Most people at work were surprised about my new short hair. A few were actually shocked. Chad keeps reminding me everyday I&#8217;m now the short-hair version of myself. I do have to apologize to Vittorio as we were both sporting long hair and now he feels betrayed. I&#8217;m sorry.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s been a few days since I got short hair and I&#8217;ve been getting used to it. There are definitely a lot of benefits for having short hair.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>I no longer have to use a comb!<\/li>\n<li>I use 75% less shampoo and conditioner, which probably means my Costco-sized shampoo and conditioner will last over a year.<\/li>\n<li>My hair dries pretty much immediately after a shower. With long hair and without using the blow dryer, it would usually take an hour.<\/li>\n<li>I no longer have to clean out the long hair from the shower or pull it out of my Roomba.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The disadvantages I can think of:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>No more long hair for girls to play with. For some reason they really liked to braid my hair.<\/li>\n<li>I can no longer use the excuse that it&#8217;s mine if someone finds a strand of long hair on me.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>One freaky thing I never really told anyone is that since I haven&#8217;t had a haircut for over 2 years, after a shower, my hair would drape across the front of my face, and I would look like that girl from Ringu (The Ring).<\/p>\n<p>I do have to style my hair in the morning (I explain why later), but it&#8217;s not too bad. I have had this small tub of <a href=\"http:\/\/www.garnierusa.com\/_en\/_us\/our_products\/product-struct.aspx?tpcode=OUR_PRODUCTS^PRD_STYLING^FRUCTIS_STYLE^STYLE_DISCOVER^STYLE_FIBER_GUM_PUTTY\">Garnier Fructis Style Fiber Gum Putty<\/a> for awhile (I presume from the days when I still had short hair) and it&#8217;s working great with my new haircut. Styling my hair takes about 30 seconds every morning:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Wet hair<\/li>\n<li>Scoop small amount of putty into hand<\/li>\n<li>Rub hands together<\/li>\n<li>Run hands through hair and mold into shape I want<\/li>\n<li>Wash hands<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>One thing that sucks is that after I wash the putty off, it looks like I have a broom-head. It looks okay when it&#8217;s still wet, but once I dry it off, it all sticks straight up, like what Xyon would call Chia Pet mode. And when your hair is 1.5&#8243; long, it sort of looks like a broom. My sister imagined I would look like a Dragon Ball character, but I think it&#8217;s more like Vash from Trigun or Chou from Rurouni Kenshin (though they both sport the broom-head much better than I do):<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"http:\/\/www.krunk4ever.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/05\/trigun-vash-300x239.jpg\" alt=\"Trigun - Vash\" title=\"Trigun - Vash\" width=\"300\" height=\"239\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-2827\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.krunk4ever.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/05\/trigun-vash-300x239.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.krunk4ever.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/05\/trigun-vash.jpg 435w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/> <img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"http:\/\/www.krunk4ever.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/05\/rurouni-kenshin-chou.jpg\" alt=\"Rurouni Kenshin - Chou\" title=\"Rurouni Kenshin - Chou\" width=\"260\" height=\"213\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-2826\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Maybe the key is to dye it blond and wear red clothing.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Thanks to everyone&#8217;s compliments about my new hair.
