Who cuts your hair?

Wednesday, June 13, 2007 4:33 PM

Oh my goodness!  I had to share this quick story from today.  As I was leaving my realtor's office today, she asked, "Can I ask you a personal question?"

Now...you know, as a woman who wears hair, my mind went into panic!!!  Oh no, I thought, she knows...gosh, I thought my hairline was right when I attached, what happened????

Biting my tongue and trying not to choke on the HUGE lump in my throat, I replied, "Sure, what is it?"

"Well", she hesitated..."Your hair always looks soooo wonderful, I was wondering if you would mind telling me who cuts it?  And...do you have it colored?"

BAHHHH haaaa haaaaa haaaa!  I almost hurt myself trying not to laugh my head off!

My response?

"Wow, thanks very much, that's soooo flattering!  I actually have a special stylist near Lancaster in Pennsylvania.  I have her cut my hair whenever I feel the need to spoil myself a little bit and believe me, when it's done, I feel fabulous!  My hair is colored a bit, but I have no idea what colors they use!"

She sighed as she muttered something about not being able to find the time to travel that far for her hair.....I just didn't feel right telling her that I don't even have to travel there for it, it just shows up regularly in the mail!!!!!

Gosh I'm a lucky, lucky woman!

Have a great hair day,

Babe

About Babe with a Mane

My natural hair has not been seen for over 20 years. It has hidden under wigs and weaves, under toppik, colored sprays, couvre and dermatch. My growing hair is a significant burden. It takes too much time to try to fix it up to be presentable, too much money to try to fix, too much energy to worry about and conceal. Every day, I used to wish for great hair. Every day I was ashamed of my thin hair. Every day, I woke up feeling confident, feminine and sexy inside. Then, I looked in the mirror at my natural hair and those positive thoughts were robbed from me. My natural hair forced me to feel unattractive, timid and insecure. I know who I am inside and I wanted to project that image to everyone else. To do that, my hair had to change. Women who are bald or have very thin hair, are not considered "socially acceptable" in the general public's eye. I wanted to be considered socially acceptable, my natural hair wouldn't let me. My dream hair allows me to lead a normal life. I wake up to my guy nuzzling my neck while my soft hair is brushed aside. I jump in the shower to wash my hair. I look in the mirror to see a confident and sexy woman, looking back at me. I don't waste hours trying to disguise myself to fit in. I blow dry and curl my hair and go to work with a spring in my step. I don't catch others staring at my thin hair while trying to have a conversation with me. The same confident, self assurance that I feel inside is now projected on the outside. There are no further internal battles between true persona and an incongruous outward appearance. I am finally, after a lifetime of dreaming, able to project an image that reflects the confident, sexy, intelligent, feminine woman I truly am.

Not born with hair, but I've got the intelligence to find it, the job to pay for it, the patience to "stick" it on just right, the will to make it work, the confidence to wear it boldly and the smile to wear under it!
