Bad Hair Day as Predictor

Posted by partlycloudy on June 9, 2004, at 7:55:08

OK, I'm sorry to shut out the baldies in our community, but I have a question for those with hair: Do you find that how your hair turns out in the morning is a predictor for how your day will go?

I read Dinah's thread on Psych about her new "do" and it got me thinking - always a dangerous thing. In the first place, I'm hardly ever happy with my hair. It's too limp, it's too fine, it goes in wonky directions, it relies heavily on hairspray to make it through the day. It's been permed, coloured, braided, curled, highlighted, lowlighted, conditioned within an inch of its non-life. It's been short, it's been long, it's mostly in between.

I perspire so heavily in the morning after my shower that it takes a lot of effort to dry my hair. My hair dryer is getting a work out as I blow without heat, with heat, without heat... until I finally get ahead (ahem) of my sweating skull. If I pay no attention to my hair, I look like my hair lied down and is playing dead. People ask me if I'm feeling ok, because it sure doesn't look like I do. (That's also known as "the weekend".) Most days I am frustrated by the effort I put into making my hair presentable, and I mostly try to glue it into place with Freeze and Shine so I can leave the house, dog gone it.

I own an arsenal of hair products. If it's for sale, I'll try it. I have a basketful of rejects so I can accommodate any and all hair styles. At the moment, the routine is: shampoo, leave in conditioner (my hair gets fried in the sunshine here), styling mousse, then hair spray. I have tried it all.

But - on those rare days - when the stars are aligned correctly, the humidity is low but not too low, my hair turns out satisfactorily. On those days, I not only start out in a good mood, but it lasts all day. What is the magical connection between being happy with the hair-do and with happy with the rest of my world? I swear, the traffic parts like I'm Charlton Heston, the flowers smell lovelier, the cat doesn't shed as much - everything is better if my hair turns out.

It's not like I'm wearing rose-coloured glasses on those rare days - my hair really does turn out better.
