you're so vain
No, you're not so vain. I am.
I finally got a haircut. It's the first one since...ummm...May? I've been growing my hair out, so I didn't want to even trim it until it was a nicer length. In the last few weeks, it's finally gotten to the point that I can put it up in a half ponytail and it (mostly) stays there.
But I had a girl mullet.
Since I had bangs with my short hair, I'm going through the lovely process of growing them out. (Again! Why did I decide this was a good idea?) So I've got this nice shorter layer on the top of my hair and then a long layer underneath that likes to flip out and look really nappy. (Side note: I just looked up "nappy" to make sure it was spelled right - and it turns out that it doesn't mean what I thought it meant. Too bad. I'm using it anyway.) It was definitely time to do something about that.
I haven't had to check out salons since we moved here, and I wasn't really looking forward to it. I asked the sisters in our ward if they knew of anyone who would do it for about $10 (so I'm cheap) besides some place like Great Clips. No one really volunteered, and Brian made some good points about getting a more expensive haircut. I ended up going to a salon just down the street from us. Not cheap, but I like what she did. I came home and told Brian to take some pictures of me because my hair wasn't going to look that good again until I got another haircut.
It never ceases to amaze me what some people can do with a round brush and a hair dryer.
That got me thinking though. I've always been opposed to hair dryers and curling irons. One of my companions taught me how to use a straightener once, and I wasn't too bad at it. But I'm so uncoordinated otherwise. However, as much as I hate taking more time than necessary to get ready, I decided it might be worth it if I can add 15 minutes or less to my routine and actually look that good every day. (What an idea!) So with a little convincing from Brian (yes, HE had to convince ME), I ended up with a hair dryer and a straightener. It may be just an experiment. But this could be the beginning of something beautiful (haha) - I even had the motivation to dry my hair and put on make-up this morning.
I guess we'll see how this goes.
