what the hell, hair?
I’m still not speaking to my hair today, although we did have a moment of detente this afternoon when I scared it into submission with the blow dryer. But mostly it was just totally out of control for the whole damn day. And yes, I understand that when the humidity is 110% it’s haaaaard for the hair to do its thing, and yes I know that I really should have made an appointment to have it cut THIS week and not NEXT week, and YES I take full responsibility for the whole coloring debacle.
But get over it already, hair. I’m tired of living with your noticeably horrific “natural” color (is it brown? is it blond? is it just dirty?) and ever increasing gray (do they all HAVE to grow RIGHT IN FRONT?!?). I have come to terms with your greasiness and limpness and total resistance to any sort of styling. In fact, I have gone OUT OF MY WAY to find a style–and a stylist!–who can meet your demands to Be Yourself at all times.
In other words, I pretend like I like it when you stick out in twenty different directions. I act like that’s how I really want it to look. Just to keep the peace.
Hair, you are pissing me off. And for the next week, there’s nothing I can do about you. Which pisses me off EVEN MORE. I may have to skewer you with some little glittery bobby pins, because that is all I can think to do.
Are you scared? You should be, hair. You should be.

I dunno if your hair is scared but when I read “glittery little bobby pins” *I* was scared.

Hahahah, yes the glittery bobby pins scared me too.
I am going in today to get my hair cut. My hairdresser is like 12 months pregnant and I am frightened that she is not going to come back right after she has the baby. Because it IS all about me afterall.

Your hair sounds too much like mine! (we were not separated at birth.. but you might be my younger sister…).
Alas, glittery bobby pins clash with my bifocals… and my hair is too short to look good in a baseball cap. Someday my hair will grow.. or I will shave my head.

I am tempted to shave my head, I really am. Really.
Today the hair is better. I think the bobby pins threat worked. For now.

Yes, the gray does grow RIGHT IN FRONT. No idea why. God has a twisted sense of humour?
This reminds me that I should probably have something done to mine before my wedding in, um, TEN DAYS!
Because people will be taking pictures. Agh. Maybe I could borrow the (choke) glittery bobby pins?
Or perhaps not.

When my hair becomes afraid that I’m ready to do something drastic to it, it usually gives me a few awesome “hair days” so that I back down.

hahahaa, I have that ugly “are you blond or brown?” haircolour too.. It sucks. But instead of going grey I’m just silently willing my hairline to stay right where it is, or else.

Go for the headband - or a hat. I’d call the “gray” hair a nice platinum shade of blonde. There’s no such thing as gray.

I am growing out a HORRIBLE HAIRCUT

Girl.
HATS.
A whole new fabulous accessory to worry about.
HATS.
The bobby pins are scary, though, I’ll give you that.
