Default HAG style not fit for microNL? + VARIANCE!

So I was a pretty standard TAG, moved to LAG, and expierienced some bad variance, went back to TAG, more variance, and now plan on experimenting with the HAG style. Is this -EV to do at the low stakes?

P.S. How long can a downswing last? I've been running really bad for a year, but am still up around 400-600, half of which came from donkaments. I have friends who are very good online players, watch me play and tell me I'm just running bad and it'll go away after a while. Maybe I haven't played enough hands? Only played about 20-25K the past year, that might be it?
edit: micro NL is NL10 and NL25 to me

HAG is a myth. And typically at micro-stakes you shouldn't deviate from ABC TAG poker simply because you make the most by playing exploitative at those levels.

hyper agressive?

25k hands isn't that much. A bad run of cards can easily last 5k hands. If you catch two or three of those you have a pretty big downswing.

anyway ... it's better to play solid TAG ABC-poker in the micro stakes.
LAG comes by itself. You just see more situations where you can play profitably. There is no use in saying "well I'll start playing LAG today".
