new hair do

i went and got my hair done for the first time wednesday...

i got it dyed and cut (pretty majorly...5 or 6 inches)

before the appointment i told my cubemates about it tuesday.  wednesday rubina was all excited for me so she said something about it.  i didn't turn around until rubina started laughing and said "kyle's not ready yet."  everyone has a level of control over hair.  apparently even co-worker's.

but yesterday they both approved.

Why?  Because it was time for a change.

-i don't love dealing with long hair in the winter.  ex:  scarves, static, etc.

-this is the time of year when the sun stops naturally highlighting my hair (because i'm not in the sun as much) and it starts to look like i highlighted my hair and now i'm growing it out... roots.  not attractive.

I have a few questions for people who go get their hair dyed and highlighted every few weeks:

#1 HOW???!!?!?

#2 Aren't you bored?  At the end I was SO ready to go, I basically jumped out of my chair.  I am too impatient for that.

#3 How do you find it relaxing?  People say it's so nice.  Maybe it's nice for 20 minutes.  Then it's not nice anymore.  It's time to go.

#4 How do you afford it?  I went to the Aveda School (so it was cheaper and they did a nice job), but I still found it expensive.

So yeah, it was fun and different, but I think I'm good for another 5 years or so of not doing it again.

p.s. it seems to be a pretty big hit and it can pass as natural.
