Last Wednesday, I got the bright idea that I would cut my hair all off and go short. So, I made an appointment and got in on Thursday. I was so excited for a change…and a cute new hairstyle. I somehow forgot that I am fat, and when I am fat I do not look good with short hair. It makes my face look fatter, and me uglier.

So, I brought in a picture of the cut I wanted. I wanted a bob, but I wanted it wispy on the ends, not a blunt cut. I said I wanted the ends to sweep my shoulders. I still wanted it longish…but short. The cut I picked was longish.

She said she would have to do a razor cut, and I know my hiar hates razor cuts. My hair is very course, and thick. Not thick in that I have a ton of hair, but a single hair is thick. Plus, I have gotten many a haircuts where I could have layers with scissors.

Obviously, by my after picture above, I didn’t even remotely get the same haircut. I am not a very picky person either. I don’t freak out over major changes to my hair…and I don’t have crazy expectations. I realize the girl in the picture has finer hair then I do. I realize it will look a little different on my head. Yet, these are two different hairstyles.

To top it off, I have no idea how she styled it. So, my hair really looks like shit now. Proof:

After she cut it, she showed me the back. I always have major issues with the back of my hair when people cut it. I looked at it, it looked okay. I went home. I pulled my short hair through a cap and bleached it. I washed my hair, and went to style it. I looked at the back and it was fucking crooked. There was absolutely nothing wispy about the ends of my hair. All she did was razor the shit out of my hair, and didn’t even make it even. Do I have a lopsided head where stylist cannot for the life of them cut it straight? Am I like a 5 year old in the chair wiggling around and they just can’t get it straight? What’s the deal, Lucille?

So, my brother and Agnes come over and Agnes tells me it looks like an older woman from the back. My brother tells me I look like my Mom. Yay! Just what I was going for! Ha! I totally agreed with Agnes, that is what I thought when I looked at it. I took my scissors to it a bit, and threw it in a tiny little ponytail.

My Mom came over on Friday and cut it a bit and made it more of an angled something or another. Either way it looks better, but not good.

It baffles me people! Baffles me that there are people who cut hair for a living, and have been doing so for years. Yet, I have a better eye then they do, and I can take no education and my huge sewing scissors to my hair, and make it look better then they can with their professional equipment and training.

So, it seems I am not on the look out for a new stylist who can actually cut fucking hair. I suppose my next haircut will be at a pricer salon.

Why is it you look at pictures of yourself with long hair, and you long to have it back. Yet, when it’s on your head you hate it and it’s boring? How I wish I never touched my hair last week. I don’t see myself liking it anytime soon until it is long again.

Remind me in like 2 years when I want to chop my hair again, to look at pictures of me with short hair. That will change my mind real fast.
