Autism obsession

Post Reply New Topic

I have an obsession with my hair.

It has to look "right". It can only curl a certain way or it makes me extremely uncomfortable. I've straightened my hair almost every day for the past 2-3 years and it's in such bad condition that I tried to permanently dye my hair with my regular hair dye and but this time my hair is so dry that the dye just washed out within a couple of days.

Also, my hair is naturally very curly. My mother used to call them "ringlets" but I disliked my hair so much I burnt it with the straighteners and now it will never go curly again.

My hair is such an obsession that it makes me extremely anxious if it does not look right. I will repeatedly straighten it again and again until it looks right. 100% of the time it's already burned at that point. Often I straighten it so much that it burns and so I have to rewash my hair.

Please stop burning your hair.

Many people happen to think curly/wavy-haired people are really attractive.

Shirley Temple would not have been a big star if her hair was straight.
