Vanity, thy name is vanity...

...OK, maybe going without setting foot in a hair-cutting/styling type place of any sort since the Clinton administration is a kind of perverse anti-vanity. But it's so easy to keep putting it off...well, I did get a haircut today. Now it's upper-back instead of nearly-to-the-ass, and it's layered a little and has body and stuff. Wow. Most importantly, the dead ends are gone.

I always tip nearly 100% on my cheap-ass Supercuts jobs, because my hair is a pain in the ass to work with. Not only was it pioneer/pentecostal long, it's baby-pubes fine. It "cobwebs," which means it sticks to itself and tangles instantly. It's very snarly. It's slippery. The poor lady trying to wrangle with it actually cut herself on a strand of it. It also breaks easily. Also, according to her, I can't have bangs because my forehead's too small. That's fine. She knows what she's doing, I don't.

Yay, big improvement! I just want combing it to hurt less and require less lube.

Wow, can't wait to see it!

I know the woes of troublesome hair, oh yes, and I refuse cuttings for years because I dread what people want to do with it - they often think "oh here, just try this hair product and let's blowdry it". Once or twice, I've let them do what they want just to have the satisfaction of their apology for making such a disaster of it. It's hard for them to think that we, who live with our hair, know our hair better than a trained stylist does.

It's not that dramatic, really.

Hee, I'm kind of the opposite - I'm pretty subby in the stylist's chair, I figured she's spent a lot of more time studying hair than I have so, I'm like, whatever. It's almost guaranteed to be an improvement over its past long-neglected state, whatever I wind up with. :D

I still recall with amusement the time you came back to campus with your Sínead O'Connor do and caught the eye of every womon on the Softball League. ;)

And next time I am within daytrip-distance of your locale, I really do need to look you up!

Hee, and when it grew into a sort of rockabilly pompadour it drew 'em even more. XD

You DO, stranger, you DO. I've missed you so much!

It is indescribably difficult for reasons I don't wholly fathom to get ~anywhere~ when I am doing a show. But I'll PM you my phone # (cell) so you can get hold of me if you need to in a pinch. :)
