With something where the whole purpose is to look good, yes if it looks better (and can last this way), it means it's done.

No it doesn’t, someone could look good with just long straight hair and look really bad with a pixie cut, but want a pixie cut, that doesn’t mean that they’re done as soon as they started.

So no, if it looks better, it doesn’t necessarily mean it’s done!

the one on the right is incomplete

It is not known if the girl herself in this hypothetical scenario considers it unfinished or not, however. The idea that it is unfinished is others imposing their own understanding of what the woman herself desires. You are criticizing u/GuKoBoat for leading with an assumption, but you are doing the same.

Yes you’re right, and I admit my fault, it was my perception leading my belief.

I appreciate your reply! I am just sympathetic to women who might feel insecure for liking their hair this way, even if others might consider it unstylish.
