Hi! I've been trying to grow out my hair for almost 5 years now, but it's never worked out for me. I have thick, wavy hair and the longest it's ever been is an inch or two below my shoulders. With the way it is right now, I find that there isn't a lot I can do with it. If I tie it up in a ponytail, it doesn't look that good, but it usually looks really messy if I just leave it be. I'd like it to at least grow to my chest but I'm slowly starting to lose hope considering I've barely had any progress for half a decade.

Here's my routine/more info:

- I get my hair trimmed every 2 months but I find that it doesn't help much either. This is probably as far as it can grow but I'd really like any inputs on what else I can do besides maintenance trims. I also take vitamin D tablets.

- I only shampoo once a week, and I wash my hair with water everyday because it looks messy as sin otherwise.

- I don't use straighteners, curling irons or blow dryers on my hair at all.

- I use regular drugstore shampoo/conditioner since I can't afford anything premium. I should probably switch to a leave-in conditioner, and I'd love suggestions for products that don't break the bank (if leave-ins are better)

Hi! I'm a 22 year old agender lesbian from South Asia. My personal identity is confusing, but I try to androgynous as I can, which I mostly succeed at. Location doesn't matter to me, but for timezone conveniences, Asia/Europe/Australia is preferred!

I'm looking for platonic friends that I can be close to, maybe even a best friend since I don't have one. I've struggled with having and sometimes, keeping friendships for as long as I can remember, and I've never truly had anyone that I could call my best friend.

I'm prefer talking to women and other queer people, but I'm okay with talking to anyone, if we actually have things in common, you're a decent person and not a dry conversationalist.

I generally live a very boring, shut in life. I graduated university a year ago, and I've been a NEET ever since. I'll probably suck at conversation if we don't have any interests in common.

Personality wise, I'm an introvert. I can't hold a conversation irl to save my life bc of my anxiety, and I'm a lot better at it online. I'm an INTP and a Leo. I'm pretty emotionally intelligent, even if a bit cynical, and a good listener. My sense of humour is terrible, and I'm pretty immature, but people tend to say I'm funny. I'm very chronically online and practically live on twitter, so I'll probably send you silly tweets from time to time.

//// My Interests

I'm in a lot of fandoms and I'm always watching/playing new stuff. Here's most of the stuff I'm into!

Videogames: I usually play Japanese videogames, like visual novels and RPGMakers, and sometimes horror games. Lately, I've been playing a lot of yuri VNs. If you like a game that belongs to these genres, chances are I've played it/it's on my to play list already :> I like mystery games the most!

Some games I like are: Higurashi, Ace Attorney, Witch's Heart, Hundred Line, Zero Escape (most Uchikoshi games tbh), Your Turn to Die, nitrochiral BL games, Persona, Silent Hill and more.

I don't usually play multiplayer games, but I would love to do stuff like have a Stardew Valley world together. If we play anything super competitive, just know you'll have to carry me 🥹

Animanga: I like anime, but I'm not nearly as drawn to it as videogames and I'm generally a casual watcher. I like manga, but most of what I read is yuri hehe. Recommendations would be really appreciated. I also like webtoons and manhwa!

Music: I like kpop, jpop, vocaloid, shoegaze, industrial, shibuya kei, OSTs and so much more. Some artists I like are MSI, Mili, Sheena Ringo, Girls' Generation, Maretu, Huh Yunjin, Sunmi, tripleS, Red Velvet, Kikuo, and Panchiko

I want to get into more k-dramas and crime dramas, please please give me your recs and maybe we can even watch them together :o

I'd also like to learn more languages, and make my own rpgmaker/visual novel someday. I love piling on goals that I probably can't accomplish hehe

Anyway, if you find my post interesting and if we have things in common, I hope we can be friends! I don't mind reply gaps/ghosting at all and you can take as long as you need when you talk/reply to me
