30 Days: Day 10

My hair is purple! My new thing last night was having my hair cut and colored by a woman I work with. She was a hairdresser in a former life and we'd spent many a boringly slow lunch hour discussing the ins and outs of cutting curly hair. Some of you may not know that curly hair should be cut while dry. The sad part is is that most hairdressers I've encountered don't know this either! Also, testing the bounce of the curl is very important, lest one's hair come out a *great* deal shorter than anticipated. And all that talking was worth it, because for the first time in a long time, I'm happy with my haircut. It wasn't cut too short, it has a great shape, and the colored glaze she applied has turned my hair the coolest color of dark eggplant I've ever seen! It's all comic book badass girl hair color that looks dark, but glows purple-y around the edges in the light. Plus, it's super shiny and that makes me happy. Well done!
