Haircut

[woodface]

Remember how annoyed I was at my last haircut? How it looked completely shite and I hated it with a vengenance? Yeah well, my hairdresser just outdone herself. She turned an order to "thin it out" and maybe cut the edges a bit into "leave the bottom long, make the top real short and give her a frakking FRINGE".

A FRINGE? DO YOU KNOW WHAT FRINGES DO WITH CURLY HAIR? DO YOU?

*bangs head on desk* Someone hand me a paperbag so I can hide for the next few weeks. Shit shit shit. I've done the fringe when I was a kid and in high school. It's a nightmare. You get this real ugly glob of a curl on your forehead, it sticks all ways and looks like it exploded and it's horrible. And now, after years of going fringeless and pushing my hair back behind my ears (which I adore), she all of a sudden without any warning gives me a fringe. I did not ask for a fringe. I asked to get my hair thinned, not to look like some runaway bozo from the early 80s.

*weeps bitter tears*

ETA: And why the hell is my webspace saying my banner isn't there when I'm 100% sure that it is?

{Hugs} As one with very thick and curly hair, I've always been afraid of getting the too short haircut and turning into Little Orphan Annie.

I'll be sending you 'grow out quick' vibes :)

I can not tell you how much I loathe this particular grow out stage. Holy frak, what made her come up with this idea? I haven't managed fringes in years, she should know this. I entered the room fringeless and I'm pretty sure my forehead didn't say "gimme a fringe".

*weeps on your shoulder*

Oh hun! I like my hair on the long side of short. Too short and it makes my face look fat. I go to the same hairdressers and I try and get the same stylist. Been going there for years. One day this twit decides to go against everything that I've had in the past. The other time I went in and the guy commented on my centre parting, stating that side partings were in. I said I was happy with my parting as is. He cut my hair unevenly so I had to wear a side parting until it grew out enough.

Hairdressers can suck, 'cause when they screw up, they screw up big!

Big {{hugs}}. And lots of positive thoughts for your hair and bad ones for the idiot who did this.

Ugh. This is why I gave up on haircuts, and just shave the whole head to the same length every month or so.

Though this probably isn't a solution for you.

Erm... there's always hats?

[woodface]

See, we've been going to the same hairdresser for ages. She stopped her practice years ago but still cuts for certain people because they're friends. It's just, sometimes she really gets distracted and I think this was one of those times and it blows. I'm thinking of just going elsewhere because it's the second time in a row and this is making me really unhappy.

*snuggles* Thanks.

I did the really short hair, but I have a friend who will kill me if I go for that. Then again, this is really bad.

Hrmph.

[sideofzen.livejournal.com]

Sounds like it's time to switch hairdressers.

[woodface]

Yeah, I think so too. *sighs*

[lyssie.livejournal.com]

Ack. *snuggles* I vote: go for a different hairdresser next time.

[woodface]

Yeah. *sighs*

GHD ceramic straighteners. I swear I think God Herself invented them! They have saved many a bad hair cut for me.

[woodface]

*looks completely clueless*

[fried-flamingo.livejournal.com]

Ah, my young padawan I have so much to teach you ;)

They are straightening irons made of ceramic that smooth your hair and turn it into a vision of sleek loveliness. The GHD ones are about £80 an excellent investment) and you can buy them online but any electrical store will sell cheaper ones that are nearly as good. Dude, seriously, they are the most wonderful things ever invented!

[woodface]

Don't they also completely frell up your hair?

[fried-flamingo.livejournal.com]

No more than blow drying and you can get conditioning sprays to spray on right before you apply the straighteners that protects your hair.

Use them in moderation and your hair will be fine. It'll make your fringe sleek and sexy ;)

[woodface]

ZOMG, I don't blow dry!

Hrm, this all sounds girly. *looks torn*

[fried-flamingo.livejournal.com]

LOL! In that case my alternative advice is HATS! heehee

[woodface]

Bwah, nice impression on a job interview ;oP

*g* But thanks.

*geeks out at icon* That game was too cute.

[diannelamerc.livejournal.com]

Wasn't it though? I heard they've added at least one more 'patient', but haven't been back in a while...

[woodface]

Hmmm, I played it not that long ago. Might have to check.

[woodface]

*eyes icon* That's so not what I selected.

[alliesings.livejournal.com]

I priced straighteners today (inspired by my own recent haircut) and there is even one that you can use without blowdrying first. I've always been pretty much against blowdryers, but I had to blowdry my fringe for several months, and I don't think it did permanent damage.

But *knuffles* for the hair thing because having to grow that out is going to be a real bummer.

[woodface]

Basically, I don't blowdry because I'm too lazy and because no one in this household does it and I don't see the point anyway.

Oh man, is it ever. *sighs and knuffels back*

[alliesings.livejournal.com]

I'm way too lazy to spend time on my hair. My best friend asked me why I don't try new hairstyles, and I avoided answering her outright because I was so embarassed.

Maybe you should stop going to a hairdresser and let it grow veeeery long :)
O, en aangezien we beiden al een tijd werkloos zijn, zouden we nu toch es moeten afspreken, vind je ook niet?

Ugh. No thanks.

Hmm ja, waarschijnlijk wel.
