I realized right before I left town for my camping trip that I’d forgotten to have my very long hair cut. It had gotten quite long:
Sure, long hair’s fun and all:
But it’s not so great for camping in hot weather.
Luckily, my roommate S thought she might like to try cutting it! This was a good plan, because it would be immediate and free. First, S sorted my hair into pigtails (btw, I don’t actually have any skin imperfections – I know that looks like a big zit, but it was probably something weird on my camera lens):
Next, she drew a line on my neck about where I wanted my hair to end up. See the line there? And then started to cut.
The cutting went on for a long time:
At one point, I looked at S, and she looked sort of crazy, or maybe like she wasn’t really so sure how to give a professional haircut:
I began to get a little worried and frightened:
And then, S got the scissors stuck in my hair and it took us awhile to pull them out.
But finally, the job was done:
The hair ended up pretty close to the line we’d drawn, and it was almost even on both sides! I was happy with the cut’s efficiency and freeness, and would turn to S again in a pinch.
