I always had trouble showering, bc it’s boring, and I hate it, but mostly my long hair is really difficult and time consuming to wash properly. (I can’t cut it short bc I have a part time adult entertainment job, and honestly, it’s my one physical feature I’m actually kinda proud of.)

A few years ago when I was doing way worse, I’d go 1–2 weeks between full showers if I didn’t have a gig. I’d bird bath my pits, parts, & feet but not wash my hair cuz I just. couldn’t do it. Didn’t fuckin have it in me.

So one day I walked into the hairdresser down the street and asked “Do you guys do just a hair wash? Sorry if that’s a weird question” and they’re like, “Yeah, why not! No problem, is $15 ok?” I was honestly surprised it was that inexpensive, so I said “Yes please!”

For the rest of the time I lived near there, if I got a mental block against washing my hair, I’d just go to the salon. Didn’t even get it dried or anything. It was just so nice that a couple of kind ladies existed who were willing to help me deal with that problem for a very fair price and with zero judgment. Nobody ever said a word about how dirty my hair was, they just washed it and were nice to me.

I’m really grateful for them. And, I’m doing better now, which I’m also grateful for.
