Hair Cut 3

I went for my hair cut again on Thursday. I didn’t give much thought to the maintenance side of short hair on the basis that it wouldn’t be there for that long. When it was long I religiously went for it cut twice a year whether it needed it or not. So I copied Roobeedoo this time and went for an asymmetrical look, a very much asymmetrical one, the first time I had it cut short was far enough. Did I mention that I’ve now gone from red to purple? I had to ask for maintenance tips since the red had really faded and apparently BRIGHT ones do. So there followed a shopping spree for colour treated hair shampoo, conditioner and some serum which have all been applied for the last two nights. The hairdresser was heard to say ... ‘You can always do this’ (light tousling with fingers) ‘for a funky look for a change from the sleek one’. Well yesterday I had a sleek top and a funky bottom and today I have a very funky everything and look like I’ve been dragged through a hedge backwards! Not too sure the sleek look is going to work out. I’ll post a picture if I can get B to take one that won’t scare small children.

Hair Cut 2

Well I went this morning and now at the back my hair is 6.5” and a little longer at the front. And I like it. My husband on the other hand is not so struck. I asked the hairdresser if she had ever had anybody cry. Apparently not and she didn’t want me to be the first. I wasn’t. She cut some off but then I was distracted by a lady who had commented on my knitting whilst I was waiting and by the time we had finished chatting and I had given her a copy of my hat pattern it was done.

I then meet a friend for lunch who was surprised but said it suited me and I can normally tell by her face it she doesn’t like something regardless of what comes out of her mouth but face and mouth seemed to concur.

I haven’t been conscious of it which is a good thing. When I washed it it did feel like there was nothing to wash but when I have had it trimmed this is when I notice it most.

Now I know my pics are generally a bit dubious but this was taken by hubby and basically the first photo does, as long as the object can be identified by anyone with a little imagniation.  If it doesn't meet this criteria a second will be taken but that's the limit.  The view is from the back because apparently I don't take a good photo from the front!

Hair Cut

I'm going for my hair cut in the morning - I normally go twice a year for a dry cut to get rid of my rats' tails to use an expression my Aunt used to use. BUT I have decided to get it cut short, well by my standards. It's currently 14" long which I consider quite short. I had about 2" off in November and had already had it cut twice this year.
So I rang and made an appointment for tomorrow and now I'm slightly panicking whether I've done the right thing. I may need a stiff drink in the morning. Sod the sun over the yard-arm stuff.
