New haircut, with pic!

[annathepiper]

I am generally about as low maintenance as it is possible to get with one’s hair. “Have I washed it lately?” and “have I brushed it lately?” are about the only hair-related questions I ask myself, and regardless of what the answers are, I find that there are few hair issues I can’t solve by stuffing it into a scrunchy and hiding it under a hat. I also very rarely get it cut or styled.

But that said, every two and a half to three years or so, I hit a point where my hair becomes officially Annoying, and it is time to whack it off and start over again. I have now reached that point. This time around it’s underscored by the fact that my beloved solarbird and I are going to a nice dinner on Tuesday night, at which I must dress more formally than usual, and so I wished to do something to my hair to maximize its ability to look decent without me having to do anything to do it.

Therefore she and I went to Great Clips yesterday and a very nice lady gave me the shortest haircut I’ve had in some time. In fact, I’m pretty sure I have Starbuck Hair now, and given my affection for my and Dara’s Crazy TV Girlfriend, this is not a bad thing. I do however promise to not paint weird things on walls, to run afoul of crazy Cylon stalkerboys, or go off on a last doomed mission to find Earth. (I make no promises about avoiding swooning, though, if either Jamie Bamber or Michael Trucco happen to show up.) Also, now I totally want a Galactica flight jacket all over again.

Behold my Starbuck hair!

Me the day after my March 5 2011 haircut!

It looks awesome! And that iss totally Starbuck hair. (It's so much fun to describe hair in terms of characters. My last haircut was Mia-Farrow-in-Rosemary's-Baby. I... like short.)

[annathepiper]

Thanks, and isn't it just?

I'm kinda giggling that I can do Alan Doyle Hair Flips now. :D

[framlingem.livejournal.com]

Totally a trick you can pull out at the next session, I think!

[annathepiper]

Not so much when I'm sitting down! I will however keep it in reserve for Norwescon, since Dara wants me to play backup guitar for her there!

[callibr8]

Looks very nice indeed! That length really looks good on you, imo.

[annathepiper]

Thanks! It's all weird; I can do Alan Doyle Hair Flips now. :D

[mamishka.livejournal.com]

Hee! Not at all dissimilar from my last haircut! ;)

[annathepiper]

I was thinking this was Mimi Hair as well as Starbuck Hair, yeah! :D

[batyatoon]

Starbuck Hair! It really is. :D It's a good look on you!

[annathepiper]

Thank you! :) :)

[sarakate.livejournal.com]

That's a great look. I like it a lot!

BTW, for the styling-impaired, this (http://www.google.com/products/catalog?hl=en&biw=1366&bih=578&q=brush+hair+dryer&um=1&ie=UTF-8&cid=7123802090810045022&sa=X&ei=Egt0TeH3GonQgAfpmvBH&ved=0CE8Q8wIwAw#) is an awesome product -- you can get the same great finished look your stylist gives you with a regular blower and a round brush, but it doesn't require you to have a third hand and/or olympic-level coordination.

[annathepiper]

Thanks much and duly noted about the link! :)

[maellenkleth]

very very Starbuckian indeed and just plain nice!

congratulations. ^_^

[annathepiper]

Thank you very much. :)

Did Alan Doyle have his hair like that once?

;)

[annathepiper]

Certainly not, unless there are Sekrit Alan Childhood pictures in which he was blond. ;D

[cheryl-f.livejournal.com]

Very cute. Looks easy to care for too.

[annathepiper]

Thanks! And yeah, this should be about as low maintenance as it's possible for me to get. :)

[marzipan-pig.livejournal.com]

That's a really flattering cut!

Once when my hair was short a cute girl at work said (in kind of an intense way) that I looked like Starbuck (swoon). Maybe we can form a society?

[annathepiper]

Thanks! And woo! Cute Girls With Starbuck Hair, unite!

[sticckler.livejournal.com]

maybe not colour-wise, but certainly length and the way it hangs is very Alan Doyle-ish! It's cute and I bet the hair flips are fun :)

[annathepiper]

Hair flips are ALWAYS fun! Even more fun if you're playing the bouzouki!

[jedishampoo.livejournal.com]

Eeee, you went even shorter than I did! But it looks very bouncy and cute. :)

[annathepiper]

Thank you! :) :)

Cute hair cut! I'm planning on getting mine chopped next week, actually, to inspire my son to allow his hair to be cut as well. I may have to get Herself's hair cut as well, because he's fixated on doing what she does / says.

[annathepiper]

Thanks! And hee, yay for convincing the kids and getting yourself a haircut of your own in the bargain.

[ssha.livejournal.com]

Verra nice! I approve!

[annathepiper]

Thanks!
