got an enchantingly blunt Bulgarian hairdresser today, looked at me pensively and went "ah it's good you have short hair, it's so thin, if it was long it would look bad"

Hush, Marie! I'm trying to grow my hair out for the first time in my life, and while it looks _awful_ at the moment, I keep hoping it'll improve as it gets longer, don't take away the dream 😭
I had the same hairdresser for 35 years. She retired early, at 77 🤔 just before lockdown. I couldn't find a decent replacement so I've grown it for the first time ever - 72 when I started!
there once was a young vulgarian
who often was wild and contrarian,
but in matters of hair
stuck to short easy care,
to please her stylist, a pensive Bulgarian
Whereas my local goth barber flattered me with a "you have good hair to cut, very thick". I almost blushed as he refused my assertion that it was definitely having an ozone hole on the top.
I once had a discussion with a hairdresser about whether to move my parting. He remarked that I should stick with side as a centre parting would not suit my ‘puffy cheeks and prominent nose’ 😳😭
The hair on top of my head is very thin due autoimmune disease and heredity, and I've worn my hair super short my whole adult life. Finally, I decided to grow it out a few years ago, and there is definitely something to be said about camouflage and combovers!! ❤️❤️
I had long hair which my hairdresser loved. Safe in the knowledge that all of the males on my mum's side died with a full head of white hair, I was totally unprepared for alopecia. I'm now bald as a coot. Luckily, my wife thinks it suits me, but I still hate it.
'Oh I remember this hair, it's curly but not quite and tends towards split ends, and layers are useless.'
(not as bad as 'this is horrible and coming off' *snips a foot off in one chunk* 'it's for your own good.' Happened twice.)
I am basically bald on top now, and I've stopped going to hairdressers. What needs cutting, I cut myself. I've considered a wig, but - ach, too annoying. If I have to bear it, so can everyone else.
I don't have to look at it! 😜
