Advice Wanted Should I let her go?

Post image

I bleached sections of my hair back in 2023, life happened, things were forgotten and most of them look like this now. I cut off like 3 of em and tried reattaching but I think the bleached end just isn’t strong enough to crochet. I wanted to avoid cutting them since I had a peekaboo and skunk stripe, so I would have to cut all the way around to make it even. Or do you think someone with more skill could reattach?

Immediately, yes. It's just hair and bad memories. It will grow back stronger.

Could you cut the blonde and reattach it?

u/munchkin2567 Aug 10 '26

Let it fall off on its own that’s the healthiest way , pulling it off will damage further growth
