constance: (*finds calm center*)
[personal profile] constance
I got my hair cut yesterday -- I'm still growing it out, but really did need a trim, and a little reshaping -- and I haven't wanted to spend the money before now, and my mother keeps offering but I haven't wanted to spend her money either; but now that I will be getting a proper paycheck again I am feeling able to fork over money on unnecessities. And so yesterday I stared squinting in a mirror at another Camille as she reshaped me as to hair, and did a very nice job too. No more split ends, no more fuzzy halo. Still recognizably me.

She used this hair goo on me. I'm not a big fan of hair goo, for the most part; I like hair that moves, for one thing, and for another, I have a terrible habit of fiddling with my hair, and if there's so much goo in it that it stays wherever I put it, or I can't get my fingers into it, it ends up looking awful at the end of the day, as though some seven-year-old had made me a special wig made of modeling clay. But I'm getting off the point here, which is that this hair goo was different. For one thing, it was extra-light, which is my favorite sort of hair goo -- a little volumizing, but not in any other way intrusive. The main reason, though, is that it smelled like pumpkin pie, all rich and buttery and cinnamon-y, and I worked last night, and every now and then I would turn my head and this smell would drift over me, and I would think, my God, that fabulous smell, it is me. Which is a nifty feeling.

I am in a good mood today, much less likely to assume the entire world is taking me on sufferance, so I am going to do a thing which I normally wouldn't do:

Describe me in ONE WORD...just one word!

Post in your journal and I'll do the same for you.

One word! Heavens!

Also, ooh! What sort of hair goo was it? The stuff that's used on me is always nice, but it never smells like food, just like "salon". I have a pumpkin pie-scented face mask that I love, but I can't really wear that to work or a shopping trip unless I want to scare people.

I meant to ask about the pumpkin stuff, but I was in that decent-haircut afterglow as I paid up, and forgot. I'll stop in sometime and ask, and let you know, but in the meantime, a quick search reveals that both Philosophy and Sexy Hair have pumpkin pie hair goo available (if I were a betting woman, I'd bet they used the latter on me).

What kind of face mask? What does it do?

Keeps civilians from connecting you with your mild-mannered alterego, I should hope.

As in, really-neat-lady cool, not impersonal cool, or anything like that.
