sinanju1. Is your hair naturally curly, wavy, or straight? Long or short?
Naturally wavy. I get it cut infrequently, and one of the signs that it needs pruning again is when the wave reappears.
2. How has your hair changed over your lifetime?
It was once very dark brown. Now it is salt-n-pepper, moving relentlessly toward a state of all silvery-gray (we start graying early in my family). In the 70s (God help me), it was...massive is the only way to describe it. Not especially long, mind you--but very, very thick.
3. How do you normally wear your hair?
Moderate length, not quite long enough to require a part (like the wave mentioned above, one of the signs that I need a haircut is when my hair gets long enough to require parting rather than combing straight forward.
4. If you could change your hair this minute, what would it look like?
I have no particular desire to change it. Trying out a new color (for a few minutes) would be amusing, but I have to desire to change it otherwise.
5. Ever had a hair disaster? What happened?
Since I get my hair cut infrequently, whenever I go to the barber, I make a point of telling them to cut it short, not just to trim it. I once went to the same shop I'd been visiting (infrequently) for a few years and discovered that it had been taken over by someone new. I gave my new barber the "cut it short" spiel. Unlike every other barber I'd ever had, she took me quite literally. By the time I realized how short she was cutting it, it was too late to do anything but sit back and let her finish.
When she was done I looked like I'd justs gotten out of Marine boot camp.
