I'm VERY naughty!
I go very very long between cuts.
BUT THEN... the last few haven't been so great, so I spent time 'growing out' the butcher job because I just couldn't bear to cut a single centimeter more off the 'length'.
I find the biggest problem with MY hair is this: MOST hairdressers haven't a clue how to cut it. They are NOT accustomed to my hair length (which reaches past the middle of my back, almost to my waist).
I tell them over and over: square across the bottom/back (not rounded, not V), long layers, NO razor, NO thinning, NO thinning-shears.. just old fashioned sectioning, layering from the bottom going up, using the bottom as the guide line going upwards.
And yet... they screw up my square and round me or 'v' me AND/OR the layers aren't done right, and I end up with 2 'sections'. One that ends below my ears as if they plopped a bowl on my head, and the other past the middle of my back because they TRY to layer as they would shoulder length hair. YOU CAN'T.
EXCEPT this last trim.. which just needs a smidgeon more done around the face.
It's one of the hairdressers where I now work. A young 23yr old feller. He heard me ranting at the Manager about the last time I'd been butchered (because you could tell I was OVERDUE for a trim and she asked, and how if I can't touch my length when I reach around behind me, I BAWL like a baby
and that I do like to use rollers occasionally, so it can't be a straggly-razor MESS! I MUST have sectioning! Anyway... he heard me blathering on, explaining how they screwed up.
Then offered to do it for me. I looked him straight in the face and said "don't make me cry at work" HAHAHAHAHAH
He consulted me nearly every step of the way hahahaha And now... it's pretty good. Someone that actually LISTENED!! LOL
When he was combing it... he mumbled "oh my gosh, I can see why you can't put rollers in it"... he found the 'mess' the other idiot had done.
The other bozo had the great idea of 'attacking' (because that's EXACTLY what he did, no warning, went against what I said and suddenly whipped out a razor and 'debulked under the first few layers while I sat there telling him to stop) and saying to me "it's to give you lift at the top" and I said " YOU IDIOT!! It's too long, it WON'T! It's too heavy!! It'll go flat anyway because of the rest of the length"
SO I still have to grow out some of the mess 'underneath' but at least I don't have a bowl on my head anymore!!
OH and at the shampoo sink... LOL If the water isn't as hot as they can take it, and the scrubbing doesn't take ALL their muscle... yeah.. not a great shampoo LMFAO I like it HOT AND HARD.. (I DO mean my shampoo hahaha)
