About 3 weeks ago, I decided to go and get a haircut. Tight budget, saw £12.50 and nice salon, went in and booked appointment.
My hair is really thick, grows heavy on top (whatever stage its in I always look like one of the Beatles if I'm not careful) I'm 51 by the way and consider myself lucky with such good hair as a few of my friends have already started that dont go out in the wind approach. Its hard to mess up my hair with a bad cut.
She asked how I liked it and she clipped away, ended up using those bulldog scissors and a blade to straggle it up. It looked ok. I rode home on my bike and went straight upstairs to wash it (cheap deal with no wash after)and as I washed it, I was gutted to se that most of my hair was in the bath!
She had scalped me. I could see my scalp at the front. It was so course and spikey... I was mortified. But dealt with it. Brushed it this way and that, (what was left of it) no jell or anything did any good as this made it go in clumps and reveal my head even more...
3 weeks down the line... my hair is dull and knackered. You'd think it would have been happy to get cropped back like that but its really in bad health. It feels dry and brittle and the long hairs (from the bulldog scissors) are wirey and pubey. Does anyone have any suggestions to bring it back to its healthy state? And why would a cut ruin the texture? The only thing I can do is wait for it to grow, and it is, but still looks miserable and wirey.
