My hair now costs $100 an hour to bleach/dye/cut. Whatever I have done, thats the cost of the time. Ususally is 2.5 hours every 7 weeks. Plus tip. So. Say 300$.
I am at $130-$150 a month. That isnt even shampoo/ product for at home.
Having good hair isnt cheap!
I also dont know that I would do chemo and lose my hair. I too am my hair. And without it I may as well be dead.
I only ever had about 5 or 6 years of hair obssession, when I was in late teens, early twenties. It never did me any good, my hair always looked like shit. Not the color or texture of it – I was fortunate to inherit straight, shiny, thick, medium blonde hair – but the shape of it. I never got a really good, pro-quality haircut until I was in my 30’s. I’m still hair-lucky…now that I’m about 50% gray, the color blend doesn’t look like old lady hair, it looks like I’ve spent a fortune on highlighted streaking or whatever you call it. Strangers ask me where I get it “done.”
And now that I am an actual old lady with this embarrassment of riches growing out of my head, I couldn’t give much less of a shit about it, but I wonder how much longer my hair-luck will hold out. I wash it with the cheapest crap I can find at the drug store, dry with dryer, (it’s just at shoulder length, blunt-cut), forget about it. I don’t even use conditioner, swear to God. Lather, rinse, repeat about every 3 days. BUT – if I went bald for whatever reason? Tragedy. Not because I’d mind being hairless, but because I’m pretty sure I have a really bizarrely-shaped head that’s kind of flat in back and pointed on top, like a pencil.
I don’t think I’ve ever before written in such volume & detail about how much of a shit I don’t give about my hair.
Sister, I’m liking the hair. It’s truly fabulous. I never thought of having hair that long at my age, you pull it off! I do want ice blond hair. But, it would easily be $300 a month to keep it that way. So, my grey hair is my natural highlight. Hair is everything. When my mother, two sisters and I had a hair bitch out around my father he would say “shave the damn hair off,” that settled that.
You ‘lay-dees’ do make life difficult for yourselves! I walk into my barber’s shop, plonk myself in the chair and say, “No.2 all over!” 2.3 minutes later I walk out with smartest, shortest stubble you have ever seen – outside of an army barracks, that is!
I have fine thin crap hair and have hated it my entire life. Now I’m 50 and it’s worse. My kids have kindly pointed out it’s got that frayed old lady quality. It’s mousy brown and I’ve developed a thin white streak in front. Maybe the only good thing it’s ever done! I’m too poor to afford $300 per month hair but man lots of people do it. I’m obsessed with those Mounir hair videos on Facebook where they turn a gorgeous dark haired woman blonde in 60 seconds. I guess we all just want what we don’t have, but I have yet to see the Swedish women turned dark videos. Where are they? What I wouldn’t give to have thick flowing hair to my waist. Not going to happen in this life. Hair is everything.
I come from a family of people blessed with good hair. Black, lustrous, thick curls, check. Thick, dark brown, straight hair, check.
I of course have none of the above. I have a weapons grade cowlick in my fringe, which means it never lies flat, thin, reddish hair with a dreadful kink in it and a double crown.
My only option is to have very long hair or a short bob with no fringe. I’m the latter currently. I have to wash my hair every day, although I have barely any grey and fairly shiny hair, (all three strands of it.)
I’m so jealous. I’ve never had hair longer than my shoulders, mostly shorter and curly.
