I know this topic may not seem post worthy, but because of stress, an illness (non-anxiety related) and going without food because of income - I had lost a lot of my hair. My hair use to be incredibly thick and very curly and I never really did anything to it except shampoo and condition. It was so thick and curly, oh and long (stubbern Irish locks). I was teased all through school. I didn't have the sleek shiny in-style doo. Though, I've been spoiled because some how every close friend I've ever had has been a stylist on the side. I've never had more than a trim done to it.
Well, the problem is - my hair has grown back. Not like it was: Less curly, very thin and ALL GRAY. How the heck am I going to go on a job interview with this new doo? Oh Good God!!!
I do not know anything about coloring hair or cutting it. If I try to color it myself I'm terrified it will all fall out. I cut five or six inches off last week by putting it in a ponytail, raising it up above my head and hacked it and it's still on the long side.
I have no income right now, but I want to start working again. I'd really feel much more comfortable if a professional did it. My hair is so bad that I wouldn't have anxiety about sitting in the stylist's chair knowing I'm one step closer to being employed! I've called around and I cannot believe how much it is to get your hair colored. It's a crime what they charge!
I do look like a freak. I wouldn't hire me like this. I use to interview potential employees and if they didn't have the basics taken care for an interview that was the only red flag I needed to not hire them.
I know this seems petty and ridiculous to talk about, but I have no one to talk to about this. Having SA and always worrying about my physical presentation puts more of a SA damper on trying to get back into the workforce. I get embarrassed going into a 7-Eleven!
Does anyone know about hair coloring or at-home coloring?
Does anyone else have difficulty/anxiety regarding hair care/going to the barber?
Does anyone think this was a shameful idea to post this?
The only idea I've had is this brown Crayola marker my little nephew has, and I've been wondering about the other benefits of food coloring.
