Courage Doesn't Always Roar:
​The Quest to Be Better Each Day 

#SOL21 Day 6 of 31- Hair

3/6/2021

It is a happy day here because my stylist is coming to m y house this morning! She began coming to me last June, when it was impossible to get an appointment at my usual salon and it had been months since my hair was cut and colored. Getting that first cut and color had felt magical after months of roots and hair needing a shaping. 

In the fall, I went red.  All of the pictures looked so beautiful but on me, I felt like a stranger. At first it was REALLY red and my kids recoiled. It tamed a bit through washings and people around me said they liked it.....but maybe they had to say something because there was obvious difference. I didn't feel like myself so I went back to dark brown hair at my last visit. 

Today, I will get highlights to lighten my look and maybe my spirits. With spring on the horizon, I feel like it is the right time to go lighter in every which way.  I look forward to the snip of the scissors and the crunch of the tinfoil while I await transformation. 

I always loved getting my hair done but now after months of shutdown and the realization that nothing is guaranteed, I am ever more grateful for this moment of self-care and luxury. 

How did your hair fare in the pandemic?

Oh, what a luxury. Not only the haircut, but the home visit! Relax and enjoy the luxuriousness!

I am yesterday called my hair salon and scheduled a Sunday 2pm appointment! Next week we begin in-the-building teaching with my students and of course want to look good! As I ended the scheduling call , I also felt so grateful that I am taking time for myself. I don't color (yet) but my hair has never been this long!

I wish my stylist would come to my house! My last appointment I canceled two weeks ago due to a spike here, so I am overdue. Here you get a great head and shoulder massage too- ahhhhh! Enjoy!

I feel the same way about getting my hair done. We also have a stylist friend who comes to our house. Little luxuries!

This is so cute/interesting. It's true that even things that I can think of as trivial on a daily basis are so crucial to our identity - like our hair! It reminded me of the few times of my life when I've straightened my hair. Other people (except my dad) actually like it, but I hate it precisely because as you said it doesn't look/feel like me. Thanks for sharing.
