I Hated My Hair.
We interviewed 5 drastically different women who shared one commonality that perhaps every woman can relate to - our tumultuous relationship with our hair and how society has shaped our views.
Richelle, Hailee, Zoey, Sarah, and Morgan's hair journeys reveal how important hair is to a woman's identity and our struggles to fit impossible celebrity standards.
Morgan, who was eventually diagnosed with alopecia totalis, first experienced hair loss in her late teens.
Hair is something we all take for granted and yet almost every woman has said at some point in her life, "I hate my hair."
As we dive deep into why that is, each woman realized she was impacted by society's standards of what "good hair should look like."
Richelle, a Black woman growing up in a predominantly White neighborhood and school, realized her hair was a source of attention:
Sarah, who grew up watching Korean dramas, recounted all the beautiful celebrities she saw on TV:
"I looked at all of their hair - you know, it was all straight, silky, long and black and so thick. You realize you're looking at hair that's 100% perfect."
These impossible standards tell us that our own hair, in all of its different textures, styles, thickness, and curls, are not good enough on their own.
The tumultuous journey impacts our identities, sense of self worth, and femininity.
Zoey, who struggled most of her life to tame her curly hair, realized she didn't necessarily need to fit into these standards through her journey of self discovery with her sexuality.
"When I started realizing I liked women, it completely changes your identity of how you present yourself. So my senior year, when I finally could go to prom and be out there, that's when I cut my hair."
Hailee also wanted her hair to reflect her changing identity.
"People tell you that you're pretty and valuable because of your hair. And no, I'm so much more than that. I told my roommate, you know what, today's the day...and we cut [my hair] all off."
Hating her hair, losing her hair, changing her hair - these are experiences that many women can relate with as we struggle to feel like we fit in and feel beautiful.
But this journey can also lead us to evolve, become stronger, and grow beyond popular culture and celebrities' depictions of "perfect hair."
"Good hair is perceived as long or straight or has a looser curl pattern, but over time I just realized good hair simply means your hair is healthy and you're taking care of it the best way you know how." - Richelle
"I went from I can't tell anybody because they'll judge me...to oh my god, this is the best thing that's happened to me.
You got through a journey of being this person that you want to be so badly. But just be who you are. I now love when people come up to me and say, 'omg I love your hair' and I tell them, 'Thanks! It's a wig!'" - Morgan
Each woman we interviewed recounted that their hair journey - whether it be alopecia and hair loss, chemical hair damage from hair dye or relaxers, trying to tame curly hair - helped them realize that they could love their hair despite it not being what others' said it should be.
This path to self acceptance and self love enabled them to want to share their experience with others in the hopes that it can help other women find peace with their hair.
"I'm going to come to this experience different. I'm going to see who I am with different hair and I'm going to love her regardless what my [previous] image of her was.
I hear people lean on my appearance as a woman. I think I'm a masculine woman. Like I don't think I'm a feminine woman. Femininity changed [when I shaved my hair]. I was looking at myself different. Other people probably wonder, 'is that a woman?'
And I'm ok with that. I think when we talk about femininity and masculinity, I think we have both and they key is to balance it within ourselves. I think [buzzing my hair] gave me the opportunity to express my masculinity more. Which is something I was afraid of - being a strong masculine character because I feel like in a lot of ways...that's intimidating.
But it's not, it can be gentle. My relationship with my hair now, I care about it more." - Hailee
Every hair journey is different and we all deserve to celebrate what makes us unique.
Curly, straight, thin, bald, and buzzed hair are ALL beautiful hair!

Recovering stolen bitcoins was a great experience for me recently. Initially doubting the viability of bitcoin recovery, I sought help from a recovery specialist named “RecoveryHacker101” after losing $46,000 in a binary options scam. Google had recommended this specialist. The team’s ability to recover all of my cryptocurrency in less than a week surprised me. If you are trying to recover lost Bitcoin or are having trouble withdrawing money from a cryptocurrency investment, send an email to [recoveryhacker101(at)gmail(dot)com].
Hi guys, my name is Sarah Flower, I ended my marriage in 2024 due to suffering from domestic abuse at the hands of my husband. Currently, he is trying to reconcile with me after finding out that I won a Jackpot Lottery Prize of $96 million. Fortunately, I received assistance online from Lord Meduza, the great spell caster who has successfully aided many individuals worldwide in winning the lottery. I reached out to him about my circumstances and expressed my desire to win the lottery. After casting the spell, he provided me with the exact numbers to play. Now, my husband wants me back, fully aware of my $96 million lottery win, but I told him no; I will not return to him. I am incredibly grateful to Lord Meduza, and if you find yourself facing a tough situation, I recommend that you reach out to him as he’s the best in his field. You can contact him on his

Good luck.
I rarely write reviews, but I had to for this! Because I tried several apps to help with no luck. Back then, I was very confused and always felt awful about my partner’s cheating attitude. I really wanted to track and catch him red-handed. I downloaded this app hoping it would help but I wasn’t satisfied with its features as I needed to monitor my partner closely. I then spoke with a trusted colleague of mine at work and she gave me a genuine recommendation about an ethical private investigator named WIZARD BRIXTON, I wrote to his email at WIZARDBRIXTON AT GMAIL DOT COM explaining how I wanted to have complete access to his call log, iMessage/SMS, social media activities, gallery, texts, deleted or not, his precise location day in day out. I paid for his services and in about 2-3 hours, I had complete access to his phone. I got concrete evidence. it was unbelievable to see the evidence of cheating on me. Who likes to live with a cheater, I used the evidence I got to file for a divorce. I’m thankful to BRIXTON for helping me out of my dilemma and suspicions. His services are highly rated and affordable. If you are having trust issues and need valid evidence, how about you contact WIZARDBRIXTON AT GMAIL DOT COM? Thank you BRIXTON for an incredible job !! I highly recommend his services, simply the best.

I was in the 660 FICO range due to a crypto investment scam that made me lose over $189,000 USDT, I even borrowed some of this money because of the high RIO just to buy my own house but wanted to be back in the mid to high 700s. Few months after I started the program with Hackwest at writeme dot com my mid FICO was 750 and my high FICO was 799. Bottom line – it works and I would not hesitate sending anyone to Hack West for credit consultation and repair. Credit affects insurance rates, mortgage rates, auto loan rates, Utility down payments, etc. It’s a no-brainer to get your credit repaired immediately if you want to get the best possible rates on those big ticket purchases in life.

As a seasoned business owner, I’ve always approached investments with caution. So when I decided to diversify into cryptocurrency, I researched thoroughly and chose what looked like a legitimate platform. The site was polished, the interface smooth, and the reviews convincing. I invested $82,000 and began trading. For a few days, everything seemed normal my account showed gains, and I received regular updates. But when I tried to withdraw, the problems started. My request was delayed, my account was locked, and support went silent. Soon after, the entire website vanished.I felt blindsided. A colleague referred me to Astraweb, a firm that recovers stolen crypto. I contacted them the same day and was quickly connected with a recovery expert. They reviewed my case, analyzed the transactions, and confirmed I’d been targeted by a known scam network. Astraweb’s team began tracing my funds through the blockchain. Despite attempts to hide the trail using mixers and multiple wallets, they located the final destination a wallet on a small exchange overseas. Within two days, Astraweb submitted a legal freeze request. Thanks to their swift action and legal network, my entire $82,000 was recovered within five days. I was relieved and impressed. Astraweb was fast, professional, and transparent throughout. They also helped me secure my wallets and avoid future scams.
If you’ve been scammed by a fake exchange, don’t wait. The faster you act, the better your chances.
