I ran out and got a haircut today because a good friend of mine is crashing at my house for a few days, and my hair was looking pretty ragged. Like, caveman-esque. It moved past being able to write it off as an ‘eccentric writer’ thing and ended up in the category of ‘unpleasant to gaze upon.’
The lady who cut my hair apparently did not think my forehead was large enough. She randomly shaved a big swath of hair off of both sides of my forehead, and it’s a good inch and a half wider. Why in the world would you do that? She turned me away from the mirror to do it so I couldn’t watch her, so it feels vaguely malicious, but that’s probably just my shame talking. It looks horrible.
I am going to put a hat on now, and it’s not coming off for weeks.
