My hair grows quite fast that it grows about a foot or more in 3-4 months and considering I don't do fancy do's, trimming and cutting it back down to a bob costs about the same. When I do go to chop it all off the hair dressers seem to have mini breakdowns and keep taking off an inch at a time while I keep saying make it shorter. <br />The most amusing incident was when I was in college and I had hair down to my hips and wanted it down to a bob. That cause the all the hair stylists to gather round and exclaim while mine very reluctantly did what I asked.muddled postdochttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03476359650124669190noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29059245.post-60718682739950352862012-05-14T11:19:39.400-05:002012-05-14T11:19:39.400-05:00Impressive

(third time was locks of love and I think they didn't know how to cut it really short).<br />But the first two times the stylist insisted on cutting it medium length before she'd allow me to get it really really short. (live with it for a while this way before you decide.) They apparently believe that someone who requests 15" chopped off is mentally unstable and will sue them later or something.Rachelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08085769147864515618noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29059245.post-72540155880245913992012-05-12T17:12:21.082-05:002012-05-12T17:12:21.082-05:00The only downside is that a haircut with that leve...<i>The only downside is that a haircut with that level of precision takes absolutely forever.</i><br /><br />I get my hair cut at a fancy salon, and I swear this fucken stylist cuts each single strand of hair individually.

After years of long, slightly curly/slightly frizzy, wash and go, I decided to try a shorter hairdo and a stylist cut my hair in long layers that I really liked. One day I said I was going to an orchestra concert and she could do something to it, which I really meant, just actually blow-dry it and make it look like other people's everyday hair but she went all out and gave me this very crazy big hairdo that I felt embarrassed to sport around the people that knew me and saw me there. No more "dos." Then that stylist hurt her shoulder and got a replacement that made my hair look like a mullet each time I gave her a chance. Needless to say, my hair is back to long...plasmaphysicsmomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07593271166313225547noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29059245.post-49730463874652412532012-05-12T11:09:03.238-05:002012-05-12T11:09:03.238-05:00I see other people came to the same conclusion alr...I see other people came to the same conclusion already, but they totally sold your hair.

(They needed people for their employees to practice on) I remember seeing the Vidale Sasson posters on the wall. They must've liked my pristine thick teenaged hair as well, since they would chop off most of it. Most of the time we ended up with some pretty scary mulletesque creations. Perhaps not coincidentally, we both ended up growing our hair out and avoiding stylists for many years thereafter.<br />As an adult, I've gotten way too many haircut where "Just a trim, no layers" turned into at least 5 inches off and tons of layers. My hair grows really slowly, so this would amount to almost a year's worth of growth. <br />Once I moved to Ithaca, one of my new neighbors took a look at me and instantly decided I was her hair twin. She told me where she got her hair cut. She was right. Now just a trim actually is, and there's no pressure to get layers or highlights or staighten or color it. It's rather shcoking that it took 43 years and a move to a college town to get me haircuts in line with what I wanted.Old Biddyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12982631719343776864noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29059245.post-54371370341752108862012-05-11T13:16:55.965-05:002012-05-11T13:16:55.965-05:00The touching thing is not just with women with sho...The touching thing is not just with women with short hair.

I think they were very disappointed when they asked me what kinds of products I used to maintain this "health" and discovered it was only big box store shampoo. However, it was the first time I have gotten my hair cut and they haven't recommended a bunch of expensive products while I'm trapped in the chair.
