    That's the reason I kinda want to get a haircut. I've had longer hair for 15 years, actually long hair for 10. On a good day, it makes me feel cute and femboy-ish, but on bad days, I look like a metal dude. I like metal and used that to justify my long hair for a over a decade, but I don't identify with the community around it any more, so I kinda don't want to be associated with it by "wearing their uniform," if that makes sense. I don't know what I want to do with my hair, though. I want to keep it long but in a different way, I guess. A sidecut might be nice, but the feeling of asymmetry would drive me insane. Something like a "double sidecut," like an undercut with long hair in the back, maybe? It sounds cool, but I don't know how it'd look. Anyway, hair rant over <3

    Ive just recently grown my hair out for the first time and you really articulated how I've been feeling about it, thank you 😭

    After a year and a half with no cut I feel like I can finally start doing some cute styles. This entire time through the awkward phase I've felt like "metal-ish" without being able to put a label on it.

    In my opinion, most metal cuts are left down or put up in a single pony. Its almost like an effort to show lack of effort lol cute styles usually have a bit more complexity.

    Id say what's cute is trying new things like buns / clips / ways of putting it up. I want to braid my hair sooo badly but its still not long enough 😒
