This weekend I was all set to get my hair chopped off. I have had the same basic hair do for years. I want something different – something bold – something new. My problem is that I have no idea really what I want. So I did not get my hair cut because I’m not sure I want to get rid of the length – not like it’s that long but still. Once it’s gone, it’s gone. And winter is coming – so I need to be prepared. (If I’ve learned anything from The Song of Ice and Fire it’s that..;)
I was looking at the Facebook feed when a friend from high school had posted a recent picture of her and her son. I almost didn’t recognize her. Her hair was totally different than she has ever worn it before – or that I’ve seen her wear it. Now I haven’t seen her much since high school many years ago but the pictures she has posted before still have her hairstyle similar to what she wore in high school.
She has always spent a lot of time primping before leaving her house – so it’s no wonder I’ve never seen her have a bad hair day. This new style was gorgeous on her. Her other style is great, too. It’s what I think about when I think of her. This new style was modern and simple. Now I know how I want to do my hair.
We grew up in the 1980s – the decade of big hair. The taller the hair, the better. My hair has always been sort of fluffy. It is thick and there is a lot of it. I haven’t used a curling iron in years but think I may try a flat iron. I think that will help me get that sleek look for my hair, too. Now to go get my hair trimmed up – maybe even colored – to help kick off this new hair style.
