How can I regain my self-confidence when I’m feeling down?
I haven’t felt pretty for a while now. I doubt there’s a connection, but it started shortly after I stopped talking to my ex-crush.
Usually when this happens to me, it means I want to change my hairstyle. And as a Black woman, I’m lucky to have versatile hair that lets me easily switch up my look.
For three months, I changed my look every day with my wigs, I really enjoyed it at first, but then I got tired of it.
I told myself it was time to get braids! So I did! But the result is, I don’t like them. I think the color is too light on me after all, and friends have told me the curls already look damaged…
So now I don’t know what to do. I even tried putting on cluster false eyelashes, but in the end, it’s just not my thing…
I know I’m not ugly, but this feeling just won’t go away. What would you do if you were in my shoes?
