More Hair Talk

Twice this week, someone has come up to me and said, "Your hair is getting so long! Are you intentionally growing it out?!"

Why is my hair growing such a big shock to everyone? Hair does that. It grows. It's an amazing thing, isn't it? But people are just so surprised by it. I don't remember ever saying, "Oh, let's see how long I can get my hair. Can I get it down to my knees?" That's not the real reason for it's length.

The real reason is that the woman who cuts my hair charges $65 a pop. And that's a lot of money to just cut an inch or two off to clean it up. So, I go in about once or twice a year and have her shape it. And she's so good, the shape lasts for months. That's all it really needs at this point.

And the real, real reason? The boys like the long hair.
And I'm likin' the boys likin' me right now.

That's how I feel. I get my hair cut once a year (twice, if it's lucky). That's all the time and money I'm willing to spend on it. And that's all it needs. I'm sure it would be much healthier looking if I got it done regularly. But ask me if I care.

I've been drinking a little wine (obviously), so I'm rambling...
