Ever since my aunt compared me to a man because of my hair and my brother agreed with her I hate my hair. When I wash it and get out of the shower I have to look in the mirror because I comb it.

My hatred of my hair makes me feel like when I wear makeup i look like a man in drag. There have been times when I look in the mirror and tell myself I look like a man and cuss myself out while doing so.

Don't listen to those people!

You look like a woman to me! Always have!

^He is right, long flowing hair is traditionally very feminine.

Maybe it was a not-so-clever way of suggesting that you get a sophisticated hair cut?

If anything, I think not washing your hair is what could make it look somewhat masculine. After all, men are expected to be much more comfortable than women being filthy :twisted:

She made the comment after I washed my hair. I hate being filthy.

I've never seen you as anything but feminine.
