Male pubic hair style

After moving to a new city, I’ve been forced to try 2 new stylists in the past year.
BOTH stylists have brushed out my wavy/curly hair, looked at the ends (which of course look crazy bc they are BRUSHED OUT), and comment on how dry my hair is and how it needs repair, and then try to sell me on getting a smoothing treatment.
The first time it happened, I was legitimately considering getting the treatment because I thought I needed it, but after further investigation it would have smoothed out my hair texture (essentially a relaxer) and been damaging to the actual hair. My hometown stylist warned me against this.
I take good care of my curly hair, regular masks, Nutrafol, oils, etc. When styled properly it looks great and healthy. I don’t understand why stylists default to suggesting that I chemically smooth my hair instead of giving me a TRIM like i asked. It just seems odd to suggest to a client if they aren’t asking for straightening treatments…

Cut self trimming testicles
Hi Im 25 and was trying to trim my testicles with scissors and knicked a bit of skin and they were proper scissors. It bled a decent bit at first but I was in the shower so I was able to get a bit of toilet roll and hold it to stop the bleeding. It made me very dizzy to the point where I was struggling to stand I'm not sure if it was just because I was panicking or pain. But It stopped for a bit and I tried to stand and it started bleeding a tiny bit like a drop because I think it was a proper cut. I stood up again but I don't thinks it's bleeding any more and just looks like a knick. But is it something I should get checked out or should it be fine to let it heal. Sorry if this is the wrong thing to do I don't really know who to ask and phoning the doctors at my bit is really bad just now cause there so busy and if I'm just overreacting.

Okay, looking for some general advice here. I've never really known what to do with my hair, so most of the time I brush it out and let it go. But I haven't really liked the look it has--it's straight-ish (slight wave and frizzy) until closer to the ends where it then starts becoming really wavy. I don't know what the best way to take care of it is and looking generally on google or something it's always conflicting results.
I've been using Native shampoo/conditioner, and it makes my hair feel soft, but idk if I'm using the wrong stuff for my hair. Any suggestions?
General hair description: slightly wavy/straight-ish at the top and wavy at the bottom. Frizzy just about everywhere. I recently got it cut into layers and I've been trying different ways of styling it recently, but still has that straightish/wavy look that I've never really seen anywhere lol. It's really really thick (have been told this numerous times at the salon). Sometimes feels like it's being weighed down. I brush it in the morning (not wet) and try to let it go throughout, but it's constantly getting knotted, so I have to rebrush it so many times.

I’ve been thinking about dying my hair black. I’m a mix between scene and scene Emo in style. I have naturally dirty blonde hair (which I absolutely loathe) so I’ve been thinking about dying my hair black. Any suggestions on brands or anything i should know about it?

Hey guys, so I'm thinking of perming my hair in the near future. However, I would like to visualise how different kinds / styles of perms would look like on my face and head before deciding which type to go for. Are there any apps (or maybe TikTok filters) that enable me to do this, preferably without having to pay? Thank you!

