On the downside of having awesome hair.
I am really lucky in that the bulk of the reactions to my hair are very positive. Especially little old ladies. They LOVE the pink hair.
The downside is that when people really love your hair, they really want to tell you about it. At length. Yesterday, after brunch with Anna, I stopped at the Columbia Mall for about two hours, and then picked up some groceries at Target. In about 3 hours, no fewer than 10 people wanted to have long, drawn-out conversations with me about my hair. Which included them telling me every color they've ever dyed their hair. By the end, my inner introvert was like, nope nope nope time to go home nope.
I need an incognito beanie for when I want to go out but not talk to people the whole time.
