You Have Great Hair!

My hair is a mess. Always. It’s a freaking nightmare. It’s not curly and it’s definitely not straight. It’s a giant frizz ball of a mess. I have so much hair it is insane! I have to have my hair thinned every time I get my hair cut, which is about every 8 weeks. So couple the bulk with the frizz and it’s really not a pretty sight. My husband likes to say I have a Jew ‘fro and he’s really not far from the mark. Think Art Garfunkel with hair to the middle of his back. Yuck.

So then why is it every time I go to a new stylist I am told I have great hair? And that it does exactly what they want it to do? Huh? My hair? The hair that looks like I stuck my finger in a light socket? After I have applied leave-in conditioner, smoothing cream, dried it with a giant round brush, put giant hot rollers in it and used a flat iron? Hmmm. What am I doing wrong?

Today I had my first appointment with the owner of Defining Moments here on Bainbridge. Immediately he tells me I have great hair. And not only that, but that it is glamorous! That’s right. This rat’s nest is glamorous! After having it up in a pony tail for two days it was a bit calm, but come on! It was a voluminous mess!! But he said the little wave thing I had going on over my right eye was glamorous. Ala Rita Hayworth as a matter of fact. So who am I to argue? Hear that, Honey? Rita Hayworth! Not a Jew ‘fro.

By the way, Jason did an amazing  job with this mess! He thinned it out so much I felt like I had lost 10 lbs (if only!).  He also fixed my layers so that they blend oh so much better than they did.  To finish me off he used a flat iron. I  have never in my life seen my hair this straight! And probably never will again. So, if you happen to see me tonight or tomorrow take a good long look.  Maybe I should take a picture.
