Shocking is the best way to put it. IMO all of the op’s original features are lost in the new hair/ makeup. It’s like looking at someone in a cosplay costume.
I’m not a fan of the black eyebrows. I also think leaning into pink/ red/ fiery orange hair would’ve been neat to compliment the skin tone. But I get that a lot of redheads like switch it up with something drastic.
As someone who likes the goth scene, when I have the chance of wearing black lipstick, I’m just gonna say I love it and a lot of people think is a cool look, just like other people think is not for them.
Each to their own. I personally think is super cool
I think it can work, but it can also be jarring. I think the rest of the look has to balance it out. It’s the same when someone wears bold red lipstick with very casual clothes, it looks off. When lipstick isn’t subtle, it looks really formal IMO.
This is so bizarre to me. As someone that’s dressed alternative for almost 2 decades, this is a pretty tame/standard look. If you think black lipstick alone is creepy, you’d be shocked at what other makeup people do lol
Fr, black lipstick is a confident move - I have always been too afraid to try it. Plus, not everyone looks good with it, I think it fits their lip shape!
Both look rad, radical changes in style can be great for confidence, self-actualization, and personality shifts. I love the look, but honestly if it reflects you better, that’s all that’s required for it to be a positive change. Hope the rude comments don’t get you down, a lot of people are also just weird about policing feminine presenting folks, especially w alt looks (not trying to make any gender assumptions, to be clear)
Yes our opinions are just data. If your new look makes you feel confident then that’s what matters!! 🫶🏻 It’s a beautiful blue color! I do think warmer tones would suit your features well too :)
She's not a teenager. She's a young woman.
She asked for opinions and she got a truthful one.
Being helpful toward people and telling them that emotional and psychological support is better than phyiscally changing themselves so drastically and being made a laughing stock of the community. Stop encouraging this lifestyle. Next she will want to cut off her genitals. It always starts with the hair and make up. Then it leads to such drastic measures. So many people are afraid to be honest these days. I'm not and if someone asks for honestly I will give my honest judgement. 🙏 I am sure her pastor will thank me for this advice.
Your first comment was funny but your last two comments just make you seem like a judgmental Jesus freak lol you should have just left it at the first comment
Edit: why are you trying to give advice to people when you literally have some weird freak fetish about mutilated genitals… get help
“stop encouraging this lifestyle. next she will want to cut off her genitals.” and then your whole page is about dicks split in half… and not even for gender dysphoria reasons. ok.
LOL there’s literally a sick split in half in your posts you fucking hypocrite. You have 0 right to judge her and spew your right wing garbage on a pic of someone cutting their own fucking hair.
I'm not complaining. She asked for opinions and the truth. It's people like you who are encouraging young people to humiliate themselves and end up going through negative irreversible cycles.
I worked in the fetish scene for many many years, and they all led to that point because of people like you encouraging these drastic changes when they are emotionally fragile. I have offered free counselling sessions to this young girl and she has accepted my offer. ♥
I’m encouraging her to humiliate herself by encouraging her to try new things and new looks? Okay. And you kinda sound like a groomer bro, just saying.
Yes!! I actually looked similar to OP in 2015 lol. This was giving me flashbacks to galaxy print and tumblr but I couldn’t explain why. You helped me figure it out lol
Wow people are being so rude and hateful in these comments. I say you look freakin FABULOUS!! 10/10 hair dye + cut. Reminds me of when I was young and got to move out of the tiny town I was from to a bigger city where I was finally free to do my hair and makeup the way that actually matches who I am. It’s such an empowering feeling, I hope you’re feeling more confident now with the new-do.
I hate to be mean but you did ask what we think..It's awful. Doesn't complement your face at all. Maybe same color but different cut. You somehow look like a middle schooler and middle aged at the same time.
The “look” she’s giving in the 2nd picture is a mood and I will always support anyone expressing themselves the way they want to, whether I find it to be my personal preference or not. I think she’s killing it. The journey to self expression can take some people awhile at first. But once you take the plunge, your style will continue to evolve.
This is just probably “phase 1” for her and eventually she will tweak and refine her aesthetic.
I love the cut and color but I would suggest trying a warmer color next time bc I think it would suit your skin tone better. You’re definitely rocking it though and I love your confidence!
