I bleached my hair in September, and it’s the most myself I’ve felt in years. It’s probably ironic to make such a paramount and exterior change while in quarantine when few people see me on a day to day basis, but I’m having a lot of fun exploring my range of identities. Pink, purple, blue, and green have all been fun ones so far.

I’ve had my hair pink for a year, and I feel more like myself than ever. It makes me feel sexy and cool, but more than that it feels like the truest reflection of me :)
I just got my dye touched up the other day, and having the color this vibrant is bringing me all the joy

🪑I used to go to a professional when I had the Shizen hookup a few years ago. Now i’ve been off their roster for a while, so I learned to dye my hair on my own — i use bright copper permanent dye to touch up my roots and a manic panic potion on my ends to help keep my hair healthier. I wear gloves and sit at my desk and watch Pretty Little Liars while I do my hair. I got good at it and find it relaxing. I mastered the perfect hot cheeto color which fades out into a lovely gingery copper color. I decided i want to be a red head forever.
Love,
Fiona

💇I am a girl who changes her hair a lot. I hadn’t been that kind of girl though, but now I am. I think that mood, artistry and life itself really informs my perspective on my personal self image and perception of beauty, so I’m always looking to appear differently or uniquely, or as a somewhat different version of myself. Hair to me, is the biggest tool and canvas in how to change one’s appearance - even more so than makeup. In 2019 there was a point where I bleached literally my entire scalp and eyebrows (as a lot of people are now doing in this present day)… My hair was in twists, and so I looked like this character from a cartoon or anime in a majestic way. Yassified Super Saiyan! I’d still been a highschooler then, and that was the most free I’d ever felt with my image up to that point. To me, that was a real testament to the power of hair. From that point on my life became a pipeline from wigs to eventually protective hairstyles and I lived for every second of it. I still do!

🇫I started a Rohmer binge earlier this summer when I was feeling cramped up, horny, and very far from Cannes. Little did I know all I needed was to hit play on a few of these flicks on Criterion, and all of my needs could be fulfilled. Rohmer’s stories follow the most lovestruck, well-vacationed characters as they wash down kisses with martinis and fill their afternoons with silly games of phonetag and delectable meals. I love love <3

🛀I don’t have one but if you have one I can’t underestimate how important it is that you use it all the time. Ok I have a bath but it’s so small and sad. I have to fold into a pretzel -- a tiny one in the Chex Mix pretzel, not a big Beer Garden pretzel -- to fit and it always feels like it has residue of my aforementioned hair dye. But if you have you use it for me. Spread out. Sprawl. Light candles. What a treat it would be to have a bathtub during a year like this. I’d buy a floating tray, candles, bubbles that would make me breakout. I have to leave this fantasy, it’s making me cry.

👶The only face I look at more than my boyfriend’s these days is my own. In the mirror, on Zoom, in my selfie cameras. Like fermenting or trying a new format of the infamous “distanced hang”, skincare is an experiment. Babyfacial is my weekly ritual in vanity. It tingles, it burns, and a day later my top layer of skin flakes off. But it leaves me glowing and feeling productive.
