A Hairy Story

So I loved my long hair

(yes past tense) 

but it was too stinking hot and humid here for me to actually do anything with it

I couldn't curl it and leave it down

it would be crazy and fluffy within an hour

One time I even tried to straighten it....

let's all just laugh together at the epic fail that was. :) 

hahaha

so I decided to cut it

yipes

I showed the hair dresser these pictures

and told her i wanted the longer length but with the cut of the shorter

so like a longer/mid-length a-line

easy enough right? 

wrong! 

lame

I came home with this

I'm not sure if you can see but it was two very distinct layers

(this picture doesn't even make it look half as bad as it was 

but it's the only picture I've got of the before)

it was like she put the two haircuts I showed her one on top of the other

and when I curled my hair it looked crazy! 

Two distinct weird layers

so....I just cut it myself

Cut that bottom layer right off

So here's were we're at

the length will grow

and then I'll just get it cut again

Moral of the story...

Only go to hairdressers that can fluently speak the same language as you

Sorry little Korean lady

You were really nice

but you had no idea what I was saying

and to be totally honest...I didn't know what you were half the time either :) 

Does anyone have any pointers for getting your hair cut and avoiding having an experience like this? 

(besides speaking the same language :) 

How to actually say what you are wanting done?
