Thanks for the Haircut

Posted by Braden

The other day I looked at myself in the mirror and thought, "Wow, I have a lot of hair." It was getting a wee bit scruffy in the back, too. I remembered seeing one of my hallmates with haircutting accessories, so I asked him if he'd give me a nice little trim—you know, just clean up the edges and thin it out a little bit. So he started cutting. We got to talking as he snipped away, having a good conversation. Then he finished and said, "Go see what you think." I got up, looked at myself in the mirror, and thought, "Wow, I don't have very much hair." My bangs went from 3 inches to 1 centimeter. It looked good, just not what I was expecting. I thanked him for the haircut, told myself that it'll all grow back eventually, and continued on with my day. On the positive side, I'm not going to need a real haircut for another few months now! I'll probably need a trim somewhere there in the middle, but now I know to ask one of the girls in my ward next time—I imagine they'll be a little less likely to give me a buzz.
