Lily’s hair drama shows that she’s never had to figure out anything herself. Living with her parents until she was 27/28 certainly didn’t help. She’s not equipped with basic life skills or emotional maturity to see beyond even minor issues and try to navigate life, help herself, like most adults do. I can see a hormonal confused adolescents obsess over their hair so helplessly as there’s the pressure to fit in at school and most teenagers don’t have the means to sort things out, but not a thirty something privileged Londoner mother. (had to include Londoner as it actually gives her easier access to a lot of services).
We’ve been in some sort of lockdown/remote working for more than a year. Lily had no events or social gatherings to attend and her job revolves around whatever she decides to film. She can only blame herself for not sorting her hair out during this pandemic. Three-four months from now, she will complain how she can’t just let her hair be as she needs to attend influencer events, and beauty is her job, and will keep on frying her hair the same way she kept mistreating her lips with putting on unnecessary makeup even at weekends.
