2. Shaving/waxing

Some ladies have found lash extensions to be uncomfortable.

@NoManIsFaithful:
"Lashes because for what? Eyes red and weepy after an install means it’s some shi.t that shouldn’t go on your face."
4. Lace frontal/baby hair
Some ladies are simply over the lace frontals.
@justcallme_bubu:
"Edges and baby hair. It's tiring."
@heavybagofrice:
"Baby hairs that reach your eyebrows… if u have a little forehead why are u doing this. Especially in a wig just cut it more?"
@Here_Vibing_:
"Lace front wigs & we can all see the lace, we just ignore it."
5. Micro-blading
@Bamzy_tee:

These ladies find artificial nails stressful.
@Dammie__m:
"I’ve cared about most of them at some point but the idea of artificial nails has always seemed like a hassle to me. Too much work and inconvenience."
@TheKokomma:
"Faux nails is Not my cup of tea."
@born_in_a_movie:
"Getting my nails done. Like I really don’t mind having my natural nails out or just painting over them myself. Doesn’t mean I’m against manicures I’d still get them done for like a special occasion or something but it’s not something I’d really care or stress about."
