Uhm, why?

Why did I think it was a good idea?

Why did I think, when I am about to come to England to see family and friends that it was a good idea to get my hair cut?

Why when I’m about to meet blog friends with only the vaguest idea of what I look like, did I think it was a good idea to go to a new, different hairdresser?

If my hair were a person, it would have special needs.

If my hair had heroes, it would be Professor Trelawny and Crystal Tips from ‘Crystal Tips and Alistair’ (Alistair is the dog. Obviously. The dog has sensible hair.)





















If someone was wishing not to offend me, they would call my hair interesting. Or big.

Why didn’t I realise going to the hairdresser after wearing a helmet at go-karting that pasted my hair attractively to my scalp, that the hairdresser would get the wrong impression of my hair?

Why, when the hairdresser told me it needed some body cut into it, did I not run as fast as possible screaming from the scissors?

Please. Please, if I meet you in England, don’t mention my hair.

I think your hair is very nice. And, if it's any consolation, lovely bf walked in while I was reading this and asked me why I was looking at a mirror image of myself. Maybe we could form a self-help group?

New hairdresser, though? Brave. Very brave.

Your post made me LOL. If your hair is as bad as you think I'd meet everyone in pubs and get them sozzled (thus wiping their memories). But I'm inclined to believe Jen. ;)

Hey JJ, I'm doing the same thing. Have a problem with being 40 something. I have long hair and I've been growing out a fringe too. But this WEDNESDAY I'm going for a shoulder length bob and having a fringe again to hide my wrinkly forehead.

Why do we do this!

Anyway, still can't wait to meet you, even if neither of us looked like we did last week! xx

one good thing about being shorn you really don't get a choice of styles, it's just different degrees of short!!!!! BTW sorry that I can't make the get together hopefully there will be another opportunity.

I always wanted 'big' hair but I was cursed with lank. You can do a lot with 'big':-)

Have a safe trip jj. I hope you're going to do some mobile blogging?:-)

Carol said...

Oh JJ, you are so very brave. New hairdressers are scary! I'm sure it's much lovelier than you're letting on though. :)
Very funny post, btw, thanks for the laugh. (Sorry!)

I love big hair. Maybe because mine is anything but. **wistful sigh**