I know you be in here and I hate you. But those girls don’t deserve to be walking around with dirty matted hair, especially since you’re essentially FORCING them to wear their natural hair and not really using protective styles. Here’s some advice, with their texture hair, wash day should be taking the whole day. Have Niyah or Liyah read this for you:
-You need to put pre-wash in the hair
-part into 4 or more sections after combing the pre-wash through
-get some decent shampoo (such as Carols daughter, Auntie Jackie’s, Mielle, Shea Moisture, hell even Mane & Tail) not the dollar tree soap
-let the shampoo actually lather up in their hair especially at the scalp, then comb through it as it’s getting washed out (do this AT LEAST twice)
-make sure you’re using warm water, not too hot not too cold.
-after all their hair is shampooed, part their hair into sections again. Get some deep conditioner from any of the brands listed above and do the same process after letting it sit for at least 30 minutes covered in shower caps or plastic bags.
-ensure you wash the conditioner with cold water and thoroughly comb through it.
-after all their hair is washed, before you put it into those ponytails, put some oil in their hair and scalp and moisturizer. Blue Magic grease still works wonders and the pink lotion that we all used in our childhoods.
There’s no reason any of your kids should look the way they do Nika. Especially since you claim you’re a stay at home mom. Yes, you’re their mom and you stay at home, but you’re lazy asf. Also, teach the oldest Liyah and Kiyah how to properly take care of themselves and then you wouldn’t have to worry about the younger ones. If you taught them how to do their hair, that’s two less heads that you have to do. Stop being a poor excuse for a mother and at least do something right. You be wanting praise for the smallest things, but it’s always BELOW the bare minimum. If you’re not gonna get their hair braided at least keep it clean.
(Side note: it’s a damn shame Sy hair be looking the way it does. You really talking about her hair long, when it’s that one part. There’s not reason all of her hair shouldn’t be able to go into a ponytail. It looks like that baby has a nappy high top fade. 😭)

Trigger warning: mention of sexual assault
This is my first ever post to Reddit and I get most of my Reddit fix from YouTube so please be patient with me if I don’t understand all the lingo or rules, thank you.
Here’s some context: I am a transgender male. Boyfriend, who we will call H, is a cisgender male. We’ve been together just over 1 year and 2 months. We were roommates before we started dating, and friends with benefits long before I moved in, though we did fall off for about a year before I moved in too. H has only ever known me as trans, I have been out for about 3/4 years now.
Last night I went to bed mad and I didn’t want to. I was triggered shortly after dinner time when H lifted up my shirt on my backside in the shared living room we have with our roommate and his gf, almost exposing my chest which I do not bind while home. He then starts to try massaging my back until his hands starts inching closer to the front of me. I did not ask him to do this. I felt an immediate panic and told him to stop but it didn’t feel like enough to actually stop him so I said very yelling like: “the reason we never have sex is because you can’t help but cross my boundaries and I barely even want you to touch me anymore.”
I can understand how this felt really harsh on him as he quickly became quiet, wouldn’t look at me, and then left to his room. We do have separate rooms as we were roommates before, I now use my room as an office for my remote customer service job and his room as an actual bedroom.
