Mullet
13 November, 2011
After such a shitty week, I decided I’d cheer myself up with a new haircut. So I found a salon that had space for me on Saturday afternoon.
I came out definitely not cheered.
The panic alarms started ringing when the girl washing my hair, who I assumed was the Saturday hair-washing girl, pulled out the scissors and revealed herseld to be The Stylist.
On claiming she’d finished, I looked at myself in the mirror and wanted to cry. My hair is thick AND there’s a lot of it… She’d not used straightening irons on it so it looked like a huge puffball. I asked her to straighten it, and I was informed it would cost me an extra £5!!
Even after £5 of straightening… It looks like I have a mullet.
My thick, long hair, has been shredded into layers, ranging from 2 inches at its shortest, to 7/8inches at its full length. Mullet-like.
On calling my friends they assured me it would be fine. On seeing it in person, they’ve not been able to lie to me. They’ve told me it will grow and that they like the fringe. So I will be sporting a fringe and ponytail for the next month or so!
I do not plan on posting any photos so just don’t ask!
The thing is, what I’m only admitting to on this blog, is that I feel it might be my fault a little bit. I went to a cheaply cheap place because they were the only ones who could fit me in at the last minute. I should have known.
I have to admit, because I only get my hair done maybe 3 times a year (if that), I always splurge on it. Don’t worry. Hairbands and clips are your friend for the next month x
I think it might be time to splurge… I’ve always had it done when I go “home” (to the parents’) which is getting less and less frequent now. Think I need to find somewhere splurge-worthy around here!
Poor you, I had a haircut at the beginning of the year that was horrendous, I feel your pain. Nothing worse than sitting in the chair thinking “what the hell are you doing to my hair?!” knowing it’s too late, the damage is done! At least you can put yours in a ponytail, mine was cut short (too short) so there was absolutely nothing I could do about it. Hairbands and clips are definitely your friend!
Someone at work thought they were genuinely complimenting it today by telling me it’s “so 80s!” – oh dear.
It fits into a ponytail with a few shoots! Clips necessary!
