So it happens that every 5 years or so I get sick of my long hair and go searching for a cute maintenanceless hairdo.
Of couse this doesn't exists but I do it anyways and spend the next 3 months trying to look stylish but not waking up early enough to succeed. The next 9 months are spent with my hair tied back to hide a haircut that was passable short but ridiculous long.
For some reason this year I was more ambitious than ever and thought about getting a pixie cut. When I told this to friends they informed me that not only was styling the haircut obligatory but so was putting on makeup. Failure to do these things would result in looking like a boy, something that has happened to me even with long hair. I saw the wisdom in their words.
So I settled for an inverted bob. Everyone loved it as they always do because styling comes with the cut. I told husband to wait to till the next day to know what he was really going to be living with for the next year.
The next day I got up, washed my hair and air dried it as usual. It didn't look that bad. Kept it's form without any effort. Could it be that this finally I was living the dream? Cute, short, maintenanceless haircut?
I arrived at work Monday morning with hair washed and air-dried as usual. This was the real test. French people are outward judgers.
"Love your hair, you look very Parsienne".
Dreams do come true.
