Hair today

Today I’m going to give a bit of a rave. It’s kind of about how awesome my hair looks, but really it’s more about how it got looking this awesome.

Those who know me know that I rarely get my hair cut more than once a year. Not because I’m against having it done, it’s just that I don’t really think about it. I mean, it’s just hair. Right? But I’ve (almost) always had my hair cut before a holiday or other big happenings.

Anyhow, I don’t have any holidays planned, but I do have a big happening planned. And this big happening is something that I want to look fabulous for. No, I’m not talking about a date. And no, I’m not going to tell you about my big happening. But I will tell you soon enough. How’s that for a cliffhanger?

So, I made an appointment at Two’s Company Hairdressing to have Malcolm make me look pretty (contact details below). And, as he did when I was there back in February, he did!

Only this time I was more impressed than the first time. Not because it was a better cut, but because – even though it had been six months since my last visit – he remembered me and the fact that I was a master’s student and a runner. And it’s a bit nice to be remembered, especially when you feel like a small-town redneck lost in the big city.

And not only that, but he was nice and chatty and when I told him about my big happening, he was keen to make sure my hair would be fab for it. Oh! And because my hair is rather long and thick, he enlisted a second stylist to help dry it before he put it up in Velcro rollers for a spell. I felt like such a celebrity having two people working on my hair!

The results were gorgeous – and educational as Malcolm took the time to give me tips on how to set my hair in rollers since I’ve been failing in my own attempts. Even better is that he thinks that (as long as I don’t go for a run!) my hair might last until my big happening!

Now, I fully admit that my lack of skill means that it won’t look this fabby again (well, until I get it cut next) but I can already tell that it’s going to look great even when I don’t do anything to it!

Yay! for pretty hair!

Tomorrow’s task list:

  • Write, write, write! (A friend from my course is coming over for a work party.)
  • Review current Ofcom and Pew Research stats on Internet use
  • Get ready for my big happening

  1. Ok, so the “big happening” is definitely, definitely, without shadow of a doubt, definitely not a date.
    Either way you’re definitely looking braw (as we say in Scotland), so maybe find a wee date in the mean time… just for the fun of it.

    1. Aw, blush… I really do have to say I haven’t been this in love with my hair in ages! I mean, really, I do feel pretty. I just hope that I can make it look this pretty when I have to wash it and style it myself. (A task I avoided today.)
      The big happening, to be honest, is potentially two big happenings so it might be a double-duty hair cut! But don’t worry–I will tell everyone about one or both happenings as soon as I can.
      (Spare luck and good thoughts are always welcome and appreciated!)
