Here, baby, there, mama - everywhere, daddy daddy HAIR!

I have a hair dilemma.

A while back, probably when it was late spring or early summer, vlindenhauer shaved the back of my head and left the front long. You know, edgy. And it was cool.

But it's kind of high maintenance, because when the shaved part starts to grow, I get all kinds of cowlicks and sticky-out parts. And every time I go to get the back shaved and the hair trimmed, whoever does the shaving invariably shaves more and more of the hair parts. So now the shaved part is not just in the back of my hair, but is creeping its way forward. I'm afraid to keep getting it done because they will keep screwing it up in an attempt to "fix it."

Going to see vlindenhauer is out of the question because sadly, the punk shouldn't be subjected to four hours in the car so I can get a proper haircut. Sadly. Unless he wants to come visit! ;)

So now I'm in this weird place, where I REALLY need to do something with my hair. I either need to brave the haircut place again and get it trimmed down, or I need to go to a haircut place and see if they can come up with SOMETHING that can be done with half of a shaved head and half of an angled bob (like, a way to make a transitional haircut or something?), or I can just shave the whole thing (free haircut!) and start over or hang around with a shaved head again for a while. I do have to jobhunt at some point in the future but hey, this is the Happy Valley after all, right?

So... your thoughts?

i think we need to see pictures.

[judecorp.livejournal.com]

Your command is my wish.

[changinglight.livejournal.com]

pictures would be helpful. but my thought is that i would try fixing it with the professional haircut folks and if that's awful, going in for the buzz :)

[judecorp.livejournal.com]

Thanks. I put up some pictures for you.

Go buy a Flowbee and make it all the same length! (hybrid of choice #2 & #3)

You know, there was this guy I went to high school with who cut his hair with a Flowbee all the time. And it looked okay, you know? And then he decided to go get a real haircut for the prom and he got there and the hair stylist immediately said, "What the heck have you been doing to your hair?!" Heh.

i lurve shaved heads.

[judecorp.livejournal.com]

Why?

[artjax.livejournal.com]

Because they feeeeeel gooooood.

Also, you have a pretty ok shaped head. I wouldn't normally recommend shaving of the head unless you have a pretty symmetrical one.

[judecorp.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I was a little concerned the first time. You never know if you have a funny-shaped head until you do it.

[judecorp.livejournal.com]

You should totally just do it. I think everyone should do it at least once. It's quite exhilerating. :)

If you're interested in a local haircut place that might be able to help, I recommend Ochoa in So. Hadley, near Mt. Holyoke College. I had gotten a variety of cuts there, and so far have not had a bad haircut! Robin goes there now and she keeps her hair really short in an angled-bob sort of thing, and she also really digs it. Good luck! :) Jill
