Nonsense! As I said, I had just come home from the hospital. I was
standing on one foot and trying to trim them. I wasn't angry at all but
loopy from all of the meds I'd been given. I wasn't able to cut them
straight so I just kept evening them out.

I am not the sort of person who does destructive things when angry. I might
yell or swear. Usually it is more of a growling noise, if I even do that.
But most things don't even make me angry. For instance, I don't get road
rage. There are some things that I just see no point in getting angry
about.

I most certainly wouldn't pull a Britney Spears and start attacking my hair.
That wasn't what happened at all! I was just sick of the hair in my eyes
and thought I would be able to trim a little off until I could get to the
hairdresser. I also figured if they weren't perfect, it wouldn't matter
because I wasn't going anywhere. Until the following day after I'd had some
sleep and awoke to realize that I had in fact cut them off almost to the
roots. But I also discovered that there is a word for that. Micro bangs.
And they were popular at the time. It's not a look that appeals to me.
It's all rather moot now though, isn't it! Except for the fact that I know
that I should never attempt ever again to trim anyone's hair.

I wound up losing most of my hair following the surgery. From what I have
read it was either the strong antibiotics or whatever they gave me during
the surgery. Long story short there, I wound up having to get my entire
head of hair cut far shorter than I would like, but most of it has grown
back.

And I could tell you that it's not hard to change the oil in your car. Do
you do that? It's not hard to sew your own clothes. Do you do that?

I do color my own hair. I have been doing that since I was 12. But I am
not doing anything difficult there. My last attempt at coloring it light
pink was an epic fail. I wound up with a weird, splotchy, bright orange
shade and it did not wash out in 3-4 shampoos like it said. Somebody on
Facebook dared me to do it and post a pic following my taking a quiz that
said that pink was my ideal hair color.

I do not normally do weird hair colors although I did use burgundy mousse
back in the 1980's. Normally I just stick to my own shade to cover the
grays but when I was younger, I would do highlights. I still sometimes do
but generally not.

I also do my own nails. I've been doing that since I was a kid. I know
many people who don't do there own.

If I have a desire to do something and I seem to be good at it then I will
do it, or at least try it to see if I am good at it. I do not like cutting
hair. I do not like styling hair. Which is why I go with the wash and go
style now. I don't even blow dry. I had my fill of that back in the 1970's
and 80's. I used to perm my hair and go through all sorts of things with
the blow dryer and curling irons. Until I finally hit on a good
hairdresser. He was actually a barber and came recommended to me by a male
friend. He worked at a salon so I had no clue there. But he did know hair
and he eventually let me be his guinea pig. He did fabulous things with my
hair that required very little maintenance. Alas, he decided to leave the
area.

But... I now know that with the right hairdresser who gives me the right
haircut, all I need to do really is wash, condition, rinse and go. I do use
a few additional products such as something for body and a coconut curling
cream. My hair is naturally wavy when longer and slightly curly when short
like this.
