You hair is
an accessory that you wear every day.
This is an accessory I like to ignore for
possibly days at a time and since I still want to look cute and not like a
wild animal, I take the time to get a really good haircut.
I highly
recommend a good haircut (and color if you are in to that - which I am) and when I say “good”
I mean “quality” which could then translate to “pricey.”
I have had a “good”
(read: “pricey”) haircut at times and even though it looked great when I washed, dried
and did it – if I didn’t do all three of those things each day it would look like
crap. And since I am known to choose ugliness over doing my hair some days I
have learned to get a more “wash and wear” hairdo.
So now my “good”
haircut really is. It is versatile – looks nice clean or not so clean, looks
nice when I “do” it, and looks nice simply just washed – not even dried. It hangs well and is acceptable at any stage.
For me, having a little bit longer hair (past my shoulders), makes for lower
maintenance - so don't assume shorter or simpler is necessarily easier.
I have also
had cheapy haircuts – even in the exact style that I know works for me – and sadly,
it just never looks quite as good – the ends don’t look as nice as long
and need more attention.
I would rather spend more, get more, go less often, and look better longer. And my stylist gives me wine so that's worth a smidge too.
P.S. I also
highly recommend skipping the idea of highlighting your own hair. Just go with me on this. Coloring all your hair at once –
may be okay, but highlights? No. Is this
a job for professionals? Yes.
