conulyI also hate having my hair cut.
It's a dilemma I solve most years by going as long as possible until I can't stand it anymore, fussing for a while that I need to have my hair cut, then grabbing a pair of scissors and a pair of hands and insisting they cut it as *short* as possible so as to maximize the time between cuts. (Consequently there are a few weeks where my hair looks a bit stupid, but it's worth it.)
Usually I have my mother cut it, but this time I reached "fed up" in the middle of watching TV with Jenn and Eva and had Jenn cut it.
And my mother was surprisingly upset. "You're preparing to live without me!" in that "not quite joking way" and... I mean... I would not have actually put it that way but I guess so? She's in her 70s, I doubt she'll outlive me, so... yeah?
Sigh. There's a strip in the back of my hair where it grows down my neck but not actually on my spine, just ever so slightly to the left of my spine and it drives me absolutely batty after my hair is cut. There's no way to deal with it until the hair grows out over it a bit. Even shaving only works for a little while.
