Bangs for Bucks

[brit_columbia]

I got my hair done yesterday-- cut, color, straightening. It looks really good! I hurried back to work from the salon hoping to extract some compliments from my office mates, but they had all gone home for the day. So I stayed at the office to do some more work, but called my husband to tell him about my hair and how happy I was with the result. A

Haha, oh dear! Poor you! But seriously, what do men know about hair?! (Except gay men maybe :D)
That's a funny coincidence because just about a week ago, I got my hair cut, too! :D It was way too long and fuzzy and I had a bit of spliss, so it really needed to be cut.
The hairdresser asked me several times if I was really sure about cutting so much off xD Now it's much shorter, it barely reaches my shoulders, and I have oblique bangs. I'm very satisfied ^_^
(only my father wasn't very enthusiastic about it - he is never happy when my mum, my sister or I cut our hair short xD)

Oh by the way, which colour does your hair have now? I thought about dying the tips of my hair green, so that it looks like this: http://media-cache-ec0.pinimg.com/736x/6d/91/19/6d911985db4867f3356ab20f65f65e41.jpg

That would have been an adventure, because I've never dyed my hair before xD But in the end, I wasn't brave enough to do it.

I think green tips look awesome! But then you have to pay more attention to the color clothes you wear on your upper body so that it doesn't clash with the green.

My hair is just a different shade of brown now. Before it was a medium reddish brown, now it's a slightly darker ash brown.

Yay to hair happiness! Husband's reaction was definitely worthy of a dope-slap.

Thinking back, the BYM's most extreme reaction was when I came home with an unfortunate cut and the first words out of his mouth were "Muffin Head!" Some months later, I was at an all-women business lunch that turned into a share-fest about Things Men Say About Hair. The one I really remember was the woman whose husband disapproved of short hair and thus reacted to her cut with "Did you stick your head in the lawnmower today?"

Things Men Say About Hair should be the title of a book!

I hope you found a way to duly punish the BYM for the muffin head comment.

Wow, did you ever marry a clueless man. As a fellow cowlick-victim, one who stopped even trying to do bangs twenty years ago because they looked so ridiculous on me, you have my sympathy. Glad you set him straight there at the end.

Also, you may have a kudos for your post title.

Why thank you Peacewish; I thought my post title was rather clever, too! I'm usually pretty title-challenged, but occasionally I have a flash of inspiration.

Don't cowlicks suck? I have to say that most hairdressers can't tame them. The best I can hope for on my own is about 75 percent forehead-coverage.

Yes, I believe my husband could sweep all the top prizes in any Clueless Husband contest. But he would be confused as to why he was being handed trophies because he doesn't know he's a Clueless Husband!
