I Cut My Hair

I suppose only girls blog about this kind of thing. Or guys if they've shaved themselves bald or something. Even vain guys won't blog about this. They'll just take lots of 360 degree pics and post them up on their Facebook walls.

So I'm blogging about this because I don't know what to blog about. Apparently my current hairdresser and her employee have very different ideas on what '2 inches shorter' means. The last time I cut which was around CNY had me coming out with my hair looking hardly any different from before, and my room mate had to be told that I've already had a haircut. She was asking me when I was going to cut my hair (as I had been rambling on about that for a very long time), and I told her that it has already been cut.

So this time, '2 inches shorter' meant the most unobservant among my friends could spot the fact that I just cut my hair some 30 - 50 meters away. I guess the thing that made it obvious was the extensive layering that was done to it. And after the cut was finished I could see mounds of my hair on the floor. So it's nominally shoulder length now, but curling up at the ends because it's a bit thin and layered. I feel weird about it, but every one else has been assuring me it looks OK. (And Jon prefers it this way.) And it makes me look years younger than before. I don't know how to feel about that as I'm already looking a bit too young for my age.

Hmm. There are two things that I've felt like I wanted to try doing to my hair but haven't the guts to do it yet.
1. Dye it
2. Curl it (a bit)

But so far I'm ok with straight middle-length hair so I guess I'll be sticking to my safety zone for a long time.
