The self confidence after a haircut is like a drug. Only lasts like two days though. Hmmmm that gives me an idea. Three haircuts a week? Chase that dragon?

Microtrims were fashionable for celebrities at one point. If more frequent maintenance helps you feel good and you can afford it go nuts

Maybe if I go with eating... or housing

Good call, it’s what I always choose

Be like those old ladies who don't wash their own hair, they go to the salon three times a week for a blow dry and a gossip.

My problem is it looks great for like 2-3 weeks but then you need a trim around then keep it looking good, but its not really long enough to justify a proper cut and the 35 bucks or whatever it is that they charge us.

I can't remember the last time I had a haircut under $100!

Huh. And here's me grumbling the last time the kids and I got our hair cut and it came out to $80 for the three of us.

This is why I grow it long enough for a ponytail and trim at home

[–] TinyBreak@aussie.zone 4 points 7 months ago
