rue-madame's Diaryland Diary ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Splitting hairs Haircute is just that, but I�m beginning to think I�ve got to invest in a ceramic flat iron if I want sassorific bangs. Everyone is raving about this one, but I don�t want to spend that much. I�ll only ever be ironing my bangs, so do I really need to own the ne plus ultra of ceramic flat irons? (5 years ago, I would have said yes.) Right now, with a sofa looming on the horizon, I�d rather be frugal. My current East Coast hairdresser seems to think I can get by with a cheapie $30 iron from Target. In matters of cut and tools, I have absolute confidence in her. I will take her advice. In color, however, I do not trust her at all. You will remember that I was interested in shaking things up by taking the color of my hair to newer, darker heights? No sooner had I mentioned wanting to do something like this, then out came the color sample books and photos of the stylist�s latest work. Evidently in the sleepy hamlet of NH, stripey, piecy, late 80s-early 90s bright color is in. I am not kidding, but the salon owner said I would look good with purple highlights. PURPLE? I HATE PURPLE! Gingeryette, how much do I hate purple? I know you feel me. I may just get myself some dark henna, pile the mud on my head, tolerate TA�s snarky �Hey shithead!� comments and see what happens. Can�t be any worse than the spectre of dated bright purple streaks in my hair. I think my SF stylist was right: some folks cut, some folks color. Very few stylists can do both well, so it�s best to see specialists for each. 11:13 a.m. - 2005-05-17 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
