haircut

I have somewhat long, for the most part curly hair. At this point in my life I can not stand to have it in my face. If I cut it short, I look like a poodle or a Q-tip. And then it's also in my face. Having it long, I can pull it back but I feel like it's just such a mess. All I do with it is a messy bun or quick braid. And washing it takes so much out of me on those days. Part of me wants to shave my head but I know I will be so much colder. Maybe a mohawk?? Sigh.

I’m getting my hair cut tomorrow. I chose a new hairdresser because I don’t want to tell my lie to one who already knows me. My lie is this: My bangs—which are now short, uneven, thin, awful—are this way because I let my daughter cut them. The truth is that I’ve pulled so much hair from them that they look ridiculous to me. They’re much too short for the rest of my hair. I’m so embarrassed.

I’ve been dreading getting a haircut, but I have to do it. So I’ve got my story, I’ve got some random hairdresser lined up, and I’m just going to go.
