Who Cut Your Hair! The Council?

I saw Joe, a guy I used to know back in the day. He greeted me with open arms and then stood back and said "what's happened to your hair"? This statement was said, not in a nice way, but in a very obvious DAMN GIRL... WHO CUT YOUR HAIR! A MAN WITH GLAUCOMA AT THE MENTAL HEALTH CENTRE?

Joe then said "you used to have nice long hair"! I looked at this shadow of a man and said "I prefer my hair short these days".

What I really meant to say was:

a) I never liked you.

b) You look old and smell musty.

c) I heard you're a woman beater.

d) Is it true that your youngest son isn't really yours?

e) Your sister's a tramp!

f) Why is your hair-line running away from your forehead?

g) Your mum looks like The Grinch!

But no... I just looked him up and down and said "one man's meat is another man's poison". That line just about makes sense to me but that's all I could come up with.

Don't you just hate when that happens. You know when your mouth runs dry when someone makes a spiteful remark. You go home and think of 20 different put downs that you wished you had come up with at the time.

In my late teens and early twenties I wore a skin head style....(Amber Rose eat your heart out, I got there first baby girl), I used to get heckled everywhere I went.

I feel your pain but men who only like long hair on women just expose their crass lack of style, class and imagination!

I am sure you look extra pretty and stylish with short hair August.

Thank you Rose. A man winked at me today so I'm sure he thought I looked pretty tasty. He was sitting outside Sainsbury's holding out a cup asking for spare change, but he still winked... it still counts!!

I can't speak for ALL men, but I'll speak for myself and my brothers and my friends. Hair doesn't make a difference, it's confidence, personality and inner beauty that does it for us. Joe's an idiot for even beginning to comment on a woman's hair. That's the least thing to appreciate about a woman, especially when often it's dyed, permed or fake. I just love a woman who's happy.

I hide behind my weave. I've grown to hate my time consuming, life limiting, fraudulent weave. I'm going to take a leaf out of your book August and go short. F*** what anyone else thinks. I need to find me. The person without the weave.
