If I'm doing my hair myself, I just wash it and let it naturally dry. I'm actually quite good at doing hair if I wear it up I usually do it myself.

I think it's about time people stopped judging women on their appearance and more on their intellect. Like you can appreciate my style without having to appreciate my weight. It's not actually mutually exclusive. I just get frustrated because just because I exist in this shape doesn't mean that I'm like advocating it.
