It's a blessing...and a curse...

One of my family's favorite shows is "Monk", the OCD detective and he always says his gift is a "blessing and a curse". When doing the research for "Split Ends", I found out that really good hair designers cost a lot of money. The good was, of course, I had fabulous hair. Researching good hair gave me the blessing of knowing what makes a good stylist. The curse part was that I got addicted to good hair and I can't afford it. Not with four kids, the junior high school trip to Yosemite ($625!) Hello??? I'll be danged if I'd pay $625 to camp, but that's me. At least it's not me, that's the good part. I just have to pay for it, that's the curse part.

Anyhoo, I started doing my own hair. It started because the last stylist thinned my hair -- that never works. It didn't. So since about July, I have been cursed with bad hair. I figured, why pay for the privilege? So I started coloring it myself -- even highlighted it myself. Then...then I got cocky and I cut it myself. Sure, I couldn't see the back, but I could cut by braille, you know? Only I couldn't and now, it's even worse.

So I'm trying a new stylist, highly rated on Yelp.com and yet a little more affordable for camping trips that should come with a valet. He's actually trained in the same place that started me on my research for Split Ends. So I've got my before shot here. You can't tell how bad it is in the photo, but it's totally uneven and hacked up. Wish me luck!
