:eek:
Where’s all my lovely long hair gone?
Well, ok. It wasn’t that long - just above shoulder length. And recently it hasn’t been that lovely - knots, etc. making it hard to deal with. Basically I got frustrated with it, so I went to have it cut down to size a bit - just to get it into a more managable state.
There was a… slight communication failure with the hair dresser. She thought I wanted it quite a bit shorter than I actually did, and as I’m nearly blind without my glasses I couldn’t see what she was doing. As a consequence I’ve ended up with very short hair. Not a crew cut, thank every deity I can think of and then a couple more for good measure, but Short.
It’s terrible - I keep trying to run my hands through my hair and it doesn’t work, and my head feels all bear and exposed. Every time I pass a reflective surface I think “Who is that person looking back at me?”.
That being said, it’s not all bad. It looks quite nice - not a style I would ever have chosen for myself, but not bad nonetheless. Other people seem to like it more than I do. Also it’s going to make taking care of it a dream come true, and my hair may actually be dry when I leave my room in the mornings.
Yeah… it’s a blessing. Really. Now all I have to do is deal with missing hair trauma. Do they have help groups for coping with this kind of thing?
(Just for the record, I don’t really mind that much - I just like complaining. ;))
