This is my friend, Sherry, on a frigid night in Denver after getting warmed up a little with a mojito. Her hair always looks great and she looks especially cute in that hat. As my hair is getting nearly as long as hers, I quizzed her a bit on her styling methods. Similar to me, she’s not much interested in spending lots of time on it. Hopefully I’m not outing her too much – she often rides to work with rollers in her semi-damp hair and then yanks them out as she gets to work. Tada! Hmmm…something to consider. Of course that’s about 2-3 more steps than I take.
I generally avoid hats to avoid major hathead to which my hair is particularly prone. Husband got me this sweet upcycled sweater hat for my birthday and I wore it straight for about two days. If you don’t take the hat off…you don’t have hathead, right?
Meanwhile another birthday gift showed up, this one from Sherry! Velcro rollers – did not even know those existed. You just put them in and they stick. Kind of.
Some time around then, I also got bangs. I just couldn’t take it any more.
I’m no stranger to rollers or bangs:
Post-rollers, feeling a bit over-coiffed:
Understandably, after my twelve months of complaining about growing my hair out, the questions just keep coming: when are you cutting your hair? are you cutting your hair on the 1st? etc.
You know, I just don’t know. Feels kind of dumb to just whack it off right away after all this trouble. Let’s see what the new year brings.
