Hair Do's and Don'ts



I have always had short hair. There was a month or so in my life that I could put my hair in a single pony tail, but that didn't last too long. Generally, I have sported a boy's haircut. In fact, recently I think my father and I have the exact same cut. My bangs may be a bit longer, but the concept is spot on.

I had not-so-short hair when I got married--it was clear past my ears. Soon after the wedding I cut it all off again. My husband tried to be supportive, but really, he didn't love my short hair.

"I always dreamed of marrying a girl with long, dark hair" he said. I think he hoped I would cancell all future hair appointments and morph into his dream girl.

"Huh," I said, "I always dreamed of marrying a millionnaire. How about you make a million bucks and this hair is any length you want it?"

Since then, he has only complimented my short locks.

I love the cut in the pic...hot.

I cut my very long hair very short and colored it soon after I got married and have heard nothing but, "Man, I remember when you had long blonde hair..." ever since.

I don’t think you have your analogy quiet right. If your husband had been a millionaire when you married him, and then shortly after mirage he quit his job, and elected to have a job with ordinary income then the analogy would be a righteous argument.

I think what you did is referred to as “the bait and switch”.

I don't think hair that isn't even shoulder length is much of a bait!

I'm still laughing about this and I read it yesterday. I love hearing your stories!
