Women only trans inclusive This is an inclusive community for all things women. Whether you're here for make up tips, feminism or just friendly chit chat, we've got you covered.

Rules…

  1. Women only… trans women are women, and transphobic or gender critical talk isn’t allowed. Anyone under the trans umbrella (e.g. non-binary, bigender, agender) is free to decide whether a women's community is a good fit for them.
  2. Don’t be a dick. No personal attacks, no aggression, play nice.
  3. Don’t hate on groups, hatefilled talk about groups is not allowed. Ever.
  4. No governmental politics, so no talk of Trump actions etc. We recommend Feminism@beehaw.org for that, but here is an escape from it.
  5. New accounts or users with few comments may have their posts removed to prevent spam and bad-faith participation.

I love having short hair, like short and spiked in back with long sweep bangs in front, because my hair is very fine and thick, so very staticky and limp and stick straight and boring, but I usually keep it tuck-into-pants long.

It grows about an inch a month, and I’m not swapping my routines from “cut 8-10 inch off once per year at most” to “cut once a month or more or have it look like shit”. I can’t afford that at $65/cut anyway.

I did have that super short cute style for a couple years and I loved it, but the upkeep suuuuuuuucked. I had the energy for it back then tho, cuz it was also doing fun colors I’d swap out every week or so. But the upkeep on long hair that I never leave down is also starting to suck so idk.. maybe I’ll go back to fun colors, make the cuts worth it. Learn to maintain the back myself (I already do the bangs myself, they are the same I have now, so)
