hair

[ilanarama]

I got my hair cut yesterday, and the guy who does my hair is doing this new thing now: he blow-dried my hair and then ironed it straight before cutting, so that he could line up and cut all the layers precisely. The thing is, my hair is thick and wavy-to-curly. I have never seen myself with straight hair before, and I couldn't stop staring at myself in the mirror. I mean, it is so totally smooth and straight. I look like a completely different person.

Husbands being what they are, I couldn't get a straight answer out of mine as to whether he preferred it straight or curly. When I told him I could buy a straightening iron and do it like this every day, he just laughed at me and pointed out that I never even bother to blow-dry it normally, and just walk around with wet hair until it dries, and did I really think I was going to spend that much time every day on my hair? He has a point.

Your husband is a wise man.

Mine would have actually given me an opinion, probably adding that the way I've worn it for the past 18 years is "ugly."
