Bangs is what happens when you submit yourself to the will of a hairdresser whom you’re meeting for the first time. A few minutes and a lot of hair-on-the-floor later, she proclaims that she is going to make me look like a gudiya. When I ask her which gudiya has a fringe, she shoots back, “A Japanese one!”
To cut a long story (and some hair too!) short, I got a long-overdue haircut. My hairstylist has really cut it short. Well, shoulder length with bangs right across my eyes.. Yeah, I sure look ‘hip’. Just that I hate bangs and these are proving themselves to be a total pain-in-the-eye. No pics, guys… It is bad enough running into people who don’t recognise you and then cover up saying, “You look different!”. That, in my opinion, is the most non-committal opinion you could ever give. Good, bad, ughly…! Different? Where DOES it feature?
On the other hand, this is a good time to finally learn THE point: I am NOT my hair.
SO much for philosophy!

So you had a bad hair day at the hair dresser huh!
I have had my own bad experiences with them, especially the first few times I go to hair cutters around the place I have moved until I can settle on one.
BTW on a different note, if you guys find time this weekend (and also Friday) stop by the Georgia Dome in Atlanta to watch the FIRST Robotics competition. I would be there with my Team 111 Wildstang. So in case you find time and make it, lets see if we can meet. (Check my latest post for more details)

I can understand. I am also really senti about my hair. Everytime I go for a haircut, I have to tell her “exactly” how much to cut.
*hugs*

I had no idea how I wanted it to look… So I placed myself totally in her hands!

Different is a good enough, possibly genuine reason to not recognise someone, right?

Yes, i rather feel your hair isn’t much bothered about all this 😉

“Different” is a diplomatic way of saying:
“What the hell did you do to your hair? and you actually paid money for it!”
don’t shoot the messenger, I am just translating.
should have gotten highlights while you were at it. Would look good on you!

She seemed really enthu about doing highlights for me. Thankfully, we put it off for another trim, oops time!
I have gotten highlights before… and they looked neat!
