Well, I’ve had my share of…I’ll say interesting hair cuts. My family was in the hairdressing business. My mom, both of her sisters, my uncle and two of my cousins owned their own salons. For being old as dirt…lol…I’ve only had five hairdressers in my entire life, so far. I dread having to find a new one…always iffy.
When I was little my mom always gave me a pixie cut. I didn’t know any better not to like it…then. It grew out and I was wearing it to about my shoulders. I remember, one time, when I went to “the shop” as we called it…after school…I was in second grade…Mom wanted to wash my hair…when she took me to the sink before she began to shampoo…hope this dun gross ya out…she discovered head lice. Told ya it was gross …but not uncommon, then, anyways. She, of course, immediately freaked out! Said we’d have to cut it off…couldn’t deal with it…too difficult to try to remove 'em from longer hair. I cried/screamed bloody murder and put up a fight 'cause I didn’t want her to cut it off. Mama was quick with her hands…grabbed my hair in a hunk and chopped it off in one motion! It was a scene. I cried and screamed for an hour. Back to the pixie!
Y’all are probably too young to remember when Vidal Sassoon first introduced his very mod styles, I had one of thoses too…lol. Heavy bangs, shorter in the back and angled down to the chin. Actually it’s very similar to what’s in style now, with or without the bangs. When I was about 15/16 I let it grow long, very long…only cut it a few years ago. Never did the Farah Fawcett thing, though, as I don’t like layers. It’s funny ‘cause, with my mom owning a salon, I had every opportunity to do…only God knows what to my hair…and what did I do? Nothing. Jus’ not my thing. Make-up? Now were talkin’…that’s my thing. I’ve never even colored my hair…still don’t. No need. People would/do ask me, “What do you do to your hair?” It ain’t what I do to it…it’s what I don’t do to it. I still don’t do anything to it…lol. I hate being a slave to anything. Though I do have a bane, or two, of my existence…fer sure.
Anyways jus’ thought I’d share a little of my hairstory, too.
Don’t have any pictures cause it was a long time ago. But, I used to wear my hair brushed straight back without a part. My hair was getting a bit long, unmanagable and starting to want to part itself, so I stopped in for a haircut at a salon that I had never been to before, but I’d never found a salon or stylist that I was really happy with anyway. So the stylist starts hacking away at my hair and I guess she decided, well hell I don’t know what she decided, but when I got a look in the mirror the hair on top of my head was swirly! I grabbed the brush from her hand and tried to unswirl it as best I could, but regardless of what I tried to do it still looked like crap. For the next month or so I looked like I’d stuck my head in a lawmower.
lol! you’re so bad! but yea, I hated my hair, (lol! my mom didn’t miss my face, I just blanked it off, cause I didn’t want to hijack kitten’s journal!)
C’mon! you’re hairdo doesn’t look all that bad! I actually saw a girls this week in my school with that hairstyle!
Thank you sigh I really was! now I’m chickening out to I’ll take it off lol.
Yes, I tried to look girly. My hair wasn’t really all that curly, does put leave-in-conditioner and ta-da you’ve got some wavy/curly hair!
Well, let me reassure you, the cut looked totally awful on me at least :o
For some reason, mullets are coming back into style (where I live) in the ‘alt’ crowd… Sometimes, the ‘business’ part will be a natural color or dyed black, and the ‘party’ half will be dyed something funky, like pink or orange One of my friends actually told me she wanted ‘a really hardcore mullet, the longest ever’ LOL.
Totally up to you sweetie, but I liked it. If you put it back I’ll be . But if you don’t want to, I’ll still be . And this journal needs moooore pictures in it, in my opinion. Anyone who wants to post them, plz do!
Aw Bella! You went to all that trouble to grow it out all pretty and mom goes and cuts if off cause of a few bugs that some other kid passed on to you. How totally totally unfair.
But since then you’ve been able to have it as long as you want. Hurray!
Kitten
lol! you’re so nice! well, now I don’t have the pic with the black thingie on my face. So here it goes…My whole entire face lol I’ll put it back just for kitten lol! Btw: I was making a face, I usually don’t look retarded otherwise lol!
ahhh i was gone for awhile (so so busy with research, they work me like a dog ) and there u are with a new haircut! and all those cute little drawings by tealeaves!
at least ur date liked it, u know? and im sure it’ll grow out into a style that ud like soon
if it makes u feel any better, when i was younger, my mom insisted that i kept my hair short like a boy because she thought it was cute. everybody made fun of me and said that i was a boy
That’s almost… cruel… What a terrible way to give a little girl a hair cut… When I was very little, I did get head lice once… while I was reading quietly, a little snub-nosed girl walked over, rubbed her head against mine, and proudly announced that she had given me lice My mother washed my tush-length hair every night with a special shampoo and a tiny comb until I was free of the little buggers. The things I learn to appreciate! Gotta call her up and thank her Better late than never, I guess.
Aw! A mom strikes again!
Don’t worry Remmy. No one could make that mistake now You’re hot stuff, and you have gorgeous hair! I’m jealous.
Hmm, come to think… my mother used to scare me by saying that flies would lay eggs in my hair and eat my scalp, or that my hair would get stuck in something and it would take my whole head off if I wasn’t careful. She even told me stories about “people she once knew”… LOL I bet she had a good laugh afterwards
Okay Thats prolly enough self indulgence for me with the hairdo theme. But I loooove everyone’s responses. Feel free to post more if you want. Isn’t it interesting how we all had similar things happen? The short cuts by mom. The bad cuts later on…
I am currently working on two mini projects: 1. My report for you on Why We Love, particularly how the info on dopamine, serotonin, oxytocin, vasopressin, and norepinephrine could apply to pheromone usage. 2. Testing my new combo, which I’m calling the Get Out of Jail mix (no, I am not in jail ).
omg. that commercial was so hott. at first i thought it was a cologne commercial.. then they started getting nakey and i was like oooo then it got yummy so i was like..ugh i want to eat that and wooow
Hi Kitten! OMG, the haircut posts have me cracking up! I am not as brave as Selva to post a pic (even though she still looked gorgeous!) My worst haircut was actually two weeks before prom, it looked like a spaceship, seriously! That is the last time I ever let a “friend” cut my hair. She totally misunderstood the meaning of layers! :o
