There are tasks for which I have quite an infinite amount of patience. Perusing the shoe tables at Dillard's weighing the respective merits of peep toe pumps versus sling back kitten heels. Reading Enlightenment philosophers for clues on how to rule the universe. Baking tray after tray of cupcakes. Working with dogs. But I have about 1.5 seconds of patience for anything that has to do with my hair. I am just so not invested in it. Hell, I even begrudge it the time I spend in the shower washing and conditioning.
About three times a year (what do you guys go more like six?) I manage to haul my ass over to my hairdresser, who does the whole tsk-tsk girl thing with me before expertly scrambling for the power dye and shears. Snip snip blow blow spritz spritz, in a few tortuous hours (during which I am at least able to catch up on some crap reading) I am once again possessed of a perfectly coiffed, perfectly colored head of hair. All day long – and much of the next in fact if I don't wash it – I just thrill myself silly with how super duper magazine cover ready my hair looks.
Until I wash it. Doesn't matter if I memorize every single move my stylist makes with his brush and blower I am never able to mimic his mastery. And truth be told, I wouldn't want to if I could, it just takes so much damn time. So what do I do? I spend the next three months pulling everything back into a ponytail and leaving it at that. So by the time I get back to the salon, it's that tsk-tsk shit all over again.
You know the only haircut I ever loved that loved me back? This one:
I should really give up hope that I will ever, ever be able to make long hair work for me and just go back to my roots.

CA-ute hair cut!But I must disagree, your hair looks great. thick, curly, healthy and Un- fussy. don't change a thing.
I can't stand fussing either-wash.wear.
I loved your comment...
" 'Cause honey, when none of us still "feel (we) need the dignity of wearing shoes," it will be the fall of Civilization as we know it."
Very very very cute cut. Definitely a statement. Bossy made a similar statement when she had a crewcut, but unfortunately that statement was "holocaust surviver."
Shut up. Your hair looks fantastic. All the time.
