Die Frau mit dem verruckt Haar

I'm going insane. I'm at my wits end. Attached to my head is a sad excuse for hair. It's not straight, it's not curly. It's not thick, it's not thin. It's in between all the rights and in all the wrongs. I need a new look. A big change, a new do. Coming to Vienna has been eye opening in more ways than previously mentioned. Long hair on me is limp and lifeless and full of split ends. Calling all Hair Gurus- as the Beatles said, "HELP!"
I can imagine what most of you are thinking. Let's take a walk down memory lane to last December. I dyed my hair brown and promptly had a mental breakdown. How could I help it? It was drastic and faded to a sad shade of rust. Red hair, I love and wish I had. But this was nothing natural. In attempt to be bold and to do as Felicity does, I'm looking for a new hair style (though in retrospect, Felicity's haircut might not have been such a good move on her part). Perhaps this will transform me into something more than my 15 year old facade.

Answer me this, why can't I be this fabulous?







You know the saying, "A penny for your thoughts?" Well I'll give you more. In exchange for words of wisdom, I'll make you a pact. If I cut my hair, I promise not to cry. Or tell anyone that I'm going to die. If that's not enticement enough, I don't know what is.

    This is a cry for help. I would wait till you to return to U.S. Before doing anything major. However, maybe you could find some fab haircutter over there to give you a new look. I do love all the short dos you posted. Just remember that it takes years to grow back.

    So brave! I commend radical experimentation when it comes to hair - no matter how disastrous the result, your head will fix it, all by itself, with a little time. But you'll have to be ready to live with the consequences if you don't like it! Even so - a good excuse to buy yourself some "fab hats" as you might say.

    Perhaps you should try on a short wig first and wear it for a week or so to see how you like it.

    Given the mental breakdown you referenced when you dyed your hair, I am not sure you are ready for something so drastic just yet. I think it would look great, but maybe you should try a short style first that is not quite so short (perhaps chin length). It definitely was life-changing for Felicity, but she also grew her hair out right away.

    I think cutting the hair sounds exciting. Why not go for it.

    I'm not sure I would recommend it-I don't want to spend every lunch next semester commiserating over your loss of hair.
    I do however like Mom's suggestion-try a wig!

    I recommend cutting it there! Save the rest of us from hearing about it until you come to terms with your new do. :) I'm sure it would look fab.
