I had an appt. with my chiropractor this morning at 11:00, and then an appt. to get my hair cut at 1:45. I had a lot of time to kill but it didn't make sense for me to come back home in between the two appointments, so I fooled around at Arden Mall, where Jeannie & I had been last weekend. I lost my Serengeti sunglasses somewhere during the afternoon and went back to the restaurant and a couple of other spots, but it was hopeless.
I got my hair cut very short - not as short as I had really wanted it, but I think my hairdresser didn't want to do anything drastic, and wanted me to get used to a shorter cut before taking it further. I have another appointment in 5 weeks and I will decide then if I still want a "boy cut".
While waiting for the hairdresser I leafed through a Glamour magazine (it was either that or Men's Journal). I was stunned! I don't normally look at magazines except in a waiting room and there are usually more interesting ones than Glamour. The issue I picked up was pure porn! I'm not prudish by any means but I don't care to look at such explicit photos. Wow! Times have certainly changed.
I am really tired of walking around and being in crowds and traffic. I dislike malls to begin with. There is so much redundancy; I wonder how all those shoe stores stay in business, or women's attire, or sport clothes, etc. It gets boring very quickly when you realize that they are all carrying the same merchandise, or so similar it's hard to tell the difference. This mall is two stories, so they have double the traffic and stores. On the other hand I'm glad for all the folks who work at that mall that they have jobs! And no, I still don't want to shop online except in occasionally rare circumstances.

When I go in for a haircut I tell'ed "I want it spiky dikey". I have been going to my hairdresser for 6 years and the first time I went i had mid back length hair. I told her what I wanted and she said "Are you sure?". LOL We go to the Caribbean a lit and snorkel so short hair is helpful.
ReplyDeleteI was just tired of having hair in my face all the time, getting into my food, toothpaste, etc. I like it this short and will probably get it even shorter next time.
DeleteI think you'd look cute in really short hair. Every once in a blue moon a hair stylist turns up who is able to recommend a cut that actually looks good on your shape face and size forehead and eyes. But not often do they have that kind of artistry.
ReplyDeleteI have a great hairdresser but it's becoming increasingly difficult to drive to her salon.
DeleteI still have a head full of floppy hair and always wait too long before letting Kelly cut it and every time I get it cut I vow never to let it get long again which of course I always do. My friend Jim has about 8 strands of hair left on his head but still insists on going to a hairdresser to have those 8 strands royally looked after. Knowing him as well as I do I have never been able to figure out his logic when it comes to taking his 8 white hairs to the hairdresser.
ReplyDeleteMy hair is still pretty thick as well. Hairdressers like to do something called "texturizing", which used to be called "thinning". They use special scissors that only cuts some of the hair and supposedly it makes it lie better and smoother. I remember when it was called "thinning" and I keep telling my hairdresser, "Don't talk to an older woman about thinning her hair!" I hope you and I both can keep thick hair for years to come.
DeletePicture, Please 😉😁
ReplyDeleteI tried to take "selfies" with my camera (I don't use a smart phone), and I couldn't get my entire head in focus. I'll get my daughter to take one and post it soon.
DeleteI, too, have very thick hair and always kept it short (texturized)until recently. I always asked for "wash & fluff) and loved the razor cuts when they used to do them.
ReplyDeleteIt is now summer (100 degrees) and my hair is down my back and I'm miserable. The worst thing is it gets in the brushes of my vacuum cleaner and stops them. It is so heavy my head hurts at times. I either have to buy one of those pet vacuums or get it cut. My precious DH likes it much better than I. I look in the mirror and remind myself of "Cousin It" on the Addams Family if you all remember that sitcom.
I've looked better in short hair since I passed 20 hrs old1 I grew it long a few years back and when I saw pictures of myself I thought I looked like a much older gray haired woman. It really aged me; I'm not worried about retaining youthful looks, but I don't want to look 90 when I'm "only" 76! I can vaguely remember razor cuts.
