Hair Thursday will be postponed until next week, giving Whoorl ample time to mourn the loss of her dearly beloved subtle layers, resulting from an extremely rare miscommunication with her unbelievably awesome stylist. She requests time to become acquainted with her new Ann Wilson quasi-mullet hybrid.
Currently, Whoorl’s mental state is touch and go. She was last seen drinking many glasses of wine, repeatedly murmuring “Is this your doing, Ramón? Is it? I’m just trying to understand, are you my magic man?”
Whoorl’s front quarter sections of hair will be dearly missed. Respects may be paid throughout the day in her comments section.
Hey Nancy, is that my hair twin?

Good thing about hair, at least it grows back.

February 21, 2008 at 5:58 pmPS: It was horrible after the first child, and even worse after the second. ugh. Finally back on birth control and the universe is once again re aligning….
PPS: I actually love the ponytail on Wito. I sent my youngest to school with a barrette once- when his hair started falling in his eyes. Everyone has horrified. I thought it was cute. Couldn’t bring myself to cut it, and when I finally did, I’ve hated every cut he’s had. I don’t know what to do with boy hair…

Yes, I hear you on the horrible period thing. They have a product in Germany called “dolomorin für frauen” and it beats anything in the US hands down. If you want me to send you some I sure will !!

February 22, 2008 at 5:00 amLike you could ever look bad…Two things in common for me and Whoorl – 1. I asked my stylist to make my shorter, less and less inverted bob “flippy” – thinking it would be easier to style and now it’s kinda just cut up at the bottom and i’m not rockin’ it as much as i’d like, in fact I want to just cut it blunt and have it be short (and did i happen to say I’m going on my first date tonight since my divorce???) and 2. bad period.

February 22, 2008 at 6:41 amHoly sh*t, I love that you let me know I am not the only one that’s supposed to be a *grown up*, whatever the hell that is, about The Hair. A bad cut is like a bad hair day for weeks? Right? It’s like walking around with a huge, picked at zit for days. You just KNOW everyone is pointing and laughing. You feel naked, dare I say, vulnerable. Except, where I’d like to think that the fantabulous Whoorl could actually GET a bad cut like I can, alas, you still look hot.
I’m still mourning having 4 inches cut (hair is sill 2 inches below shoulders), and my style is *basically* the same. But IT. IS. SO. NOT. And even my Super Sensitive Husband is so over my asking him “how does my hair look”, when I style. *sigh*
Hang in there. Do you like hats?

February 22, 2008 at 6:34 amMy periods feel like I’m giving birth each month. It’s even worse after the second so no, you aren’t going crazy. Doeden said to take plenty of Ibuprofen during this time to help with ALL of the various symptoms.

February 22, 2008 at 7:00 amThe look on your face in the photo is, indeed, priceless. Have you considered acting?
The best thing that can be said about hair is that it grows back. This from a woman who has had her fair share of regrettable “let’s chop it all off” moments.

February 22, 2008 at 7:31 amOn the plus side, you look so young and hip that should you be so inclined, you could totally rub some pomade-y wax product in there, sleep on it so it’s good and rumpled, muss it up some more, put on some huge ironic sunglasses, and compete in the Hipster Olympics.

February 22, 2008 at 7:35 amDear woman, your hair is hot! I think it must be impossible for you to look bad, and while I’m experiencing a bit of jealousy towards you (I sometimes don’t even like my hair after a GOOD cut!), I’m happy to read that the quasi-mullet is something that you are totally rocking! Now you look like the owner of a guitar named Ramon!
Suggestion… next time you’re going to cut your hair, and drastically at that, make the Hair Thursday for YOU and get your readers to vote!

I hate it when the stylist Fs up. You still look great though, your hair is too pretty to look bad. Do the bangs turn into wings when you wear a ponytail, though? Because that would kind of suck.

February 22, 2008 at 10:33 am*giggle* I hate, HATE the misunderstandings with hair peeps. Its awful. I once went in to cut off my very long hair to my shoulders…yeah, apparently I spoke a different language that day b/c it was cut to my ears. ..MY EARS. Me and short, short hair are not friends at all and I ended up looking like an 8 year old tomboy. (or… I guess I could say, me as an 8 year old…)
And with that purdy face?? You still look great…and yes, when the hair settles, it makes ALL the difference.

February 22, 2008 at 12:48 pmI HATE when that happens! I am sporting a new doo myself and not quite sure I like it. I’ll email you a pic…

February 23, 2008 at 2:06 amOh honey, I feel your pain. I live in Korea, but don’t speak Korean, which makes all professional grooming a bit of a walk on the wild side. The last time I had a haircut, I said what I thought meant “subtle layers”, but apparently meant “I’d like to look as much like a crack ho as possible”, and my stylist generously obliged. It was horrible. Horrible I tell you. That was in October, and I still haven’t been able to get another haircut because of the PTSD.
Having said that, yours really isn’t bad. Not what you wanted, but sometimes getting out of our comfort zone is just the nudge that we need to achieve true greatness. Good luck figuring this new “do” out.
