I Have Husky Hair… SIGH…

So, one thing most of you don’t know about me is that during the pandemic I finally stopped dying my hair. After over twenty years of coving my grey/white hair I’d had enough! And, ironically, most people think I dyed it this color as it is a current trend (all-natural baby 😁). But I’m lucky in that my new natural color is quiet lovely (phew 😮‍💨). 

Another thing most of you (including close friends) aren’t aware of is that I have my hairdresser practically shaving my head now 😮! As of today, she used a razor with a #3 blade on top and zero blade on the side (yep it’s that short 😊). And I love it! I have had so many complements, mostly from women, who love the short look. I think I may have convinced one woman to do it herself, but gradually like I did – it’s a lot for someone to do all at once! I’ve had a few men comment, but I find that many men I’ve known over the years have a weird obsession with long hair. Of course, they’re not the ones who have to stand under a dryer for 30 plus minutes in the heat of summer, but I digress. Side note: my ex was one of those long hair junkies – something about grabbing it during sex 🤮. Not that I would let him – that shit hurts 😡.

So, what does that have to do with having husky hair? Well, aside from the color and shortness, my hair seems to have gotten increasingly thicker and coarser 🙄. Once my hair starts to grow out from this cut, it will feel like I have an undercoat 😆. Even this short, you can see how thick it is and the amount of water it holds, outrageous. Ergo, I look like I have a husky living on my head 😁.

When it comes right down to it though, I love my look, husky hair and all 😊. Because I am so much cooler in the summer, it takes less time to get ready in the morning, does not require a blow dryer (YAY) and I ROCK THIS STYLE! 

Therefore, if you are thinking about taking the plunge and cutting back your hair, I say go for it! Big steps or little do what makes you happy. And in the end, it’s only hair – it’ll grow back. If it’s like mine, it will take not time at all 😜.

Self-deprecation – it’s what I do best!
