Note to self: Hair Cut

Back in college, a girl once told me "you know what I like about you? A lot of guys really care about their appearance, but not you." Ouch.

But she was right; I don't spend a lot of time grooming. I do not moisturize or exfoliate. I do not use "product" in my hair. Most of my haircuts are a month or two overdue. Since I am quickly running out of hair on top of my head, I typically get a form of buzz cut. I know there are universal numbers that correspond to the depth of the clippers you use, but since I don't watch Bravo I have no idea what those numbers mean. 2? 8? 14? No clue. I get my hair cut from the same woman every time and she just knows what to do and I don't have to think about it. I have a "regular cut", and then I have a "race cut" which is shorter when I want to look extra fast and mean.

It was very humid in North Carolina with record high temperatures this week, so I went to a local shop to get a quick, cooling haircut. I told an old woman with a very thick southern accent that she could just use the clippers on me. She asked what setting to use: "Ummmmm....short?" She suggested 3, and I said sure.

Now I'm bald.

Well, mostly bald. Turns out, 3 is probably what I get for my "race cut", but normally I should be about a 4.

So next time I get a haircut, I can search my blog and know what to ask for, or at least what NOT to ask for.
