For those of you still thinking I'm not
female, this should convince you. I spend way to much time worrying
about my hair. (Well, it is the only thing you wear every day.)
I had it the same way for 20 years (over 24 inches long, all one length)
and then in 2002 had about a foot of it cut off. I just went in
and told Mark at
77 Maiden Lane
to just do whatever he wanted, and that is what he did.
So it was shoulder length for a while. Then Mark talked me into
highlights, including a streak kind of thing. Some days I thought it
looked cool, others I thought I looked silly with highlights.
Then a year later, Mark was out, so I went to Massato, the tournament
chess-playing stylist who likes to talk about London and his latest art
projects. I also told him to do whatever he wanted. See, I
figure they are pros, I should let them do what they think is best.
He hacked even more off and gave it that
messy-all-the-time-but-no-really-I-planned-it-that-way look. Later
he added these bangy wisps that hang in my face. I'm still not sure
if I like it.
The thing I do like, however,
is that he recommended going back to my real color, since he doesn't think
highlights are "appropriate for Winter". Here is the play by play:
Like other female MJ Issei, I had some long-ass hair. (l to r: Peachy, Munin, Zemlet)
