Hairy stuff (but not Hairy Git).

[puddingcat]

Talking (well, MSNing, which is as close as I usually get) to redshira last night, I'm getting more enamoured of the idea of cutting off all my hair. I'm not *quite* brave enough to go for a 2" crop & bleach what's left all at once, but I do quite like the idea of something Too Short To Put Up.

I don't want one of these styles that's gelled flat & sideways to the face at the front, and spiked up at the back. Nor do I want anything that requires skilled use of a hairdryer to keep from looking dreadful; I can just about blowdry a fringe straight, and do the upside-down-with-mousse thing, but anything that requires 3 elbows per arm is beyond me. I reckon I'll need a fringe, since I have a narrow face. My hair tends to stay flat to my head down to the tops of my ears, then has a definite kink from there on - and in the last inch, however long/short it is. Realistically, this icon is my day-to-day hair - fine and refuses to go properly straight.

Does anyone have any style suggestions that won't make me look like a middle aged potato? I have a fear of getting suggestions from haridressers, since they're all painfully trendy or drearily frumpy, or so alternative I'll be asked to stay at home until I look normal again.

Well, lots of people in the Bermondsey Collective tend to get marnameow to cut their hair.

Are you still up for coming down this weekend? If so, you could ask her in the flesh? Or see if she has some ideas, rather than going to a "real" hairdresser?

I was going to suggest what he just said! :)
