So I went to my well-trusted hair dresser yesterday. (Same one I have had for years.) I asked for the smallest trim ever, since I am still trying to get rid of layers. Everything was going fine, she was even joking that the trim was so small she wouldn't even have to sweep the floor. Everything looks good and I left really happy.
The next day I go to put my hair into my normal peacock twist and HORROR! :( I have a small bit of hair in the front that only goes to my nose!!!! At first I was like, "Well, that is weird, why is my updo so messy looking today?" And then I realized this must be some sort of face framing thing. ARGH!! I am so mad!
I woke up twice last night and couldn't get back to sleep thinking about this tiny bit of hair, I am up now because I can't sleep thinking about it. Woke at 4:50, grrrrrrr. Let me say that I may be a little obsessive about this, it is NOT a lot of hair. We are talking half the thickness of a pencil at the very most, but it is driving me crazy! I feel like I have just been put back a year in my growing. :(
On some level, I know I am being a little nuts about this. Right now I am only at about 20 inches so it isn't like she cut this into waist length hair or anything. Eventually I do want a U-shaped hemline and really this doesn't put me off from that too much but it won't go into my updo.:wail:
I also am trying to think of a way to tell her not to do that next time that won't sound rabidly insane and accusatory. She has never done something like that before. I figure I wasn't really specific enough because things have always been great. Let me specify that I have had her doing my hair for at least 20 years and she is a great friend of the family.
In my head right now I can't come up with a reasonable way to broach it that doesn't entail me foaming at the mouth and yelling, "This bit in front is abso-blanking-lutely intolerable! :rant:I can't put this in an updo because YOU cut it so short!! You nitwit!:steam It is going to take me years to grow this out!!!!":angry:
Unfortunately she is really a good friend and I feel like I need a more measured way to approach the problem, when I go back......eventually, probably 6 months from now. *sighs*
