hair
I got a hair cut today.
14 inches off. wow. I have a 10" lock of it in a plastic baggy which I may keep, or may throw out. I couldn't give up the hair for wigs or kids with cancer because I've dyed it too much, which is a shame.
Now I have a short "bob" hair style, with bangs and little "spit curls" on either side of my face. Think Louise Brooks in the 20's, except brown with blond streaks. I actually brought pictures of her with me to the stylist to get the right cut.... and the stylist did a pretty good job. There are some details to be fixed, but they can wait. Maybe I can fix them myself while styling.
I'm still not sure what to make of the short hair. Its REALLY short, at least to me. I can't pull it back at all. Also, there are bangs. BANGS. yikes.
Apparently, the last time I had hair cut above my shoulders I was eight. I still remember having chin-length hair as a small child and LONGING for hair all the way down to my waist or longer. As soon as my parents let me, I grew it out. I never went back, until today. Its hard for me to understand that I can't just grab it and twist it out of my way, or decide to be a different person for a day by piling it on top of my head. I'm kinda stuck with this style now.
I also don't know how to maintain it. I found myself buying mouse and gel and a blow dryer and a curling iron. I don't think I'll be able to get away with not brushing it in the mornings anymore... hmm. I'll have to take a picture tomorrow morning to show how it looks.
I think I'm in shock, actually.
But, I think I might like it. I think I liked the long hair better, but that could just be entropy.
