i like to think of it as ’self-editing.’
25 March 2006
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?
