Toumina's Journal, 08 August 2018

Ladies, I know you're gonna feel me here.

I'm Becky with the good hair. I'm the girl you see with that amazingly thick hair down to her waist that always has that kinda bedroom look to it, the kind that complete strangers approach me in the grocery store asking if they can run their fingers through it. Now, I know this sounds vain but damn it, I don't have much going on in the body department, I'm average in looks, and my hair is my thing. It's the foundation of a good deal of my self-esteem, my identity. It's my security blanket.

I went to my long-time hair stylist last night for a color and a "trim". She's done my hair for years, and I've never had a problem. I was specific about what I wanted, like I always am. She knows me. She knows how I like it cut. And I tip very well.

I don't know what she did. I don't know how she did it. But she layered my hair in such a way that thinned out the bottom of my hair so bad it's like I have a bob in the front and really thin wispy hair like a tail in the back.

It's a freaking overgrown mullet. It's so bad and uneven, I have to have it cut again just to make it look like something normal.

I ran to my neighbor who is a stylist and asked her what we could do. We have a plan to fix it, but all told, I will have lost 16 inches off my hair.

And... I'm getting married in two months.

I know it's not the end of the world. I know there's so many awful things that could happen in life and this is small in the grand scheme of things and that I should be really grateful that this is the extent of my problems, and I really am.

But it's all I can do not to eat my feelings right now.

Omg, i have my own version of that story, except my hair is not my thing, but the mullet from a longtime stylist, check! I am not vain, especially about my hair, but it took literally 5 years to correct, and i called every month for 7 or 8 months crying until it could at least be evened out. I FEEL you!!!! I am so sorry! Um, i mean, at least you will have a really healthy head of hair for the wedding...?

Walk those feelings out! Stomp, pace, rage.. until you’ve cried it out and won’t grab every single food item in sight. And I know how you feel. Imagine waist length hair... and having to shave it for chemo so I wouldn’t look like I had mange. I felt betrayed by my body for getting cancer and I have a feeling you feel betrayed by your stylist. She knows YOU, YOU told her what YOU wanted. Moms stylist did it to her a few times. Google was/is my friend as my mullet grows out. Lots of different ways to style it online. For your wedding, think updo. It won’t be perfect but a good stylist can put it up in a way that makes it look like your hair is still long. Until then I recommend nature’s bounty hair skin and nails. I use the gummies and my hair grew 1/2-3/4” most months!

That's rough! I'm sure getting married in a couple of months makes it that much more stressful. I agree with Peeperjj, walk it out, work it out, punch it out, exercise can help relieve stress so much and is much better than walking out your feelings. I'm sure in 2 months when you're getting married you will have figured out a great style and will be beautiful.
