haircuts

I used to want to do something “cool” every time I got a hair cut. I’d give the hair dresser free rein to do whatever he/she liked without giving any specific directions on what I wanted. Amazingly, my lack of preference usually yielded the same disasterous result. Somehow, the combination of my massive amounts of hair coupled to its unique (for a Chinese girl, anyway) texture with tendency towards frizz would invariably lead the hair dresser to put in an extreme number of layers, to the point where the difference between the shortest strands at the top of my head and the longest strands at the bottom was something like 6 inches.

After years of repeating the same awful experience, I suddenly realized today that I have no more desire for “cool haircuts.” I badly need a trim though, perhaps I will just order the hair dresser to cut exactly one inch off the end of my hair.
