About my hair

I have been to have my hair cut tonight. I like to keep it really short. Apparently I am lucky to have the right shaped face for short hair - which is good because if I didn't I would have to choose an actual style. While what I get is just really short hair. Just above the line where they would use clippers.

If I needed to have an actual shape to my hair I am not sure what I would do. Shape would require styling, and as I often go to bed with wet hair the only styling I do is trying to make it stick a bit closer to my head, and look a bit less like I went to bed with wet hair. Which I did. But no-one else should have to know.

Because it is so short I don't dye or colour it. The coloured bits would be cut off in 8 to 10 weeks, which is too expensive. I'm too tight to see my expensive coloured hair lying on the floor so soon after I have paid the bill.

On the shopping front, my parcel from fishpond is on its way, and we nearly have enough points on the loyalty system to buy a very cool digital camera. Fabulous.

I've been thinking about my hair a lot recently. Mostly 'cause after the wedding I intend to lop it off and stop having "long hair". Long hair is not a style for me. My hair is just long, straight and shiny. That is just what it does. I only really wear it 2 ways, in a braid or in a clip. It is too heavy to have a pony tail, plus the length of it means it tends to get tangled up. I wish it was shorter so that it would actually dry overnight when I go to bed.

Wow that is a lot of hair. When mine was very long I always kept it in a braid at night so it didn't get tangled, but like you say it would never dry... When I cut my bum length hair off I didn't find it was any easier to style - when hair is that long gravity is the only styling aid that has any effect on the stuff. Short hair can easily head in any direction it feels like. My head was definitely lighter without it all. And I lost all the hair too tight headaches.
