Half-a-dozen-egg strong
My hair is a never-ending source of unhappiness. It is really thick (you could sew with it, or as the title suggests hang more than 1 egg off a strand – a supposed mark of hair health if it doesn’t break – before it would so much as flinch). Plus I have an ungodly head full. And it grows fast. And it curls a little.
I have tried pretty much everything:
Really short. Cost: too high, look: no good. Like I received an accidental electrical discharge that foofed it up – which actually happened last year during an episode too embarrassing to discuss. And prompted Christian to ask me ‘Do you even know how electricity works?’ (apparently not).
Chin length. Cost: moderate, look: not so good. Like Mafalda pictured here on a good day. Where I am right now and not loving it.
Long. Cost: economical, look: irrelevant. Always done up into a bun because so thick and heavy it is unworkable. Plus I get headaches from how heavy it is (I am being completely serious here).
Shaved: almost did it once. But would have to go through ‘really short’ stage again, which is an experience I never want to repeat if I can help it.
So have I exhausted all my options? No: I have a plan. I plan to go for that usually dreaded in-between length that barely hits the shoulders. And stay there. Not short enough to channel Mafalda, not long enough to get a migraine or wince in pain when I let my bun down at night (seriously, it hurts). I should get there by my birthday. Then maybe at the age of 31 I will make peace with my hair (but probably not).
On échange mes ficelles quand tu veux! J’adoooore tes cheveux…et pour le coup de la décharge électrique (je veux TOUT savoir lol) tu aurais du voir ton neveu ce matin! On lui a lavé les cheveux hier soir juste avant de le coucher (jamais un bon plan!) et ce matin….argggg! J’ai sérieusement envisagé l’option gel. Même le peigne mouillé n’a rien fait. Mais bon, comme ça n’avait pas l’air de trop le gêner….
bisous
Ben t’as pété tous tes petits plombs si tu veux ma moumoute!! Et c’est quoi ça d’appeler tes cheveux fins fins et magnifiques des ficelles, hein!!
J’espère que tu as au moins pris des photos de mon neveu avec l’épi du siècle. Sinon, je raconte pas le coup de la décharge!!!
Je t’envoie des MILLIONS de bisous xxx
