Nooo hair, blub! Beauty Care

I got my hair cut on Friday, from just-above-bra-strap length to just above shoulder length. I brought a picture of Ms. Heidi Klum sporting the above super cool long choppy bob with me to the hairdressers, and was very clear that the one thing I did NOT want was hair that just sits on the nape of the neck and flicks out of its own accord.

Well, it's not quite what I asked for - in that it's exactly what I wanted to avoid. Yup, it kicks out at the back of my neck. And, while I didn't expect to emerge from the salon in the image of the blonde goddess, I equally didn't expect to to be channelling my inner Claire Danes circa My So Called Life.
Exhausted and frustrated and feeling like a nerdy Samson, I actually broke down crying on Friday night.

I'm still not used to the cut, but I'm going to go product hunting tomorrow to find something to funk it up.

Le sigh.
