i like to think of it as ’self-editing.’

desperation? boredom? the too-long wait for a first-timer appointment at devachan? whatever the reason, i took measures into my own hands and gave myself a haircut yesterday. it came out ok, save for this one cowlicky bit that i didn’t discover until i tried to restyle my hair this morning.
but the best part of the whole endeavor was this: after the snipping was complete, i didn’t have to fend off the blowdryer-and-round-brush advances of the stylist. that, undoubtedly, is the most irritating part of every haircut i’ve received in the past 18 months — listen, if you’re going to cut and style my hair, at least give me a style that i can replicate without having to add eyes in the back of my head and stretch armstrong limbs. curly-headed ladies, can i get an ‘amen’ to that?

they bring the round brush out for the straight haired ladies, too. my last cut/style experience left me with puff the magic haircut, but thankfully it was temporary.
Many years ago I gave up on trying to get the curls to do anything that they didn’t want to do on their own. Sometimes that meant they stood straight up, sometimes it meant a total mop. There was no predicting. It’s the zen of the curl, I think.
devachan is worth it. one curly headed girl to the next. style is repeatable, no curly brushes required. I see francis. he’s a hair zen master.
What she said, except I see Mario.
Seriously, best haircut and hair gunk evar.
Well, now that I have a perm, I fully understand what you mean. Except: it’s the same when I *don’t* have curls. I can never get it right. :-(
I homeclip, usually when insomnial. Sometimes I let the moustache get longer than the beard, and sometimes I let both get longer than the head-hair.
