I always like to tell people,
"LET ME CUT YOUR HAIR FOR YOU.
MY GRANDMOTHER USED TO BE A HAIRDRESSER.
MY GRANDMOTHER USED TO BE A HAIRDRESSER.
IT'S IN MY GENES."
Of course it's bullshit LOL.
But my grandmother really used to be a hairdresser, before she moved to Singapore
to take care of me after I was born.
Her "salon" was part of her single-storey terrace house,
where she had an area set up with mirrors, salon chairs and a hair wash station,
just like any salon out there.
I remember vaguely looking through the window from my room
and watching her work when I stayed over as a toddler.
Since she moved in to stay with us a looooong time ago,
she stopped working as a hairdresser, only occasionally
helping me cut my hair or perming her own hair.
She's been telling me that my hair is too long quite frequently these days,
so I asked her to help me chop off my locks today.
Before
This was taken a few days ago.
My hair was so freaking long, I might accidentally get wrapped
in it when I sleep and get choked lol.
Just joking haha. Touchwood touchwood.
I think this is perhaps the longest length my hair has been kept so far.
A bit 舍不得 to cut them actually...
So anyway, she agreed to help me cut my hair and we went to the bathroom to snip snip snip.
Cutting my hair layer by layer from the bottom...
Reaching the top layer~
Bare face shots woots.
She had to use newspaper to protect my shirt cuz she couldn't find the cloth she usually uses.
It works the same la haha.
After all these were snipped off...
After
Tadaaaa~
Nonono, it's not asymmetrical. It's just the angle + my head was a bit tilted haha.
The shorter side (left) is the actual length of my hair right now.
How I'd look if I tied up my hair
My ponytail used to be a horsetail lor, very long one!
I think it used to be able to touch the lower part of my upper back.
Now it's just below my neck.
I think it's great because now that my head is lighter,
maybe I can think better???
Hahahahaha.
Combing her own hair after my haircut~
This is my Popo (which means 'grandmother' in Cantonese)!
I'm really grateful to have her in my life and being able to see her everyday,
with the added bonus of getting my hair cut by her.
Thank you Popo! Muacks <3
Thank YOU for reading too:)
With love, Minnee