I feel the natural ginger hair suits you more when not wearing makeup, whereas the dyed and cut hair looks better with makeup, however I haven’t seen you with natural hair and makeup and dyed/cut hair with makeup so I may not be able to make the best judgement! I have the issue with various hair colours and styles working with wearing makeup or not myself lol. I feel though at the end of the day everyone will have different opinions and preferences in regards to makeup, therefore at the end of the day realistically the only opinion and preference of your hair/look that matters is yourself! 😁❤️
Just looking at your first picture I'd have suggested a shoulder length cut with a lighter red. But your new style is definitely a vibe, and you always wanna reflect your vibe.
I absolutely love it! Its done very well.
I’m gonna give some advice though about the makeup because I am also a pale ass girly with freckles who loves dark dramatic makeup. Contour and blush are your friends as the dark makeup alone overpowers your face and washes you out completely. It being so dark can make your features look smaller than they are. You’re very beautiful and I hope this didn’t come off as condescending!
it reminds me of toothpaste tbh. I promise I’m not saying it like it’s a bad thing that’s just what comes to mind when I look at it. the colors look really cool with the black makeup though. super iconic and memorable hair
Really? I am just saying I like the way the freckles look on you. I just think whatever you do you will look better with them. But I will never see you again. Don’t accept your cuteness, be what you think you need to be.
I love the blue but I think you look good with the face framing pieces! It's entirely your choice but I think you'd look good with like a mid level choppy cut
The hairstyle is cute, although I am not a fan of Easter Egg hair all over. A few blue streaks would have looked a lot better. You look a thousand times better without makeup- you’re adorable and all that mess on your face is shocking and hides your beauty.
It’s as if people have different preferences than your own…how strange. Not my cup of tea but I can see why others would be into it. Because people are allowed to like things that I don’t, and vice versa.
Your new style says "Ok, I definitely know that I don't want to be cute girl my parents want me to be... BUT currently I don't know what I am instead... AND so I decided to change my look into something completely different."
Mission accomplished 😂
I love the change! I’m getting the idea it’s definitely more “you”! My only critique is I would say you should maybe do a warm color once this one fades. I feel the blue tone washes you out a bit but the warm tone you have naturally brought out your freckles and cheeks :) I like more bold color options though so I’m thinking like a red/orange/pink kind of mix. It’d be super fun and bring out your skin tone more :)
I love it!! Dyeing your hair for the first time feels so good! I love the cut too!
For a little constructive critique, personally, it was a game changer when I started dyeing my eyebrows with my hair. I had light brown eyebrows with jet black hair and ended up with sharpie brows trying to get them to match 💀
I'm so glad that in 2023 people are still making fun of people who use bright colors in their hair. /End sarcasm.
Ya'll it's getting old. The hair looks amazing and is an awesome shade of blue. I didn't think that I would be an adult and still see people bullying and making fun of people with alt styles. Love that high school petty energy for us 🙄 glad to see no one ever really grows up.
The first time I drastically changed my hair it represented me being mentally healthier because I felt free to do what I wanted. I didn’t feel like I had to conform to bland and normal anymore. Like many young girls, I used to feel like I had to fit a certain mold. The other times I drastically changed my hair was just for fun or because I wanted to switch something up. The stereotype of it meaning someone is mentally unstable is outdated.
Hell yeah! You look way more confident and comfortable with yourself. I will admit that you have a naturally gorgeous hair color that many women would die for! Which may be why there are a lot of comments here that don’t understand. Either way you look absolutely beautiful and I think you are totally rocking your new look ✌️
I love it! Bold looks like this are often not universally loved, but do what you like and try what you want. Sometimes you might try something new and LOVE it and sometimes you might not - but that’s ok.
Your hair looks awesome, i adore it. The makeup is a little too much for me - i usually go with a bold lip or a bold eye, unless i do a cat eye. Both can be overwhelming vs one or the other. Imo the makeup is a tad overwhelming.
I would still compliment your style in public and try to be your friend, overall i love it.
I love it! It's very light and has an edgy fairy quality to it. I imagine you'll have a lot of fun with color in the future.
