I Do Not Usually Write About My Haircuts. For Some Reason I Write About My Most Recent One. I Really Like It.

Hi, I find this highly unusual to write about a haircut of mine. For some reason I really like the way this haircut turned out. Once I leave the salon I just never know if I will be able to style it the way it was intended to be styled with the haircut that was created if that makes sense. One day my hair styling works and on another day it is ok, but not up to par with what I would like. I tend to be a bit of a perfectionist (not in a bad way though I just like order and uniformity if that make sense.) You can ask anyone that has ever cut my hair and they will tell you that I do have an eye for detail. I catch things that are off in the cut and I will share what I think to get it fixed if that makes sense.
If something is not textured just right; or there is too much bulk hair in an area of the back of my hair; if the bangs are not chunky/spiked enough; I like a certain look. Hey I was willing to take on a variation of my hairstyle. Once my hairdresser suggested taking the bang area around my forehead a bit shorter so as to open up my facial features I said ok. It was tried the first time slight variation to see if I would like it. I did and then shorter and a bit more dramatic the next time.
I also have been known to fix my haircut or trim it in between haircuts. If I am going somewhere and I think it is a bit too long on the sides; around my ears I like a clean cut not shaggy looking; my bang area grows out too much. Guess what I do? Yes,I trim it myself. I have a pair of scissors I use along with one of those safety type of hair cutting razors and I begin to texturize. I do I really do. I do let my hairdresser know that I did it and it is funny when I share that with them. Then there is the scheduling of the next hair appointment and we try to decide the amount of weeks to schedule it out for since we base it on the growth of my hair. I just say in a silly way "You know me I have the razor and I will just trim it if it is needed."
Why am I sharing all of this? I guess it is ok to be real and honest with certain aspects of your life. I remember many years ago I think I was in high school. I was impatient and could not wait for a scheduled appt. or maybe there was not an appt. made so I went to a local shop and that was the very worst haircut I received. All I remember about it now were the words "that haircut was a chopped haircut." Not is a good manner of speaking it was a not so nice haircut and I will leave it at that. At one time we went to a salon in which the originator/owner of Matrix hair products was owner of this salon. Those were always superb haircuts and a salon that knew how to take care of their clients. I remember the kindest lady, I believe her name was Ruby, and she was one of the assistants that washed your hair. I am sure great gratuity gifts were received for doing that job. She knew how to treat customers. I had a hair stylist that was very talented and eventually moved to CA. I believe this salon applied my makeup and styled my hair on my wedding day. That was fun and I think I did a trial run with bringing in my veil prior to that day to see how we were going to style my hair.
Another stylist I then followed when they eventually moved to another salon. I believe it was this stylist that asked me if I wanted to be a hair model at a Matrix Hair Products/Stylist convention for a technique in hair coloring. I said yes and that was when the look was a shade darker on the bottom portion of your hair and a shade slightly lighter on the crown area of your hair. It was a short and sleek looking haircut and that was my introduction to hair coloring. It was fun. I was not a model in the sense of a runway model. I was in a salon chair and stylists came to this class to learn this technique.
I probably would have never colored my hair I do not think if I never tried it. Then I had another hairdresser that I would tell her how people always complimented my hair color as it was about to be colored again. She was so kind to me she told me exactly what to do with mixing hair color formulations to get just the right color. You see, I cannot take credit for the haircut but I do color my own hair. It is not that I am opposed to a salon stylist coloring it but I know what I have formula wise works for me. When I feel like adding a bit of softness to my look I do go to a salon to add highlights softly around the crown of my head. Do you think I should have been a hair stylist. Probably not because I would find it hard to create a look for a person that I did not think was as becoming on them as another style that I know would work well with their hair and personality and better compliment them.
Maybe men do not have to worry about things like this or maybe it is the bit of perfection in me. I like to look at it as the creative flair side of me coming forth. Very interesting subject for me to be writing on isn't it. I guess this is me reaching beyond my comfort zone and stepping out in faith.

I do have an eye for detail and it was a Fall Wedding and I incorporated wheat and dried flowers in the bouquets. I wanted a soft yet dramatic look so as to be captured by the photographer in regard to the make up application. Do you notice the lit candles on the wedding cake? I must get this trait from my mother. I had to go a few times to the seamstress for them to get the sleeve fit just right. My mother also has that attention to detail. I am thankful for that.
