My sister recently chopped her hair short (not for the first time, but definitely more severely than ever before) and she hates it so she keeps sending me questions about styling it and asking if she can risk cutting it shorter, etc.
I don’t know how to tell her that the secret is 1. Genetics and 2. Super duper not giving a fuck. (And also, optionally, 3. Be gay).
I barely brush mine, buddy. When I go to the stylist I say “shorter there but not here but also idk do what you want, you’re the expert.” I know nothing.
Universal rule: the fewer fucks you give, the better your hair looks.
