I get oily roots, thereā€™s a point where the oil is okay and it kinda works to keep the hair where it should be - but then the next day Iā€™ll need to wash it.

I have not found a shampoo/conditioner combo that works for me yet. Even the dry versions are meh. So I just have to wash it every few days, but then itā€™s super fluffy and looks wack as in the morning. I dislike the feeling of hair gel or hairspray, so I think my options are limited until it grows a bit. I also have a number of mental health issues that make personal hygiene hard sometimes, and honestly short hair is easier to clean and manage than long, for me.

Plus I have psoriasis behind my ears, which I think is caused by stress as most topical meds donā€™t work against it (had it since I was a kid), and I canā€™t apply them every day or it damages my skin in other ways. So either I have long unruly hair that hides my psoriasis, or a go short and have people silently judge me for a skin condition that I have little control over.

Iā€™m also a tad sad, as I do like long hair and feel more feminine. Iā€™m non binary, but my mum hated me looking feminine, so no dresses, no jewellery, no makeup, no straightening hair. So I wore baggy boys clothes and had frizzy hair, so I got bullied. Thanks mum. So as an adult I try to indulge myself with nice jewellery and dresses, long hair is a part of that for me. Sorry for the rant :/
