On Creativity and hair…. September 12, 2006

Sooooo….I have pretty much had the same hair cut since I was 15. I chopped my hair off back then because my volleyball coach had this awesome hair cut so I went out and got the same one….well..my hair was different then hers and on me it looked not so awesome. I had my hair done by the same woman since I was about 5. I loved her she did a great job. I decided I would eventually have to move on anyways and this trendy edgy salon moved in next door to my sister work and they were doing a great job with my sisters hair so I started going there. I love them too. They are all young and “cool” and you know “know” cutting edge “style”.

So Tasha used to cut my hair…see my other post on haircuts….and then she quit to spend more time with her boyfriend…and Jason took over for her…well I like somone with style and confidence….Jason lacked confidence and he lacked the peopel skills. He insulted me and I told Brandy and Martina the owners and now Martina cuts my hair. She did a great job. Amanda does my coloring. She also does a bad ass job of styling my hair. I love it when she blows it out for me. So like I said I have more less had the same hair cut since i was 15 and grew my hair out. I have long hair with layers. I lack creativity with hair. I like hair on other people….but with my own. I stick with what I know works. Long layered and blonde.

SO yea I get bored with it…I have a very flavorful personality…why not hair…I never do colors. I am over short hair…i did it when I was young–long is so easy. So this winter I decided to see what i looked like dark all my sibblings are dark…if i hadn’t done it I would have always wondered. So I went dark…I am a blonde. I was enjoying my long blonde hair. I always trust the people who cut my hair..a. because i am very picky who i let do my hair and b. because they know a whole hell of alot better what they are doing then i do. and c. they are trained in this they know hair they do it all day I let them create they are the artist. I wish they would just do what they do and make suggestions on whats best for me and help educate me through the process. I tell them I am bored…but other then a few bangs…same ole long layered blonde hair…and I love it.

The other day i get offered the opperunity to be a hair model. Basically i get a bunch of perks and oppertunityt o do something neat with incentives and a sevral hundred dollar haircut and a promise it wont be to out there or to short. I am down. It is just hair it grows. Sooo it was an awesome experince i met a lot of very nice people who are very talented at what they do. But they frirst of all dyed my hair dark again..and put blonde panels in it… I am looking like rogue from Xmen here and my dad is telling me so…then cut off a ton…i mean the length is KINDA there but the hair is sooo textured and layered i have less hair then when I cut it when i got pregnant. I know it is just hair but i am frustrated..and i think it is more so with me then the hair and it is all coming out on the hair. Sure I wish i was more creative and could pull off funky fun hair…but I think i keep learning…stick with what work when it comes to hair. I never seem to be happy with it and now I have to spend like another hundred dollars to go back blonde….

I am tierd and depressed I am heading to bed…but one final thought. So Martina and I were talking about women who never update thier hair and have really outdated hair and still rock the same style after like 20 years and she said that women who do that are wearing the style form the last time they had really good sex and the associate the really goood sex to being attractive and that with the hair cut/style. Being a psych major this interested me. It got me to ponder the therory.

I don’t know that has a whole lot to do with creativity as so much as insecurity…anyways…i am off to bed. I will write more later on my project ideas. I had two stellars ones and I have like 4 subjects jotted down to blog on. Teasers: food:Stir-crazy, Creativity vs. Style, Creator and Creation-Image of God and Man, Alice, My mom and a Box.
