Thank you! Yes, it's always nice visiting this hairdresser! She's super affordable and we always have nice talks. Except that she badmouthed drummers this time around and I'm one




Yep, definitely. But I think I will still consider this the end of my growing-out-bleach journey - unless I find some obvious chunk of bleach in there still.

I guess you wear the buns at the back of your head? That would indeed take a lot longer. My shortest fringe bits reach just below my cheekbones and they just about reach the bun I always put my hair in.

I do. I find high buns make my roots look oily faster for some odd reason.

I am fortunate to have found hairdressers that respect my wishes. But I do have my fair share of awful experiences with them also... Not really with cutting too much, though.

Oh, my... Was she aware of the fact that you're a drummer? And, what was her problem with drummers anyway?

That's good.


Yeah, one had chopped my hair rather unevenly six years ago. Was crying as soon as I came home. After that, I was like "never again!"

Ah, I see. I find the opposite since the roots are more lifted in the top-of-the-head position. But it doesn't matter so much to me since I wash my hair so often!

I'm not sure if she was, but I'd imagine so, because we've talked about my music in the past and she knows well the group I'm in. Her comment was regarding the brother of her recently deceased ex. Apparently, the brother was always jealous of her ex because he wanted to be a musician but couldn't (unlike the ex who was a bassist), "not even a drummer". She herself doesn't even play anything so But anyway, if you make a non-drummer play a percussion instrument, in my experience, it doesn't tend to sound very good either, and not everyone has an inclination to rhythm in the first place. I've heard many people who, even with a lot of work put into it, wouldn't be very good drummers!

I did invite her to our gig on Thursday since it's rare we play in that city, but now I don't know if it would be anything enjoyable for her since she also said she cannot stand "campfire guitarists" anymore after hearing someone play Beethoven on the guitar. Well, our guy isn't a virtuoso by any means so I guess it'll be just suffering for her Oh well!

Yeah, that's no good! No wonder you're very hesitant about them.

If she was, then that is very strange in my opinion.
So, just because this one person was jealous and such, it somehow is drummers fault? What logic...

Wish I could play the drums, I've always loved the sound.
dmittedly, have never really tried it, and I imagine it would cost a fortune (lessons wouldn't be cheap either).
Indeed. Haven't really gotten to start with my violin yet, but it sounds like cats scratching on blackboards.

Well, if I had been in Finland, I'd have loved to go.

Beethoven on guitar? What was wrong with that? Classical music is always open for interpretation, isn't it?

Yeah, that's no good! No wonder you're very hesitant about them.

Yup. So if ever I were to go to one, it would only be after recommendation from someone whose judgment I trust.
A friend who was doing the "frisörslinjen" in high school(?) got the honor of evening it up. And since she was still learning (and needed more experience in cutting shorter hairstyles), I got the haircut (Rizzo from Grease) for a cheaper price too.
So we both got something out of it in the end.

Yeeep, apparently all drummers are the least skilled of all musicians and only play drums because they can't play anything else

It always sounds awful in the beginning when you are just getting started with something! But the fun thing about starting a new instrument is that progress comes really quickly at first! You are like a whole new player almost every week.

Ah yes, the Beethoven guitarist was so good, according to her, that because of that, she can no longer stand anyone worse, was what I meant. So she seems to have set her standards for enjoying live music very high! Which is a kind of a pity, because live music is always the complete experience, not just virtuosistic skill at an instrument...

Well, Rizzo is a fun and cute hairstyle for sure! So sounds like that at least was a positive experience overall.

Doesn't sound like I'd have a fun conversation with her then, if that's what she genuinly believe.


Yup, indeed! I can't wait until I get there. Have also an ocarina at home (ten fingered), and one of these days, I'll try to learn it.
I did play the flute when I was younger after all...

Ah, I see. Then I misunderstood how shge meant that, that she's simply setting her standards too high.
I'm with you there.

Yup, it is. Though I am happy about being so close to TBL now.

I just have to chime in and say that personally, I think that drums are one of the most complicated instruments to play, because you're doing totally different things with four limbs sometimes, and you really have to rewire your brain to effectively do so many different things at once, and still keep the rhythm going strong for everyone. It's like trying to "pat your head and rub your tummy" but also doing something else with each foot, hahaha! I don't know how anyone could think it's simple, to be honest! I briefly had the opportunity to take about a month's worth of beginner "lessons" in 2020 with my now husband, and wow, hahaha, it's a challenge! Very fun, though, and I would practice again if the opportunity presents itself. Our apartment now is too small for a set, but it was very fun. Drummers always get a little extra respect from me! So, I tip my hat to you! Hahaha!

Also, Ylva, congrats on the end of the bleach damage phase! I'm sure that's a very satisfying milestone. I've got a lot of "sunbleached" damage that I just started growing out a year ago, so it'll be around a while still. I did no-trim for the whole last year, except for some heavy S&D once in the spring and once in September. But, I've had so much breakage this year that the ends are starting to thin quite a bit, to where you can see through a lot of it now. So, I think that once I finish my no trim 2024 challenge at the end of this year, I'll start doing a half-inch trim every 3 months, to start thickening the hemline back up slightly, while still growing. I think that'll prevent me from getting stressed enough about my hemline to do a dreaded impulse cut, which I'm prone to when I'm not happy with my hair.

Für immer, 13cm is impressive for that timeframe! I hope I can get that much in the next year!

Lucy McLucyface, firstly, what an awesome name! Secondly, your hair looks so pretty! I love how the V cut looks with all that wonderful fluffy fullness!
