Anyone else need to change things up all the time?



I have a couple of plans. Trying to decide on a facial piercing, and I may get one side of my hair cut short, it's getting sooo long.

Well, I want a facial piercing. I've wanted double eyebrow ones on my right eyebrow for a few years now, I just don't want to risk getting them in case I have an interview for somewhere. There's that, and the fact I want to have short hair again without it making me look like my head is square. I'd cut it in an instant if I thought I'd look good with it.

I think the piercings would look good Steve :) I guess interviews should be a concern for me, but there's always the option of a discrete retainer in those situations once it's healed. I wanted my eyebrow pierced for a while but now I'm thinking something along the lines of a vertical labret maaaayybe. Or septum, but it seems like that's the sort of popular hipster girl piercing right now.

I've been wanting to start wearing more dressy clothes like shirt, tie, and some slacks; transition out of jeans and t-shirts. I just don't have the cash at the moment. a little bit expenisve.

Yeah, I was thinking of a retainer, but if I get an interview within the 6 weeks I have the piercing (I think it's 6 weeks you keep it in, right?) I'd have to hide it behind my hair and hope for the best :lol: Personally, I'd say go for the labret over the septum, I don't really like those. Or nose piercings in general for that matter.

I generally just don't like how I look, which is why I change my hair so often. But now I'm bored of it again, so I'm waiting for it to grow out. I think I want to dye it, I'm still unsure as to what.

Drastic changes for me are a constant, I don't like feeling or looking the same for so long. I do like to change it up a lot.

Yeah I don't think I will get the septum, for a couple of reasons. I don't like nostril piercings myself, they rarely look good.
I'm not sure exactly how long you'd have to leave an eyebrow piercing in to be honest, I'd say six weeks would be the absolute minimum. I guess it's a bit more straightforward for me as I probably won't be looking for a job for a while...though I think I might just chance it anyway, nothing to lose. :lol:



@Ashin I hate waiting for hair to grow, it's so annoying not being able to do anything to it in the meantime. :(

Yes.

Went from having long hair to getting it cut. I was boring of it, plus it's the summer, and I'd rather have it short. I got away from the dressed up style I wore when I student taught. I'd like to go back to it.

And I'd like to get a tattoo; not sure what or where, but I don't have the money to afford one right now. :)

Yep, it sucks. It's currently resting on my shoulders now, I had it cut to my jaw, and the last time I had it cut was in March. It seems to take a while to grow, but I want it back to my waist length soon! I was hoping for it to be long again by September, but that's a stretch, haha. I've heard that protein is something that aids your hair in growth, so hopefully it will work for me. At the moment my hair is permanently tied up in a bun, simply because it's at an awkward shoulder length and I don't like how it feels, so I don't ever let it down now. :/

I think protein is good for healthy hair but I'm pretty sure nothing can make your hair grow faster. Sounds like your hair grows pretty fast as it is though! I just can't wait til I can dye mine almost white again, I feel so boring right now :L

Really? Ah, that sucks. But I have been having more protein-y foods, and my hair does feel more silkier than ever, haha. I'll just have to impatiently wait, I guess. Yeah, my hair grows relatively quick, but it feels like it's taking its dear time now. -.-

Are you hoping to go white blonde, or literally white? I know a girl who has white hair, and it's curly. It's such a gorgeous look, definitely eye catching. But a lot of effort to maintain! I think you could pull that off.

I recently got my hair cut the shortest it's been in about 10 years which was a pretty big change appearance wise. I used to have 7 piercings now am down to just the 1 (although a few are still open). I feel I'll probably get some tattoos or something sometime but am not really in any rush.

I like to change my look all the time. Lately since summer has arrived I've been getting more accustomed to dresses, skirts and tank tops.

I dye my hair usually blonde or red lately more blond for the summer months. I might get a tattoo soon but I'm not sure yet.

family/friends all know me as someone who dyes her hair quite a lot, haha. I'm always getting bored of it so I change it around as much as I dare without damaging it. I decided yesterday that i'm gonna have another hair cut, get a straight fringe again and get her to dye it deep brown again, my hair seems to hate dye atm though as I put blue on and that faded ridiculously quickly and then the deep brown store dye I had has faded to a sort of pale brown which I really don't like.
I got one piercing and I reaallllyyy want another one, I just don't know where... i'd probably have to get it in the winter too when we aren't travelling/in dusty places so much as it'd probably be a cartilage one and they take too long to heal.
Then I want a tattoo at some point tooo...


I used to change my clothing style LOADS but i'm quite happy with what I have at the moment, just need to work on expanding it a little bit - I got out of the whole teeny graphic tees and jeans thing, I wear plain tops most of the time now and i've been buying more and more of them.

I know an ear piercing is 6 weeks and a few others are, so that's where I assume everything else is at. I can always find out, though, at least.

I feel your pain, red is an absolute pain in the arse to get out. I stripped and bleached my hair when I had it red and I still couldn't get the thickest parts out, I was semi-ginger. I could slowly feel myself become allergic to the sunlight as my soul slowly left my body, so I had to just re-dye it a dark shade of reddish brown in the end.

Piercing wise, I don't think I'd ever get more than my ears pierced, and just a basic normal piercing. I loathe stretches and gauches. I used to want to get my lip pierced and I very nearly got my tongue pierced a few years ago, but facial piercings tend to remind me too much of a younger sort of age group, and if I want to be taken seriously in professional interviews I simply can't have them.

Clothing wise, I've somewhat settled into my style, but I've been trying to wear less black and nude (mainly on nights out), I really do live in neutral shades of grey, indigo, burgandy, black, taupe, cream etc.

I'd love to do something with my hair but I've no idea what. It looks ridiculous short. I was contemplating dying it red again, but it fades so quickly. My latest thought is getting paler shades of brown, caramel tones/dark honey highlights. But my hair is sooo dark that the maintenance is ridiculous.
