A late and hairy Friday Five this morning:
1. Is your hair naturally curly, wavy, or straight? Long or short?
Straight as nails. It’s about chin-length at the moment, and has been for a few years now (it’s only longer occasionally when I haven’t gotten round to cutting it for a while).
2. How has your hair changed over your lifetime?
Well, it’s been almost waist-length (that was a pain) and a few centimetres short, and it’s been a lot of interesting colours (purple, for example, and pitch black – not a great success) – you could say I’ve experimented a bit.
3. How do your normally wear your hair?
The only way it’s really possible to wear it is hanging straight. Whenever I try something else it’s usually hanging straight again after an hour or two, so I normally can’t be bothered.
4. If you could change your hair this minute, what would it look like?
If I had the colouring to go with it I’d quite like long, slightly curly hair of that distinctly Irish darkish red sort of colour, but as it is I’ll keep my own, thanks.
5. Ever had a hair disaster? What happened?
Weeeel. I once used a dark red (“do not on lighter shades”) wash-in-wash-out satchet to colour my hair pink for the evening. Unfortunately, the wash-in-wash-out didn’t. Wash out, I mean. So my hair was still quite shockingly pink on Monday morning when I showed up for work. That was interesting.
