I went to cut and colour my hair again on Saturday. I cut my hair like two, three times a year, since I'm trying to grow it long. It was short for quite a while and I wanted to see what long hair would feel like, again.
So... At the hairdresser, I pick a dark red colour from their palette and the hair guy starts swabbing my scalp with colour paste... When he rinses it out 30 minutes later, he says, "Your hair is so thin, and there is also a bit of hair loss." I was like... :O Hair loss?? So then I was put in front of the mirror and I was so affected by what he'd just said, that I actually saw what he saw: I could see my scalp clearly under the hair, in the front.
Okay, I already know my hair is thin and when it's wet, it looks even thinner. But I have to admit that, even when it's dry, it looks so thin that I have to do a comb-over sorta hairdo... What did he have to point that out for? Of course he couldn't have known how low my self esteem is and how I tend to freak out over small things. *sighs*
But now, I think things like: "This is it, I am getting old and I have female hair loss. I might have to start using Rogaine!" Stupid, stupid hairdresser, and stupid me for even listening to him. But I do agree that my hair is too thin to grow long. I think next time, I'll just cut it shorter and let it gain some volume again.
