up. The worst part? I stopped recognizing myself with hair just... hanging there. Natural. Undone. Like maybe that version of me wasn't worth leaving the house for. #HairPerfectionism #BeautyArmor #MirrorFatigue #Beauty #HairCare
