One of the hardest things for me to deal with regarding how my body has changed due to The Hash&trade is the havoc it's wreaked on my hair.
My hair used to be very important to me. I would spend a great deal of money to have it cut and colored. I wouldn't think twice about dropping a wad of cash on products to keep it healthy and full of shine.
Oh, the shine. It was so very important to me.
I had pretty hair. It was thick, smooth and very straight. I loved to get cute, stylish cuts. I loved my hair, I really did.
Until I started losing it. And it became course and dull and FRIZZY.
I took that the night before I was supposed to get it cut by MY STYLIST.
You see, I had an appointment scheduled with My Stylist on Tuesday at 10:30. I was so excited. I was going to cut it all off and get a fresh new look! But, here's the thing. Somehow, between the time I woke up in the morning, to the time it was supposed to leave for my appointment, I FORGOT ABOUT IT.
I realized around noon that I had missed the appointment and felt all desperate inside, so I went online and googled "hair salons in my city" and found one that had 5 reviews and they were all very positive! People said things like "I love the atmosphere and all of the girls do great work!"
So I called and asked if there was someone who could take me as a walk in and they said "yes! come on in!"
I walked in all hopeful because FIVE AWESOME REVIEWS!! I walked out hopeful still because although I wasn't too happy with what I saw, I thought "surely, it's just the way that she styled it! Nothing that can't be fixed with a thick round brush!"
Riiiiiiiiiiight.
I tried. The Lord knows that I tried, but I couldn't get the cut to make any sense at all. Basically, it's like two different cuts on one head of hair. Or something like that, I don't know, I CAN'T EXPLAIN IT, so, let me just go ahead and show you.
That is the part that I tried to fix, because WHAT IS THAT? HELP ME UNDERSTAND, INTERNET.
Again. WHAT.THE.HELL?
It's like she took the scissors and cut one layer at the top, added a little fringe and said "that'll be $40, please."
I'm trying to find the positives to having a Cut That Makes No Sense.
Hey! At least I can still wear it up!
Or! If I want to get really crazazy, I can do a Faux Bob.
I know that "it's just hair" and "it will grow back!" But I just wish I hadn't let her cut so much off because, what if it takes FOREVER to grow back, with the hashimotos and all? (There. I said it. I'm afraid it won't grow back.) I probably should just go have the "party in the back" cut off and get a cute short 'do, but the ROUNDNESS of my face is stopping me from doing that.
Maybe I'll just go buy a fancy Banana Clip from Target and wear it up in style for the next 6 months while I wait for it to grow out.
*edited to add*
I think The IDEA of the style is great. It's just poorly executed. I think I may do whatWhoorl suggested and go back to my stylist and have her blend the layers. That just may work (and if it doesn't. I'm totally chopping it off). Man, it sure is going to suck having to face her and admit that I cheated on her.















Make an appointment with YOUR stylist, and have her texturize those layers so they blend better with the overall length. It will look great!
You still have gorgeous hair, Y. (Though, WTF, 5-star stylist?!)
