Hair depression
Have you ever been at that point where your hair needs to be cut/trimmed SO badly that you can't even style it anymore? Nothing works, not even the strongest most super-hold gels, sprays, glues...nothing at all =( Welcome to my hair 75% of the time. I don't think my hair has ever been as bad as it was before last night...the curliest, fluffiest, most nastwirey grossness. I've seriously been embarassed to leave the house.
Matt Finn came to the rescue, and today all is well. I can function again, I feel like a new person! Seriously. My hair has been trimmed and re-colored (No more pink highlights, thanks Andy...) and is back to its rare managable state. Not only that, but I learned something new last night: how to blow dry and flat-iron! Those two lessons may very well save me if I ever let my hair get out of control again... Seriously though, I did not realize I could do something new with my hair.
Now, in all seriousness, I think hair depression is, on some level, a legitimate condition. I'm not lying when I say I really didnt want to go out because of it...I couldnt bring my friends down like that. It felt like I wasnt myself! When I did go places, I was constantly worried about the nastiness of my hair and I could not focus on anything else. I felt like the rest of me looked like shit because of it. And yes, i shower regularly, smartass.
As my friends, I'm asking you...don't EVER let me grow my hair that nasty again. In my hour of need, remind me that a straightener can help.
For those of you who were seen with me in public during this painful time in my life, I owe ya one.
And for those of you who are reading this and thinking "Wow, you are one superficial asshole..." I hope you find the strength to look for beauty beyond the surface. Otherwise, don't look in the mirror.
*Sigh of relief*
