I like my hair cut a certain way. Usually shorter on the top and sides, buzzed on the sides and back, no sideburns. I get my hair cut this way every time I go to the hairdresser. I guess this is just strange to the person that does my hair. I remember him saying to me that he’d be so excited the day I asked to keep my sideburns. Oh great, I thought. Now I have to keep getting this hair style….. forever.
Why would I need to keep getting the same hairstyle over and over again? Because. Because if I eventually asked to keep the sideburns -even though I think sideburns are hideous- it would seem like my other haircut was just a phase. And I, Max, do not do phases. I change the the way I get my haircut eventually, but I do not do phases. The problem with changing my hair cut after my hairdresser said that thing is that he would be associating changing hairstyles with a change in way of thought….. which would be a phase. And I don’t. DO. PHASES.
When I went to get my haircut a few days ago, I decided to ask for a tiny, tiny change in the way my hair was cut. Usually after I get my haircut, I think it’s been cut too short and it takes a few weeks for it to get to the length I want it at. When I went to the hairdresser’s a few days ago, I asked for the hairdresser to only cut it a little bit. That means not really buzzing the sides and back and using scissors instead. Even though I asked for really short sideburns, the hairstylist took this as my getting out of a phase. He went on to be all cheerful and was like, “I knew you’d change your hair someday!” GAR!

Every time I go to get my hair cut, I change it in some dramatic way. I used to have no bangs, and suddenly I wanted bangs. No layers, to layers. Then back to no layers. And now, I want the layers back and different bangs. Maybe it’s a phase – maybe I just get bored with the same hairstyle. No, it’s not a phase. How can the way someone cuts dead cells from your head be a phase? That stylist of yours has it all wrong.
