Oh, Mullet!

So I got my hair cut, right, and I've been getting mixed comments from a diverse set of people:

1. Lesbian. Yes, this had to go first. It hit home so bad I still feel like my brother's fist hit me right between the eyes. No offense to the LGBTQ community, though! I love, support, and respect you with all my heart and my friends can attest to that. I just didn't expect it; much less from my brother!
2. Younger. Oh, really? Yay me, then!
3. Mature. What? Make up your minds, friends.
4. Dancer. As in the likes of hip-hop (for lack of better term?) dancers. I dunno, must be the "swag" that comes with it? Haha!
5. Rocker. Again, it must be the swag? *sigh* This remains a mystery...
   

NOT!!!

As a tribute to my hair for surviving both pleasant and harsh comments straight from the hearts of friends and (frenemies, haha kidding) for the past six days, I finally confirmed what style my hair is sporting now: mullet! I know, it was big with women of the 80's (Cyndi Lauper was one of the wilder pegs) and not in this decade, nuh-uh.

Somehow I wanted something different and all I told the stylist was to keep the length, add body, and layer until my head feels lighter. And it did feel a lot lighter after cutting most of the outer part of my shoulder length hair almost to the bangs-level! Another thing, the peg from previous blog entry is definitely what my hair style is now! Haha!

My friend Jacob helped me to finally identify the closest and most appropriate (should have been) peg: THE RUNAWAYS!

Kristen Stewart for The Runaways (2010) with her role as Joan Jett.

Well, my hair's not as razor-snipped-layered as the photo above, but a thick set of locks like mine with a little over the ideal amount of poof calls for fly-away-in-all directions kind of style!

Now I get why some said "rocker" look!

I'll post a decent photo of my so-called Joan-Jett-inspired-but-not-really hair as soon as I get enough hours of sleep so I don't look like I've been sporting the wasted-ish rocker look. Because I'm not. My eyes just happen to have the natural "smokiness" to it; also known as eye bags. HAHAHA!

So this will be it for now.

P.S.

I've been so stressed, emotional, and anxious today. This entry has been very therapeutic.

Impulse Killed Dilemma

To cut or not to cut my unbelievably thick hair has always been a question I've battled with for years. I can't keep it short because it's hard to manage the fly-away in all directions. I can't keep it long because it's still hard to manage because length and volume is bad combination for hair. Haha.

THE PEG:

Of course, I never really expected my hair to turn out like this. Blonde. Haha! I mean, this is staged. And my hair's too thick for a 'do as short and sassy as this. But I like the layers. I haven't been this vain in a long time. It's literally been years!

Haircut done out of impulse... Well, sorta. It usually takes me at least overnight to decide. I thought about just trimming my bangs, as usual. And mind you, it's only my bangs and it took me more than three days.

Ack. This is too much. :-S

Randomly, the thought about chopping my hair into a different style came to me yesterday morning, and hello, in less than 12 hours, I've lost this much hair! I can't believe it, too! Haha.

All together now! LOL.

P.S.

I wish my hair is blow-dried everyday. I kind of had a hard time keeping it neat and tidy today after my first shower. A few more trial-and-errors and I hope I'm good to go. See, this is why I need to think this kind of thing over. Hahaha.
