Pruning My Topiary

A minor decision to make a major move…….I got my hair cut……..SHORT. Much to the surprise of the lovers of my hair (and not the lovers of me), I decided it was time to stop frightening myself on night dives when my hair had the tendency to sway back & forth in front of my face as if to scare the living daylights out of me. Coupled with the consideration of making so many dives this year, I thought it would be the most practical thing to do.

Alex, the stylist, asked me twice, “Are you sure about this? No regrets, huh??” I replied, “No, Alex. I’ve been wanting to do this, in YOUR hands, I commit my hair….(and looks and style and the next three years). I was under the shears for 2 hours. My waist length hair was chopped off & slowly but surely, in his hands, I told him I wanted Charlize Theron’s hairstyle in Aeon Flux. He had no idea what I was talking about. Okay. My confidence was not about to waiver in Alex’s experience. So I described the style to him. Far from Charlize, I look like a secondary school girl instead………critics & comments welcome.
