Splitting hairs

[teaberryblue]

Happy Pi Day! I was just excited to realize that I will be most likely alive for Pi Day when it goes to five digits!

I have been splitting hairs a lot lately.

No, literally.

I haven’t had my hair cut in a little less than a year. This is normal for me, once or twice a year is about all I cut my hair. What is abnormal for me is that I have split ends.

DOZENS of them.

They are fascinating to me, these hairs that are slowly multiplying themselves, separating like some kind of amoeba, sometimes from the ends but even more fascinatingly from their centers, so they bubble up and create strange little spaces in their middles. I keep catching them and peeling them as far as I can before they split off completely, which I know is horrible for my hair, but it is just too much fun. I’m completely mesmerized by it!

Anyway, tomorrow, I am going to get my hairs cut. I discovered that my job entitles me to a discount at Bumble & Bumble (go figure!), so I booked an appointment there, and I’m very excited about it.

I’m trying to figure out whether to get a significant haircut or not. The problem with my hair is that I have never had long hair and a genuine hair style at the same time– it’s hard to find a hairdresser, even at a curly-hair salon, who actually gives curly hair a unique style instead of just lopping off the dead bits and shaping it a little. And I don’t even really know what styles would be available, since everyone I know with long, curly hair, wears it the same– unless I cut it short, but I can’t decide if I want to do that or not. My hair is starting to go grey and I keep thinking that if I cut my hair all off now, it might be the last time in my life that I have long hair in its proper color.

I don’t know! Here is my hair now, what do you think?

I like the length of that last photo. And am very intrigued by the second ;)

I just had my hair lopped off as well :) From waist-length to just above shoulders!

Mine goes down to just below my shoulder blades right now! I think my plan is to just let the stylist play in my hair.

The second one with the snake? That was my publicity photo from when I used to write for a goth web magazine.

Good plan. :) They tend to know what they're doing! I was lucky to find a good one who shortened my hair a bit at a time, in case I chickened out, and then styled it nicely :)

Oh win! I love it :D