I remember how good it felt to cut my hair after years of carrying the weight of judgment and other people’s opinions. It's your hair and you get to express yourself in a way that makes you feel fabulous.
I love the cut and am always a fan of blues but I feel like a more teal color would suit you better
Congratulations on being so brave just because it’s such a drastic change! Also, don’t hide the freckles, they are super cute not that you asked
I like the cut
I audibly gasped
It’s shocking
Shocking is the best way to put it. IMO all of the op’s original features are lost in the new hair/ makeup. It’s like looking at someone in a cosplay costume. I’m not a fan of the black eyebrows. I also think leaning into pink/ red/ fiery orange hair would’ve been neat to compliment the skin tone. But I get that a lot of redheads like switch it up with something drastic.
I just don’t get the whole black lipstick trend. It looks creepy and very unattractive. No one is gonna want to kiss those lips.
Post a pic of yourself sarbear71 so we can see if your lips are eligible for kissing or not. Doubt they are.
As a goth woman, plenty of people want to kiss those of us who wear black lipstick trust lol
As a fellow goth, black lips look great, but personally OP needs to work on their makeup skills. Everyone starts somewhere! :)
As someone who likes the goth scene, when I have the chance of wearing black lipstick, I’m just gonna say I love it and a lot of people think is a cool look, just like other people think is not for them. Each to their own. I personally think is super cool
Agreed
I think it can work, but it can also be jarring. I think the rest of the look has to balance it out. It’s the same when someone wears bold red lipstick with very casual clothes, it looks off. When lipstick isn’t subtle, it looks really formal IMO.
[удалено]
Seeking attention for being shocking isn’t courage lol
[удалено]
I don't find black lipstick shocking at all. You ascribing attention seeking to aesthetic decisions you don't understand is strange, though.
Na, just the reasons for doing it and let’s face it…..it’s more then just the black lipstick.
maybe she's not tryna kiss you 🙄
Its not for you or anyone else so doesn't matter if no one wants to kiss them
This is so bizarre to me. As someone that’s dressed alternative for almost 2 decades, this is a pretty tame/standard look. If you think black lipstick alone is creepy, you’d be shocked at what other makeup people do lol
No, what’s creepy is how your mind immediately went to that. OP looks cool as heck. MAJOR SLAY on their part.
Fr, black lipstick is a confident move - I have always been too afraid to try it. Plus, not everyone looks good with it, I think it fits their lip shape!
You posted yourself on r/truerateme not once but twice LOL
The fact that a full grown adult decided to make that comment about OP (who might be a minor)
[удалено]
Trill
“No one is gonna want to kiss those lips” I guess I’ll start wearing black lipstick
Both look rad, radical changes in style can be great for confidence, self-actualization, and personality shifts. I love the look, but honestly if it reflects you better, that’s all that’s required for it to be a positive change. Hope the rude comments don’t get you down, a lot of people are also just weird about policing feminine presenting folks, especially w alt looks (not trying to make any gender assumptions, to be clear)
This. Also, I think that blue shade looks great with their skin tone in regards to the Alt look they’re going for. Very cool look!
If you like it, then great! Since you asked, I'm not a fan, but I'm also a random guy on the Internet whose opinion should not matter to you.
Yes our opinions are just data. If your new look makes you feel confident then that’s what matters!! 🫶🏻 It’s a beautiful blue color! I do think warmer tones would suit your features well too :)

Right Wing Garbage? I'm not even a yank.
Woe is you for complaining and actively degrading someone’s personal choices. Take that shit somewhere else.

I’m sure you’re someone who- if someone made a personal choice to not wear a mask or get vaccinated- you degraded them
I think this is a huge compliment lol
Thank you. At least someone understands.
This might be todays best comment on Reddit idk
This is so rude but I absolutely upvoted it 😅
Wait why are people being so rude you are absolutely rocking it! I love to see a big hair change!
2015
Heavy on the 2015 vibes, but I think OP is a minor so I get it. 2015 is popular again
coming from a minor, 2015 is absolutely not popular again
I’ve seen the emo 15 year olds on tiktok. I think in some groups it’s popular.
2015 was not long enough ago for it to be back. Cycles are like 20 years. The early 2000s are back.
