Hair

<< < (3/5) > >>

Phyll:
I have always been a wash and wear hair kind of gal.  Fortunately I have great hair.  After losing all my hair from chemo on my 40th birthday, I never had a bad hair day.  It always grows back.  I had a lot of fun with scarves and hats back then.
I did manage a bun today with the help of 2 scrunchy ties.  Not on the top of my head though.  I'll try that tomorrow!

Phyll:
I put my hair in a bun at the top of my head this morning and received an unexpected compliment about it from W. :)

lighter:
Did you twist it up, P? Twist and twist and twist and twist in one direction till it knots up and makes a bun?

Phyll:
That is a good tip.  I twisted some, but had trouble with it today. 

Meh:
Well, recently this past year I guess, I feel and look run down in a two fold way. Firstly I've not been seeing many people or looking forward to seeing people and so I've not got much reason to keep up appearances.

The other part of me also resents the bullshit and fakeness of femaleness how even unattractive women judge others based of image and appearances but appearances that are false. Appearances that are purchased in boxes of hair dyes and such.

Also there is just the crap about the workplace too. Since I wasn't customer facing at my last job I would dress down most of the time but dress real nice maybe one time a week just to show the managers I was capable of it and that I wasn't socially/professionally incompetent in presentation lol. I think it rather worked considering there were so many daft very young people coming in with those cut-out yoga pants that are not only skin tight but have see-through areas, it was pretty ridiculous.

I don't think I feel so much pressure to keep up my appearances to appease those who see themselves based on something phony, and yet there is always some social pressure.

Definitely it's nice to dress up and see a friend, there is something to it, I'm not poo-pooing it entirely. It's just that I've not got much use for facades it bores me and it's a lot of work for nothing.

I'd rather sit in the dirt and garden or paint something or make something. Being pretty and looking good are not things I'm very good at nor do I derive very much joy from it. Maybe I've just got a bad attitude.

I've gotten used to the cost saving home haircuts. There was one nice haircut I had long time ago and I wish I could have it reproduced but I don't think it's too likely.

I'm rambling.

All in all people want to feel their best I guess. For some that means looking in the mirror and getting a certain kind of reflection back. I'll admit my reflection is sometimes gross these days. Just yesterday I was so disgusted with my random up pointing stray frizz hairs that I smoothed some hand lotion on them because I don't keep a lot of hair products around. I mean it works so why not.

This seems like a silly topic, HAIR, it's sort of is and it sort of isn't, I guess it represents how a person presents themselves to the world.
