“Ohisashiburi, okaasan*!” I said to my mirror. My mother, circa 1976, was looking back at me after my haircut. Wow.
I had no idea that the style I’d pointed to in a magazine was going to look like this on me. It looked swoopier on the model. My hair embraces gravity. But I hope that with some “hard wax” styling products I can bring out the curvy lines of the magazine hair. My old blowdryer is going to be my new friend.
*Long time, no see, Mom!