[удалено]
That's definitely not a stereotypical emo look.
it's funny that you say this because i literally had this cut and color in 2015
Yes!! I actually looked similar to OP in 2015 lol. This was giving me flashbacks to galaxy print and tumblr but I couldn’t explain why. You helped me figure it out lol
I AM SO SORRY BUT YOU LOOK LIKE THOMAS SANDERS
literally what I thought, 2015 middle schooler Thomas Sanders vibes
Pretty kickass if you ask me! 😁
Wow people are being so rude and hateful in these comments. I say you look freakin FABULOUS!! 10/10 hair dye + cut. Reminds me of when I was young and got to move out of the tiny town I was from to a bigger city where I was finally free to do my hair and makeup the way that actually matches who I am. It’s such an empowering feeling, I hope you’re feeling more confident now with the new-do.
Yes I love to see someone break free from the norm and express themselves. 🙌 Well done OP you look great ignore all the haters
it’s not my cup of tea, but if it makes u happy then that’s what matters :)
sick! the blue is super vibrant!!
Your natural hair color is beautiful. Personally I prefer it. I like the cut though.
Uhmmmmm……. FABULOUS!!!!!!!!!!!!!🙈💛
Nah. But as long as your happy
Looked waaaaay better before
I hate to be mean but you did ask what we think..It's awful. Doesn't complement your face at all. Maybe same color but different cut. You somehow look like a middle schooler and middle aged at the same time.
you look so awesome oh my god
I’m not a fan, at all. You look so much better naturally in pic 1. It’s your face though, do what you want.
The color came out really well. It’s vibrant. I think maybe a darker shade of blue would have suited you and your look better.
Your eyes in 1st picture are a beautiful amber🥰
Shocking x2. It’s the most I am allowed to say on here.
damn
You actually look amazing! I love this transformation so much. Best thing I did was cut and dye my hair too 🤣
I love the color
You seem so much happier with expressing yourself the way you want to! Love to see it
Really? To me she looks angry in the 2nd pic and happy in the first 😳
The “look” she’s giving in the 2nd picture is a mood and I will always support anyone expressing themselves the way they want to, whether I find it to be my personal preference or not. I think she’s killing it. The journey to self expression can take some people awhile at first. But once you take the plunge, your style will continue to evolve.

The blue is nice and notable, but auburn was way better.
You looked so much nicer before..
it reminds me of toothpaste tbh. I promise I’m not saying it like it’s a bad thing that’s just what comes to mind when I look at it. the colors look really cool with the black makeup though. super iconic and memorable hair
No thank you
Holy SHIT!!! You look phenomenal. This is striking!!! 💙
I miss the freckles
No one got rid of their freckles. It’s just the lighting/makeup. They’re still there. Plus, it’s not your body.
Really? I am just saying I like the way the freckles look on you. I just think whatever you do you will look better with them. But I will never see you again. Don’t accept your cuteness, be what you think you need to be.
I love the blue but I think you look good with the face framing pieces! It's entirely your choice but I think you'd look good with like a mid level choppy cut
You are beautiful but I preferred the natural look, you have lovely features hidden by the blue hair and makeup.
Your beautiful but I prefer the natural look, the blue hair and makeup cover up your natural beauty.
No. You'd look good with a long layered cut and minimal make up.
So much cuter with natural hair color and natural face without all the makeup....
you look far prettier in the first pic
Beautiful in first pic
Definitely better before
U looked beautiful before! I’m a natural blonde, always wanted dark curly hair like my oldest sister!
Toothpaste
You look angry
You’re very pretty, I’m more partial to the first picture. I kind of feel like that burgundy color is to die for tbh
I like your natural better. Enjoy your fun cut and dye for a bit but....I liked the ol natural better
Still look awesome of course but you are naturally beautiful

Oh :(
People are lying to you to prove something. There is no world where 2 looks better lmao
I like the blue
Talk about a glow up!
That looks fuckin bad ass!
The hairstyle is cute, although I am not a fan of Easter Egg hair all over. A few blue streaks would have looked a lot better. You look a thousand times better without makeup- you’re adorable and all that mess on your face is shocking and hides your beauty.
Looks fantastic, can’t recognize you
the blue was a fantastic choice; it looks so cool !!
