Get the Shampoo

Coco Chanel once said, “A woman who cuts her hair is about to change her life.” 

I just cut my hair. Not so sure about the life changing, but then again I’m writing this while sitting at a booth in Panera, which has never happened before, so, who knows. 

I love getting my hair cut. A couple of years ago I started getting a shampoo, too, and that, my friend, is a game changer. Get the shampoo, girl! It’s so worth it. The head massage is the best part of the whole thing. For five minutes I’m so relaxed I could fall asleep. Then comes the haircut part and I leave looking fabulous which means I feel pretty darn fab, too! Getting a shampoo and haircut is my version of going to a spa. I recommend doing this about every other month.  

Growing up I would let my hair get long enough to donate after it was cut. I did that three or four times I think. Then after I went into high school I just left it short. I would get a haircut whenever I felt like life was getting too crazy. I still have that mentality. Today’s haircut came after growing my hair out for a year. I do like it long; I have beautiful hair, not to brag, it really is pretty. But long hair is work – the hair washing and styling, it’s too much for my lazy self. So it ends up in a pony tail a lot of the time, which is not that pretty. Anyway, last week I was feeling overwhelmed and decided the hair had to go. Unfortunately my guy at the Great Clips was off that day so I had to wait. 

That’s another good lesson – when you find a good hair stylist, stick with them. Marco is the only guy working at this Great Clips and just happened to be the person who cut my hair the first time I went there. I went to this Great Clips because it’s closest to my apartment. But the stars were aligned because this man can cut hair! And he gives a great head massage.
