Why are alternative milks only in small bottles?

Seriously!!! Cow tit secretions come in all fookin sizes, but then alternative milks only come in 1L bottles??? Why?? Surely alternative milks are popularised enough to sell them in larger sizes. It’s so annoying having to buy heaps of 1L bottles of soy milk. Bring the big soy milk bottles in 😭

Help! Hair thinning and massive texture change. I just wanna cry 😢

Hi guys, I’d really appreciate some advice/opinions because I’ve been so confused and upset about my hair lately. I just feel like crying…

I used to have long blonde hair that was naturally thick and curly/wavy (photos included). At the start of 2025, I decided I wanted a big change, so I dyed it dark brown and got a wolf cut/shag. My hairdresser thinned my hair quite a bit to suit the style. I’ve included photos from when I first got it done.

By mid-2025, I told my hairdresser I didn’t want any more thinning done and just wanted the cut maintained. Later in the year, I also asked to stop cutting the sides shorter because I wanted to start growing the style out. Right before Christmas I cut the length to my shoulders, and since then I’ve only had a fringe trim while growing it out.

Throughout this whole time, I’ve still been getting my roots touched up every 8–12 weeks.

The issue is that my hair now feels so different. It’s lost almost all of its natural wave/texture and just sits flat and limp. I also feel like it’s thinning. Every hair wash seems to involve a lot of hair fall (at least compared to what I used to experience). I actually brought this up to my hairdresser last year, but she said she didn’t think my hair was thinner, so I tried to convince myself I was just hyper-fixating.

But the last couple of weeks I’ve started really freaking out. I’ve included current photos — yes, I’m lifting my hair up, but I’ve never been able to see my scalp like that before. My fringe also feels noticeably thinner than it used to.

I genuinely don’t know what’s happening, both with the texture change and the possible thinning. Maybe I’m overthinking it, but my hair just doesn’t feel “right” anymore and it’s honestly making me want to cry. I keep going back and forth, maybe it just needs to grow out from the thinning the hairdresser did? But then I’m like no way this just doesn’t feel right..

I’ve booked a doctor’s appointment in a couple of days because I’m hoping they can run some tests to see if anything could be going on internally. I had bloodwork done at the end of last year and my general vitamin levels were apparently fine, but I still feel like something has changed.

I wanted to go back to blonde this year, but I’m scared of what that’ll do to my hair. I just wish I had never made the change at all…

EDIT: I’m 26 years old, not on birth control (and haven’t ever been)
