I went to see my corrective surgeon for the 11-month check-up on my nose. At first, I had to go in monthly, and then bi-monthly. This appointment was a three month check-up, but the next is in 6 months!
Anyways, my doctor kept looking at me strangely, for the 3 minutes that my appointment took, and then finally asked my favorite question, "Is you hair different?"
Actually, it is. It is always different. Everyone seems to delight in telling me that one of their joys of coming in to get their hair done at our salon is to see what my hair will look like. Of course, the change in my hair has been entirely of a length-related nature.
This January it was shorter and red, and kind of flippy. By March, it was longer, flippier, and a dark goldeny blonde with really blonde and light brown highlights. As this year has progressed, it has come into it's own in the soft goldeny blonde it's been all summer and fall, but instead of being barely able to tuck behind my ears, it is now long enough to cover those same ears and touch my jawl.
In time, should I withstand the constant urge to chop it all off, it will be long enough to wear up in pigtails, my true, true reason for growing it all out.
Except, Dr. Aly was really only wanting to know about the color, because after I told him it was different, he asked, "Didn't it used to be red or something?"
Of course it was. Of course.
