He cut my hair.

March 3, 2013

a little alley I found near work... each time I see it I think of the secret garden.

 So have you noticed that when you are in a funk that you need to do something with your hair? I know it's not just me. I remember in high school, right after I'd broken up with my boyfriend and I was chatting on msn (remember msn?) to my friend that had moved away to go to university a few months earlier. 

 We talked about the break up a bit and then he was like "did you change your hair yet?" I was a bit shocked and said "How did you know that?". He told me "that's what girls do when they break up or are sad". Dude knew what he was talking about.

 Since then, I've noticed this hair principle everywhere. In my friends, colleagues, strangers. Break up or life change or a bit of a funk = hair change. Not always big change but usually a spur of the moment decision. Where am I going with this? Don't worry, no break ups here! But I've been in a funk this weekend (explained here). 

 And so today, Tom cut my hair. I asked him too. I've been in desperate need of a hair cut and I refuse to spend $100 on a cut which is the rort i'm expected to pay in Sydney. I had a hairdresser I liked for awhile, but she had salon ADD and kept moving around and then she disappeared. Normally I get my hair cut when I visit my sister (she lives in another city) because it's like a third of the price.

Well today, in my funk I decided i've had it! It just needed a trim. Just cut nice and straight, along the length. So I armed my husband with some scissors. I think he was terrified I was setting him up to get in trouble. But it was fine. Trimmed. Neat. And with the hair swept up off the floor and into the bin, in went away some of my funk. Not completely but almost. (Don't worry, it was half an inch at most and it's straight).

So have you ever done that? Cut or dyed your hair on a whim? (depressive funk or life affirming moment to take charge of your life). I want to know. You gotta tell me!

I'm linking up today for Sunday Confessions here.

  2. Um. Story of my whole life right there. I mean - you ran me to the shops to get dye to cover up my horrific last bleach event!!! (see definition of 'true friend')

    It's actually a miracle I still have hair right now. It's falling out (hormones) and my emotions are intense right now ... I kind of just want to chop it all off. Missed seeing you today by the way!!

    I think about cutting my hair some times then I remember when I had a little afro. Not the best look or me. I accept the bun that has always been. but I think people who can change up their style to what ever and get away with are AWESOME!

  6. Yes, yes, yes! I cut my hair when life just seems a bit mundane...although I don't think I'd ever let my husband do the honours :p

  7. I was super scared the first time my husband asked me to trim his hair with an electric clipper (I think it's called that?).

  9. i am totally and completely "that girl that changes her hair color" all the time .... and I often say I'm an "emotional" cutter - only because when I'm going through a lot I want control and I can cut my hair, color my hair, or do something to my hair and have complete control.

  10. So glad it turned out! I'd never trust my hubby to cut my hair haha - it would be such a disaster! I remember MSN...that seems like forever ago!

    Happy Monday!

  11. Hair cuts in melbourne are expensive too, usually like $85ish. My hair is so curly I don't think I'd trust my husband to be able to cut it and not make it blow out like a triangle.

  12. I am the same way with not wanting to spend money to get my hair done in Denver. We have lived here nearly 3 years and I've never gotten my hair done here. I always wait until we go home to Texas because it is a small town and like half the price! And to answer your question, yes I have been in a funk before and changed my hair! I have naturally light hair and always get blonde highlights, well this one time I was in a funk and went dark brown/almost black. I actually liked it and miss it sometimes!
