Don't mess with the 'do!

Finally got around to getting my hair sorted, I've been walking around looking like the shabby farmer I mostly am, but I've always been particular about my hair. Some women can't even leave the house to get the mail without putting on mascara, and I am certainly not one of them, it's perfectly normal to meet me at the grocery store wearing the extremely dirty/smelly/dusty clothes I've just been to work with, most likely without makeup and with my hair on end. But, while it may be on end, I hate not being able to go home, wash it and fix it into something cool. Safe to say I've never had my hair very long, either. God knows I've tried, but by mid-neck I get incredibly bored, march to the hairdressers and demand that they chop it off post haste. What I have had, however, are short spiky hair in every imaginable crazy shape and color. "Experimental", some would call it.

Those of you who like to experiment with cuts and color, or is just particular about your hair and has to go to the hairdressers often, know that it can be a horribly expensive deal. Worry no more, I have the solution: Team up with an apprentice hairdresser. If you, like me, live in Norway, most salons have apprentice hairdresser who will cut and dye your hair for half the price, and some times even less than that. I've paid everything from €70 upwards to €150(!) for a wash, cut, cure, dye and styling. What I paid today? €21!

Being particular about your hair most likely makes you a person that notices cool hairstyles that you like in pictures and so on: cut them out, take it to the person cutting your hair and point at it. Makes life easier for both you and the person with the scissors, and misunderstandings become virtually impossible.

Or you can do like me and just say "do whatever the hell you like". Not anything I'd suggest doing if you don't know the hairdresser, or he/she doesn't know you: in this particular instance she's cut my hair several times before (and I've been very satisfied), and she knows me, and what I like. And here's the result!