I knew that if we talked immediately that I would probably lash out again, getting mad and yelling and he would shut down but maybe even get mad himself. But we know better that at least I need some time to cool off if we’re going to have a productive conversation as I do have big feelings very often that overwhelm me and I have anger issues as well. We’ve never had a big fight where both of us are trying to get a point across. I feel like I did before in my last big relationship where I’m the only one with all the big feelings and no one wants to listen to them. The point isn’t that I want a big fight, it’s that I know eventually I need to let it out but more calmly.
So when H came out of his room after I went to partake in the devils garden on the balcony, I was expecting to sit down and talk it out. Instead he asked me to make a copy of his license for work cause I have a scanneprinter, we hugged, apologized to each other but didn’t explain why we’re were apologizing, I went to make the copies and we went on like it was a normal night. I waited for a more appropriate moment to bring it up and every time I think it’s time to speak up, H has a favor to ask, he wants me to look at the TikTok’s and Reels he sent me, and then we’re going to bed. At that point, I am fully in my head about this interaction and relationship and I haven’t said a word to him since last night except he texted me this morning complaining about his new job.
I want to give a little context why I am scared to say anything further about being triggered and lashing out. About three months ago, H was very drunk (he is an alcoholic) and after I rambled on about something, H stopped me and said something to the effect of “No one’s listening to you.” He has apologized profusely about this but I have always had the impression that if you want someone to tell the truth, talk to a toddler or a drunk. I haven’t been able to get him saying that out of my head. I’ve been told some messed up stuff about me by others but this one…hurts. So when he doesn’t start a conversation, I don’t want to talk. He doesn’t like listening to me talk. He’s blamed his ADHD and said “I never know when you’re gonna stop and my brain won’t focus” but part of me knows that’s a crock of sh*t.
Maybe while writing this post I’m realizing that it’s not worth it, but I’d like to explain that his insistent “Stims” on me (smacking, tickling, scratching, finger tracing, scratching my head and pulling my hair, pimple popping on my back, etc) are what’s crossing my boundaries. I have had a rough time with touch ever since I was 14 and was sexually assaulted. The last time I was triggered like this, my bf of the time tried to hold me from behind but his hand placement freaked me out and I had an anxiety attack; sweating, crying and dry heaving type of anxiety attack. While H never initiated without asking for consent, I’ve always wondered why consent and “keep your hands to yourself” is only important for him when he’s using his genitals.
I have repeatedly tried to explain to H that I am uncomfortable with most touch, and his stims still happen. I’ve tried to be mindful that maybe he actually can’t control it, that his extreme OCD is making him (he was diagnosed as a kid, the beginning of the relationship I had to drive with him everywhere because he kept thinking he hit people while on the road, a great example of pure O) so I tried displacement where he stims on himself, asked him to stop repeatedly and making him work through what he can do instead of stimming on me, I have tried to gentle parent his issue and nothing works. I am beginning to resent him and I don’t want to resort to violence just because he’s backed me into a corner with this issue.
I know however that when we have heart to hearts about these types of issues, he listens and tries better (he stopped smacking my thigh and went to my butt, the frequency of stims have slowed down) but after a year, I feel worn down and don’t know how to get him to talk to me now as I know if I start the conversation he will either deflect or dismiss. What should I do?
TLDR: boyfriend has trouble keeping his hands to himself, triggered my SA issues, we never talked about it, I don’t think he cares to listen. What should I do?

