    Re: The crowning glory of going without a haircut for a year!

    I've had long hair since high school and haven't had any form of a hair cut since 2004 (a trim), before that it was Jan 1995 a few hours before ds#2 was born I was in early labor while getting my hair trimmed but didn't say anything cause the contractions were 15-20 min apart (we left the salon @ 8pm, I went to the hospital @ 2 am and he was born @ 3:30 am). 

    Dh has managed to go 2 yrs without a hair cut before I started misbehaving by doing things like braiding his hair whenever he dozed off during church. He started getting large snarles that he wouldn't (or couldn't) brush out so I finally sat him down took out my clippers and scalped him. When I finshed he said that he felt like Sampson and I took all his strength away when I cut his hair.

    I have fragile hair. It splits and breaks easily. I do much better with short hair.

    I keep my hair short and I can keep it looking nice. I have found a stylist who cuts my hair perfectly. She also doesn't want to perm my hair. She did, however, change my hair color. I'm happy now that I have heavily frosted blonde hair. I have the right coloring for this color hair. I was a blonde when I was a little girl.

    People say that I look better and younger than I did. I think it's because I don't have the stress of taking care of Mom 24/7 and because I have a good haircut.

    Back before I had health issues, I could trim my hair in between a good haircut.

    I have had my share of bad haircuts. I once got the haircut from ---- at a beauty school when the student gave me mini micro bangs.

    The last time I got my hair cut was almost a year ago.  I had shoulder-length hair and got it hacked off to chin length, but then she got after it with thinning shears . . . Never again.

    I looked like a boy.  I went to work and proclaimed that I was never getting a hair cut again.  My boss looked at me the other day and just out of the blue said "so, you were serious, huh . . . "  I was baffled for a minute and then he reminded me about my proclamation.  Huh?

    Now my hair is down to the middle of my back and the only thing that gets cut is my bangs, and that is by me in the bathroom.

    The part that really kills me is I now have fabulous, gloriously thick, dark hair.  If only it was on the head of someone that knew how to fix it up nice.

    A computer once beat me at chess, but it was no match for me at kick boxing.

    dixie1596:
    lots of moms that have boys, hormones go crazy!

    That would explain the rotten mood I was in starting right after giving birth to ds#1 and why it lasted till dd#2 was born 16 yrs later, here I thought it was the boys stressing me out!
