purplerabbitSo things are getting desperate on the hair front.
What is she talking about?, you ask. Hair is an issue for me.
Back story here: I was bald until I was two. When it did grow in, it was blond curls. Which made people really silly around me. Seriously. I did so not like being patted on the head. I had my hair short until I grew up. Then I grew it out in back in the 80s. Big big head of massive curls. In 1990, I chopped it all off except a set of long braided tails in back. Wore it that way until a couple years ago. Then shaved all my hair off. Wore a buzz cut for over a year. Then, after the last buzz cut in July 2004, I decided to grow my hair out again.
Problem? I have absolutely no *^$* idea what to do with it. It is now a mass of thick long brown hair that is always in my face. It isn't long enough to pull back easily and I am at a loss of what to have it styled like. I like having my hair long in back, but I also really feel more comfortable looking butch. Not to mention not having it in my face all the time.
A couple weeks ago I had it done into cornrows. Looked fantastic on me. Problem is that after a week, my scalp hurt and itched to much to keep them. So I am back to the mess again.
HELP! If I don't figure something out soon, I may resort to cutting it all off again. Sigh.

We did that when we got Thomas hair cut, and I've done it many times before in my life. Works like a charm - they love it when they get to actually *do their job*, and not have to deal with clients who say "I want my hair like such-and-such celebrity", who happens to not have the same type hair or facial shape, or anything.
