I got a hair cut today, had about six inches cut off. When I get a haircut I like to go drastic so I actually look different. I went in at 9 in the morning and asked for something short and flippy with a blue highlight on the side. I ended up with short, straight with warm brown and light blonde highlights.
The hairdresser basically said she wouldn’t put blue in my hair because it will look awful and she doesn’t want me telling people that she did that to my hair! Etc. I haven’t been getting a lot of sleep lately (too many consecutive late nights at the studio) so my exhaustion allowed me to be easily persuaded (and the fact that I was getting a little nervous about the blue). Also the lack of me wanting to actually maintain the cut with product dissuaded against me from the flippy part.
In the period of 3 hours I got my hair washed twice, cut, so much tinfoil put in my hair that I thought I would start attracting radio waves, the hairdresser trying to set me up with her 22 year-old son (until she found out how old I was), and the discovery that I have one gray hair growing out of my head. I also left with a big lock of hair that will go to good use in an art project or 2!
My hair is shorter, but not drastic enough to attract the kind of attention I was looking for (why I’m trying to attract attention, I’m not quite sure), and the color… not drastic enough for me to be completely happy that I paid all that money to have it colored. Oh well, perhaps next month I’ll go in and get a $7 blue extension… now that would be cool and affordable!
