You Lookin' Good!

Who ever decides what looks good as a haircut and what doesn't any way? One day last week I woke up to the most unruly head of hair known to restless sleepers. Had no time to mess with it other than put a little de-frizzer on it lest it remind someone instantly upon sight of me that the Einstein look is still fashionable. During the course of the day I received more comments on how cute my hair was since the time I first had my long wait-length locks of brunette hair chopped off as a senior in high school. What gives? I mean, granted, some people could have secretly been harboring the all too honest thought of, "Poor child, looks like she had a long night", or "Guuurrrll...you were on your way to lookin' good when you got your hair cut, now you just need somebody to help you out with the stylin' and profilin' part!" But honestly, I think most people really liked it. Don't get me wrong, if less stress and a little mess get me by then I say "Lord bless"!

But then there was today. Ten people--I kid you not--said my hair looked real good and asked if I had gotten it cut. After number four I wanted to release my inner child and scream out, "I DIDN'T DO ANYTHING!", but figured that would not be appropriate given 1) my age, and 2) the simplicity of the topic at hand. Once again though, the hair decided to do its own thing. I didn't tweak it. I didn't argue with it. I even let it part a little more down the middle than to the side in memory of the fact that my father no longer even has hair down the middle. It did its little curl under thing without aid or assistance and without ever even asking me if that's how I like it done or bothering to let me know whether this was a once in a lifetime look or if it might actually decide to be accommodating for a change. I think all the attention kept it in its place.

Today was a more orderly traditional look. Last week was going for the wind-blown-I-paid-a-lot-for-this-look look. Both received complements. I wonder if they were from the same people. If so that might be a personal issue! I think I'll work on a mullet look and see what snide remarks--if any--or inquiring acknowledgements--if any--I get from that. Then again, may be I should just learn my lesson and let nature run its course! Hmmm, what will tomorrow's hairstyle be....
