Got my hair done!!! And it felt so good it’s inspired some #Quaranthropology even. Anthropologists actually love thinking about hair and its meaning. Like:- Does cut / shaved hair symbolise submission to authority (think soldiers or ) or castration (think Samson from the Samson and Delilah story)? – Does neglected hair symbolize rejection of the libido (think crazy hair of mystics… Or Erykah Badu)?- Why is hair that’s on your head acceptable but the moment it’s in your food, it’s disgusting? – And what’s the deal with Medusa’s hair? As for me:The outgrown hair kept reminding me of the length of time spent in lockdown. With the roots died blond, time is reset! The ends were getting all entangled, split and tired, kind of like my mood in the last few weeks. All that weight has finally been cut off I wonder how much of these tired ends there are now at my salon or worldwide! I could do the maths maybe but why get so heavy now that I’m feeling light?And then my grey hair – I’m happy to talk about it but don’t want anyone to see it. There’s too much life and experience in it. But not enough to make a statement about it just yet.
