damage control

So a few weeks ago (about a week before my sister’s wedding) I got my hair cut. I told the girl I wanted my layers to be more gradual and less dramatic. I basically felt like I had 2 levels of hair, 1 was just about 2 inches shorter than the other. I still wanted layers, just something less drastic- just at the ends.

Well apparently I was speaking Japanese and she didn’t understand, because I ended up walking out of there looking like a mushroom-head. Seriously. I reminded myself of the little mushroom guys from Super Mario Brothers on Nintendo! Not what I had in mind- in fact, my layers were even MORE pronounced this time! The top part is just below my chin, and the underneath part is almost to my bra in the back. But I thought maybe it was just from how she fixed it (for some reason when I leave the hair salon, I always feel like I need to go clubbing or something, my hair is so BIG) So I let myself get used to it, and thought that if I fixed it myself, I would like it much better. And I did at first… these pictures were taken 2 days later.

But now that it’s growing even longer, it’s getting worse. I can’t stand it- I really like the front and how it angles around my face, but the back is just… dumb. I feel almost like I have a mullet, only longer. It’s only been a few weeks, but I have to do something. So I’m going tonight to get it ‘fixed’. Somewhere else, of course. Because I’m too big a chicken to go back in and tell her she didn’t do what I wanted. It might be my fault… sometimes I’m not very good at explaining things, so I don’t think she understood.

Or, it could be that she was so distracted by the cute guy sitting 2 chairs down from me that she wasn’t paying attention. *sigh*

It’s a shame, too, because I am really liking having long hair again. But I’m going to have to get at least 2 inches off to even this stuff out. At least it grows fast…

Anyway, so tonight, a haircut. Maybe I should draw a picture of what I want? :P
