Did I speak too soon?May 31st, 2006 @ 9:28 am
Have you read the short story by F. Scott Fitzgerald called Bernice Bobs her Hair? It’s all about this girl who tells people she’s going to bob her hair, which causes quite a stir with her friends. Because back in the 20’s it was crazy to bob your hair. I guess. Then she bobs it and runs away.
Or something like that. It’s been a long time since I read it.
What I’m getting at is today I feel like Bernice.
When my stylist friend called yesterday and asked me to be her hair model, she talked about pink hair and craziness. But when I showed up at her salon I realized I wasn’t getting the pink hair. Since she was teaching a class, she had a very specific plan for me. Which didn’t even include fire engine red hair.
She did mention something about “star points chunks” and “Aveda Red #306″, which isn’t even close to fire engine red.
So while my hair does look very pretty. It isn’t pink. It isn’t even sort of dramatic. But heck, it was free.
And as soon as I can get this sleeping baby off of my lap and take a shower, I’ll take some pictures of the new, but blah hair. Then you can all comment and say things like, “Sorry it’s not pink. But I like it all the same!”
Because I’m feeling really sad about it.
(Maybe I should pay real money to get pink hair. Now there’s a thought!)

“star points chunks” sounds very exciting, is it not?

I think star points chunks are the latest. Did they map out the big dipper on your head? You may need several shots from different angles.

I’ve had pink in my hair before! A few times actually! I love doing that… I’m actually going to put pink in my hair again next week! My beautician is really awesome and has done it for me a few times.
Can’t wait to see the pics!

I’m still dying to see it!! I always love seeing people’s new hair. I’m sure it’s much more dramatic than you think!

that is fancypants! and pink! (what were you saying about it NOT being pink?)
I don’t want to be a hair model for cuts or colors, just for updos and other non-permanent things. Is that possible?

My mom is a salon owner/stylist and I’ve got the most boring hair EVER; I’m sure she’s disappointed I didn’t get that wild hair streak she has. I like the new color.

“Star points chunks” does not sound like coherent English to me. I guess I’m not up on the latest stylist lingo. Or something.
But I like your hair. It’s not boring. It’s subtle. Plus, think of this - maybe if you had come home with fire engine-red hair, or bright pink hair, Baby Boy would have burst into tears and wondered where his mommy went.

I love it! It looks elegant yet has a come hither look! You can see them well. I have often had burgundy highlights chunked into my jet black hair and it looks just fabulous! Have someone take a picture of the back of your head and you will see the dazzling chunky sections real well.

Is you scalp red, too? Trust me, be glad it’s not extremely, uh, EXTREME, because as soon as it grew out it might have looked nuts! Hope to see more pics soon!

I love it - the red looks awesome!!
I got new hair yesterday too - it’s pretty “safe” though!

It actually looks a little pinkish to me, but what do I know? My daughter’s hair looks purple to me but she swears it’s called ‘Intense Auburn’. Perhaps I’m hair color blind.

I loooooove that color.
You have hair worthy of a pantene commercial.
And now, I demand more pictures of Bob.

OH and my maternal grandma was one of those girls who got their hair cut in a bob in the 20’s. She did it for her 8th grade graduation. The class had their photo taken. The priest told her she was the only ugly girl in the pic — because she cut her hair!
Can you BELIEVE that? Just had to share…

Love it. They look like highlights!
My natural hair color is medium brown, and one summer I had the stylist alternate between carmel and red highlights. How I loved the red so!