Anecdotes and discussion please.
My experience is that most cases when someone claims they look much younger than their age it’s exaggeration or empty flattery they took very seriously and cling to.
For example a 4’11 Asian woman in her twenties can easily be mistaken for a teenager from a distance if she makes a point of wearing infantilising clothing. But that doesn’t mean she genuinely looks like a 16 year old, not just youthful.
I remember a makeup subreddit a woman kept bragging that “I’m in my 30s and people say I look like a teenager all the time” my god it was brutal how they roasted her, people went in her post history and said “ma’am you have crows feet and deep laugh lines, stop believing flattery”.
I always found it interesting as I feel that age is something people really care about. “Don’t ask a woman her age” etc.
I remember a birthday party where a woman started ugly crying when they brought out a cake with her age on it.
It affects us all… men I think have it rough as hair loss can age you massively.
It’s only now that I’ve gotten older that I realised a lot of the horseshoe hair pattern guys that I wrote off as “fat older guys” when I was a teen are often only in their late 20s or early 30s, some unfortunate guys earlier.
Women in my experience age better if they are a bit plump, round faces hide a lot of ageing.
A lot of it has to do with style, there was a viral tiktok showing how aged many female celebrities look if they had their hair cut and styled like the golden girls and wore frumpy clothing.

So every time I’ve gone to write out a post I end up with a book. Not really sure what kind of help I want to ask for. I know my hair is damaged. I don’t know the cause or why it continues to get worse. I know you can’t repair it. I believe my water softener is the root cause of my issues. Over salted, drying out. I had healthy hair when I moved to this house coming from hard water. Soft water may be turning my hair wavy in the middle of whatever else is happening. I’m going to post my last question below and go for wave help. I have been seeing a dermatologist for more than a year. She is zero help with the quality of my hair. Says their focus is the scalp. I have no deficiencies in blood work with pcp.
Help! Can someone give me a recommendation to help my newly want to be wavy hair reach some potential ?
I’m looking for a super simple basic routine or product that can maybe help the rest of the hair follow suit. It’s a train wreck.
I do have other issues going on . I don’t know the cause. Last March I was diagnosed with TF which I still continue to have heavy sheds that last about two months , every couple of months. Thought to be brought on by Covid. My hair was massively!!!!! Thick before this started. I feel like I’ve lost 10 heads worth of hair. Anyhow , so I do have heaps of thinning.
Not related to this issue is horrible breakage. This started when I moved in to a new home early 2022. I think it’s the water .. or sensitivity to water softener I don’t know have not figured it out yet. But my hair , slow at first , but especially over the last five months has turned sooooo brittle frizzy. I cut it short in January. That’s when the wavy really started showing thru. I thought maybe due to getting used to soft water , mixed wihh th thinning hair.
For the last 6 years I do not heat styling , only air drying. Up until this January. I’ve tried blow drying maybe 5 times . Maybe that is why it’s getting worse , who knows. The only product I’ve found that doesn’t leave me a grease ball is it’s a 10 light. For whatever reason my roots stay damp all day long, hence the reason for wanting to blow dry
I won’t use oils , I hate hate hate greasy feelings on my hands . I touch my hair a lot thru the day. I know that’s bad. I have SD so washing with conditioner only is not a priority for me.
In April I tried :
Curl talk bond building shampoo / conditioner Wow!! My hair was sooo wavy when I got out of the shower . But , Dried mostly straight. (Used the blue suave before hand) Next wash., Curl talk shampoo condish w/ curlsmith hold me softly balm. - this actually seemed to take the wave out. Also on the second wash with this shampoo, it was very wavxy. My hair seemed to dry faster with this product though
Briogio farewell frizz milky leave in - grease ball.
Around this time last year I tried herbal essence foam . It left me with sticky knots and seemed to do more damage than good. I’ve been too scared to try gel.
My normal routine is :
I wash 3x a week and air dry my hair . I sometimes use “as seen on tv” microfiber twist from Walmart vs hand towel to prayer dry, but don’t really see a difference between the two. (Open to suggestions to microfiber towels also! I really liked the ones from target but they had a really bad smell) Although my hair has become extremely dry, I become a grease ball easily and do not like any kind of oils or filmy type product. I am sensitive to heavy fragrance. I use Pantene shampoo / condition restore blue bottle (hate it but it’s the less of all evils) . Some days I use ketoconazole 2% script (adding to the dryness the last couple of months) . Every now and then I’ll use don’t despair hair repair conditioner. The last almost 2 years I’ve been living with a water softener which I think is turning my hair wavy. I’ve had issues with the unit, I think it is over salting and drying things out.
As of lately my hair never “settles” and gets soft anymore after it dries the next day. . My hair seems to have most damage about 4 inches long, from eyes to chin. This area of hair never looks /feels / settles normal anymore as of the last 5 months. I did have highlights in dec 2022. This is also the point at which it is breaking off. That area is very stiff and the “wave” looks extremely funny in that area as it’s a big poof ball of shorter hair sticking out.
I’m looking for something simple that can either help settle and take the partial wave and frizz out or something to embrace it.
Thank you for reading me

Scroll to (photos) and look for the woman in the Navy dress and blonde hair next to the male in white shirt and tie, click on THAT photo, and scroll the photos within that picture and notice the employees.
Do you see a multi-generational workforce? I don't see anyone in there middle age. I can't call anyone in HR to ask them if that have a multi-generational workforce or if they would hire someone older than those photos.
Also, if you feel like it, can you glance at their reviews and tell me your impression for the call-center, customer service jobs.

Hello! I grow my hair for about 6 years and never cut any length. About month ago after reading about split ends etc. decided ask hairdresser and they said that cut is necessary. Decided to do this and now looking for any confirmation if it was worth it. I may feel like brushing and styling is a bit easier but not sure if it's not a placebo and way to explain my decision. I read that cutting ends is good for hair, but I'm still not sure. Google said that hair grow about 5 inches per year so in my case I lost about 4-5 months of progress.
Edit: I also don't know if I prefer when they were like "irregular" or now, when they are "straightly" cut.
