Before and After: A Hair Razing Experience
Deb had the idea of taking before and after pictures of me when I was going to get my hair cut a couple days ago. Seemed like a good idea to me, especially since I was finding my hair especially hard to control, even though I have had it longer many times.
Apparently I did too good a job of brushing it into place for the picture, because it doesn’t look that bad.
By the same token, the barber didn’t cut it as short as I really wanted, which was “regular men’s haircut, very short, but still combable; not quite a crew cut,” so in the “after” picture it looks like there is little difference. Believe me, it’s a lot shorter and easier to control. I just don’t like the job the barber did, beyond that it’s an improvement over how it had been before the cut.
Next time I’ll try to go back to my usual barber, rather than a more convenient one the next town over. It’s just that it’s an extra 2 - 3 hours of my time to do that, between the drive and the long wait.
Looking at the pictures again, I think it’s also a matter of perspective. The after shot is more of a closeup.
Anyway, here you are, rare pictures of me, rather than Deb or Sadie. At my messy desk no less. Click the pictures for larger versions.

Why take 2-3 hours of your time (plus gas!) when Deb could cut it for you with one of those “buzz” electric thingies. Get the long “guard” on there and start mowing!! Really. My husband loved my cuts!! He was a tightwad, tho!!! LOL
Sadie: Missed you today!
