Where'd your haircut come from?

hahahahaha! my haircut is a non-haircut! i have long (waist-length) hair, which gets a trim maybe once a year. it should be more often, but i seem to find more interesting things to do with the money than using it at a salon. also factored into that negligence is the annoying way i am treated when i do venture in for a trim...the stylists always give me crap about how ratty the ends are, and they feel personally insulted when i decline to have layers cut into my mane, or bangs, or random chewed-off razor cutting, or highlights, or whatever their latest obsession is. it seems to bother them personally that i wear it up in a braided twist; they view it as not-modern, or affected, or a lack of a real styled haircut. mostly they just say how it is too, too long. they sigh over it, and shake their heads. they complain the entire time they are cutting it about how hard it is to comb out (true, and i simply don't ever comb it), how thick it is, how it won't stay where they put it. i have listened, and i don't hear this kind of fuss going on about other people's hair...they end up yanking and pulling so much that they break off lots of hair. they drench it with gobs of stinky goo in an attempt to detangle it. they say that it must take so much time to deal with it every day, with the insinuation that i am a prima donna with nothing better to do than mess about with my hair. my mother has always maintained that long hair is unprofessional and somehow inappropriate on a grown woman. the truth? it's easy to have my hair long. i wash it at night in the shower, wrap one of those microfiber towels around it, and go to bed. when i wake up, it's mostly dry, and i can either twist it up with a clip and forget about it, or brush it and braid it and forget about it. i don't own a comb, styling products, a curling/straightening iron, a blow-dryer. it takes about 5 minutes to wash, and about 5 minutes max in the morning to do. and for the zero effort and time put into it, it looks fine. when i go out at night, sometimes i let it down, and people adore it. they play with it. i get more compliments about my hair than anything else, and it's probably the aspect of my appearance that i spend the least time or thought on. go figure...so clearly, i have no motivation to get a "real" haircut!
