I'm a wee bit peeved with my hairdresser at the moment because he gave me more of a trim than I wanted. Yeah I hadn't had a haircut since January and it really did need a good inch taken off, but my hair was longer than it has been for years and I was quite enjoying it being below my shoulders again. Now it's sitting just on the shoulder and while it's fabulous - because it's impossible for A to not make my hair look fabulous - I just wish he'd held back with the scissors just a little.

I'm going to a party later and A will be there, and I will have to smile and say, 'Yes, I love it!' when really I'll be thinking, 'If only you'd kept that extra two centimeters' :~\

I could send you some of mine.
I elected to grow mine just a little - it actually hides the tops of my ears now - and then my schedule and my hairdresser's didn't coincide so I was stuck with a 7 week interval between cuts rather than the preferred 5 or the acceptable 6. Result? I really don't like my hair at the moment and I can't wait for my appointment next week.

I've never been the type to get regular trims, which is why this was only my second haircut this year! When I was a poor student I couldn't afford it, and after I moved to Melbourne I couldn't find a hairdresser I trusted to cut it properly (and more than a few have looked panic-stricken when I've walked into the salon and they've realised what they have to deal with.) Now a days it's finding the time that's the problem, although my hairdresser recently relocated his salon to my side of town so it's much easier to get to than before. I just need to write myself a note so I remember to make an appointment.

I always make an appointment at the same time as paying for the current haircut. Coming up to Christmas, I have to book up for two or three appointments at once. *is scared by evidence of efficiency*

A disappointing haircut is always, well, a disappointment. And never mind 'it'll grow' - that's later, and what matters is now!

My hair is a perpetual disappointment, alas. Sometimes it looks okay when it's just been cut and it's fairly spiky and perky, but it goes 'FLUMP' before you know it.

And these things do matter, even at my age!

But I hope you enjoy your party anyway.

It's not that disappointing because as usual A has shaped it up very nicely and it's got lots of extra bounce since all the frizzy dead ends were taken off. Plus, if there's one thing my hair does well it's grow so it shouldn't be too long before the length comes back. I think he just underestimate how much length would vanish once the curl dried out. You do need to take shrinkage onto consideration with my hair because when my curls are behaving properly they do make it look a lot short than it really is.

I didn't stay too long at the party because I had to get those blood tests done today. And have an ECG. It was very embarrassing because I had to take my top off in front of a total stranger!

Our friend Lynn -

wannabedolphin - has very curly, frizzy hair, and has in the past suffered from hairdressers who cut it to a sensible length when it was wet only to find that it curled all over her scalp like a little lamb once it dried.

Ew! to blood tests, but I hope they don't turn up any bad things. Ditto ECG, which is something I've never had. I'm on the list for a mammogram, though, and on Monday I should be - wait for it! - getting my ears syringed. (a) EWWWWW! and (b) no! This is something that only old people have! Oh, wait ...

I hope you were long enough at the party to have fun, at least.

And of course you looked fabulous. I've seen photos, and I don't believe you could look any other way.

I've had my ears syringed, while I was in my twenties. It's not that bad. Weird, but not bad and you'll be amazed at how well you'll hear after they've cleaned out all the gunk!

I've been needing to have my ears syringed annually for a few years now. I hate having it done - it's not painful or horrid or anything, just weird - but the results are fantastic.

This is reassuring. I've been using eardrops, as recommended by the doctor, and now I am SO DEAF. In both ears! There was nothing wrong with the right one before!!

Sometimes the water doesn't clear immediately, so for a few hours it may all seem worse, but when it does clear it's like everything comes into focus and you realise what you've been missing.

I think it's probably impossible for hair like yours not to look fabulous in any case!

[link] [reply]

Aw, thank you! Although if you'd seen it a few days ago in it's frizzy, untrimmed state I doubt you'd have thought that at all.

[link] [parent] [reply]

Woe! Hairdressers can be tricky to manage sometimes.

[link] [reply]

Usually I love how A manages my hair, but I just feel he went a little overboard yesterday. It still looks good, it's just a little short!
