I haven't done any of these. But I buy 10 times more stuff than what I can use, so I often slap on something knowing that it has been sitting in my drawer for 5 years. :/

I'm definitely a dry shampoo fiend. I'll put off washing my hair until a night I can let it air dry, as I hate how dry and puffy it looks when I use a hair dryer haha

I have extremely tangle-prone hair. If I have been extremely unwell and spent extra time in bed, the knots have become so severe that I've had to cut a few of them out (I was too unwell to get to a hairdresser). I do not think that women should feel guilty about not waxing/shaving in the colder months. Nobody sees your legs in Winter.

Having knotty hair and thinking to myself: "this is too hard". So I will just put it up in a 'messy bun' and try to pull off the boho look. For at least three days in a row until my scalp gets itchy. I have dreds going right now.
