2000: trim extremely short during beginning of the year before progressing to the gate of hair liberty. (My high school is a girls' school. The school rules permit hair not longer than 2 inches below ear robs. Why do I remember? Because we had bi-annual test on our school rules.) Back then, Jessica Hsuan hairstyle in Tian De Hao Qing was so cool. My girlfriend and I dare each other to do it. When both of us did it, I could not remember what were the responses from friends. But, we definitely looked like "Ah boy" in the school uniform.
Fast forward to 2009 year end - long hair.
2001 - 2010: Basically bouncing back and forth within the long hair region. (Long hair region is in between bra line and waist line) Perm my hair for twice = bang my heads against the wall for twice. I thought I was in hell because I had to diligently wake up early to blow my hair. Though I look bored/lifeless with the crazy frizz going around my head, I still keep my long hair for a few reasons.
1. Donkoi likes girl with longx3 hair. Most important one.
2. The most beautiful crown on a woman head is their long silky hair, according to xxx man's magazine. I just want to be loved desperately, may be.
3. Shampoo commercials.
4. Like to hear, "Your hair is so long, yet so straight." (who doesn't like praises like this? wink*)
5. Everyone around me does it; it is like a mini competition to see who get the longest hair sticking to their head scalp.
6. Try to camouflage the fact that I talk louder than guy and laugh without a grace.
7. My queer hairdresser adores redundant jobs.
Occasionally, I curl my hair.
10th April 2010: I went to three barber shops to get a hairdresser, who was free to attend to my hair. New Shop, new hairdresser, new adventure again.
I was less protective of my hair than usual that afternoon because I thought I looked extremely boring in the mirror. Even my favourite dress cannot cheer up my day, a reformation sounded like a good plan.
Thus, I told the hairdresser while pointing at a magazine cover for April 2010, "I want this hair style." Then, the long winding started again - your hair blah blah blah beautiful, should dye or trim it or may be curl it, etc. "Are you done?" I whispered in my heart. "I want this hair style."
After half an hour, I became like this.
* cheng* cheng* cheng*
50% of people gave me the "Oh, what did you do yourself?!" expression; 40% of the people blinked their eyes twice before they could form a sound; 10% of the people said: cute/youthful/similiar words. Even now, everyday after work and I am home, my mum still says, "You look funny." (-.-): The hilarious of all - Donkoi had to use both of his hands to stop his jaws from dropping when seeing me on the video call. hahaha.
