Cutting My Hairs

Yes, it’s true. I cut ALL my hairs. (As opposed to just cutting one.) And I’m happy with it. My head is lighter; I use less product/time in the shower. And I feel rejuvenated. Funny how a haircut can do that!

I was thinking of cutting around an inch off – just a trim. Scott’s girls said they always cut more than you want them to, here in Taiwan. That’s ridiculous!! I’m the paying customer. But Scott took me to a member’s shop. (The mother of Kelly, who helped me learn the way to church & was part of the sleepover at the hospital.)

The overall experience was wonderful!! Kelly washed my hair as I sat in the chair – they didn’t have me put my head in a sink until rinsing the shampoo out. Different, huh? And I got a head massage as she scrubbed my hair. Then I got a shoulder massage!! That was fabulous.

She held up a comb with ruler markings and asked how much I wanted cut off. I ended up choosing 4 cm. Yeah, I know, a little more than an inch (actually an inch & a half). I don’t think they took more than that off. It’s a bit shorter. I like it though. It was getting long! I haven’t had it that long since 10th grade; and it was starting to bug me.

I couldn’t bring myself to truly chop it – I love the ponytail option. It’s so nice to be able to pull it all up when I’m totally sick of it or totally hot.

So, there you are. My first hair-cutting experience in Taiwan. Another great thing – it was $200 NT ($6.50 US). Here’s a picture. (Just kidding. I don’t feel cute enough to take a picture. Maybe later.)
