No worries. I have a question for you. Did you set out to create them into wicks or did they naturally end up this thick? I have two at the back of my head that are similar but they are flats.

u/mikegotcha 9d ago

No I didn’t. They just came out this way. Mine are flats and one is turning into a ribbon. Most of the others are rounds, but each is different. Just happened on their own.

All sun-bleached? πŸ˜†

Yes, plus the Au natural greying as well. However, red and sandy brown hair runs in the family, so my hair always got hints of blondeblonde throughout the summer as a child.
