auntbijouSo... I went to get my hair cut today and ... *sigh*
Y'all know my hair has been falling out, right? I had counted myself most fortunate to have had very thick hair, so that it wasn't obvious my hair was falling out. And now that my medication dosage has been increased, it's not falling out in handfuls anymore.
However, my stylist was running her fingers through it and said, "Aw, all the curly, wavy hair that gave your hair such body is... gone."
O_O
"What???" I said, even though I had been staring at my hair gloomily the last few weeks, wondering why it was so... flat. Even my cowlick has been lacking in enthusiasm. It was awful to hear it.
"Yeah," she said, stepping back to look at it critically. "Even if I only cut off an inch, that's going to take what little curl you have left completely off."
You'd think that would have been the worst of the bad news.
After she'd cut about two, three inches off, she said, "Oh, dear."
I didn't want to know.
"You know, the hair on the sides of our head is normally thinner than what's on the back," she began cautiously.
"And?" I said, wincing.
"Well... yours is... very thin. I'm sorry. This cut I'm giving you? It's not going to lay right, and right now, no matter what I do, it isn't going to lay right." And I know she's right. She's the best stylist I've had in ages, and has given me a number of good cuts. But this time... "Tell you what, I'm going to layer it for movement, we'll wait a few weeks, and then I want you to come back and we'll see what we can do."
In all honesty, she did give me a great cut, it's just... the back is really full compared to the sides and... you know, I'm really, really tempted to get the buzz cutter and just... get rid of it all.
I can feel how thin it is now. Ugh, how depressing.
I know! I'll get a MOHAWK!!! NO MORE THIN SIDES!!! WOOT!!
Yeah, I know, I just... like to pretend.
