I have been trying to wear my hair up as much as possible so I do not want to cut it. My ends, which always bother me, had been particularly bad and I just wanted to forget my hair for a while. So, I kept putting it up.
The other day at grad school we had to give presentations on our self-care project. After I was done talking about the book piece I had made, a fellow student stated during the discussion "It looks like your hair is part of your self care plan, too. You always seem to have it up in such interesting styles."
Given that we are all artists there, I smiled and shrugged some (my typical reaction to a compliment... I just cannot take them for some reason) and stated, "Sure. Hair is just another fiber art." To which the rest of the students laughed (namely since many of us crochet or knit as well).
As we moved onto the next presenter, it just hit me that even though no one said to me that my hair was looking nice in the different ways I was putting it up, someone always notices. I don't know if this made me feel better or if this just made my head swell a little and I will think now, "Everyone is in awe of my hair."
I think my classmate created a monster.
