Hair woes.

[superbadgirl]

I've been delaying making a hair appointment for a couple of reasons. Highest on the list is that I wasn't happy with the last cut, or rather my inability to style the last cut. Because of the bad experience last time, I'm nervous. I always stress that a style has to be easy and doable for an idiot like me, and if the hair stylist doesn't listen even just once I get worried. And this is how I end up with straight long hair all the time, btw. One or two bad cuts scare me into never going back.

So I hemmed and hawed and just called now. T is going on vacation, and they can't get me in until 7/12. I'm already a shaggy monster. I'm gonna look awful by then. Really and truly. And with no guarantees I'll look any better once I've been cleaned up and trimmed...

Wah, right? ;)

I've had a lot of people tell me how much they like my really long hair. I just smile and nod. The thing is the length really is just about indecision, not, you know, any kind of style statement! I am with 100% about hinky stylists. I literally have not been to one in years. But since I'm starting a new job soon seem like I should spiffy up. I'll be shopping around for a new stylist soon. Good luck to us both!

Part of it is that he likes to experiment, so he's not interested in giving me the same haircut every time. No matter how good a stylist is, there is a greater chance of fucking up when he's constantly changing it up.

I don't mind change, really, as long as I can style it myself, and with minimal effort. To me, standing with a flat iron trying to make the flippiness stop flipping is too much work. Plus, if I succeed it is only for a little while. Five minutes, I've timed, where my hair looks smooth and flat and un-flippy. After that? Flippity do-dah!

For you, I'd suggest finding someone content with simple styling, and letting you keep said simple style for more than two haircuts. :)

Sigh, such drama about the follicles.