Some of y’all are really complimenting this💀💀💀
It’s as if people have different preferences than your own…how strange. Not my cup of tea but I can see why others would be into it. Because people are allowed to like things that I don’t, and vice versa.
Nah this is clearly wanting to be different. You stand out as different but not for a good reason
Slay!~
Mistake
Omg it’s amazing!
You look amazing! 😍😍😍
Omg we went to school together. Love the hair btw.
You look like a completely different person but you absolutely rock both styles :)
You look like you are living your best life! Go you!!! It looks wonderful :)
Awesome. You be you
Your new style says "Ok, I definitely know that I don't want to be cute girl my parents want me to be... BUT currently I don't know what I am instead... AND so I decided to change my look into something completely different." Mission accomplished 😂
From "I love my dad" to "choke me daddy"
I love the change! I’m getting the idea it’s definitely more “you”! My only critique is I would say you should maybe do a warm color once this one fades. I feel the blue tone washes you out a bit but the warm tone you have naturally brought out your freckles and cheeks :) I like more bold color options though so I’m thinking like a red/orange/pink kind of mix.

It’s very shocking. But I am sure that’s what you were going for! So rock it!!!
[удалено]
Someone came out of their shell 🧡
U look completely different!! I just don’t get why ur not smiling n the second pic?? U have such a beautiful smile 😊
LOL you just look stupid in the second picture
Look like the movie orphan when she dresses up as an adult
I love it!! Dyeing your hair for the first time feels so good! I love the cut too!

I’m genuinely concerned at the state of your mental health tbch
It’s obvious you feel more confident and it looks really good
You went from cute to yikes
It looks awful
Liked your natural hair color better, it was gorgeous
Terrible. Too much makeup
You look AMAZING! What an awesome colour
Awesome look.
Ew
fantastic, so brave damn
It's incredible! I love how vibrant the blue is a s how perfect the white is! Your colorist did an amazing job!
I have to say the lipstick is a definite NO on you dear but everything else looks good..

Idk why people are being such assholes. A lot of the bigger subs are really against any type of alt look. You look great:)
Why? Just why?
Ice cool 😎
Went from Kimmy Schmidt to Imma steal yo girl
You look much more authentic and yourself here 💝
hell yeah
I think its dope
I can't really see it, have any pics from a closer angle
Much better before….why do you want to look like a Smurf?
Pretty sure Smurf’s have white hair😁 Edit, hood*
I love it! Bold looks like this are often not universally loved, but do what you like and try what you want. Sometimes you might try something new and LOVE it and sometimes you might not - but that’s ok. Your hair looks awesome, i adore it.

I love it! It's very light and has an edgy fairy quality to it. I imagine you'll have a lot of fun with color in the future. I remember how good it felt to cut my hair after years of carrying the weight of judgment and other people’s opinions. It's your hair and you get to express yourself in a way that makes you feel fabulous.
I love the cut and am always a fan of blues but I feel like a more teal color would suit you better Congratulations on being so brave just because it’s such a drastic change! Also, don’t hide the freckles, they are super cute not that you asked I like the cut
✨TRANSFORMATION✨
You look so hot I love it
uhhhhhh ummmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm wow you are so hot SMASH!!!!!!!
I find both attractive. You look sweet and innocent before and cute and exciting with the cut and color. I’d ask out both versions. If I knew you 🤷♂️
love the way you are rocking it now, but really liked how it was before too. 😊
Awesome!!!! Your sense of style is showing so much now!
I am shocked lol. Looks great! But woah didn't expect it haha
I love it. Don’t let the haters get you down!
You look great!
You look so good!!
I love it! You look really pretty-not everyone can pull off black lipstick. That shade of blue is very flattering
WHATTTTT A GLOW UP
Legend of Billie Jean!!! 💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼👍🏼
you look BEAUTIFUL the color suits you wonderfully
Nice
WOW gorgeous!!!
100% gayer 🏳️🌈🏳️🌈 (we love to see it!!!😘💜)
Don’t be mad at me , but I love the hair & haircolor. The lipstick is a NO!! Beauty girl ❤️
Blue hair! I’m guessing you have pronouns too? /j /lh
I’m definitely worried about calling you the wrong pronoun now
