Yes that’s right,
my hair has to be colorful, green, red, pink, purple or grey. I cannot live
without my colorful hair.
But having
colorful hair isn’t easy from time to time (and from time to time means basically
almost always)
I don’t
know what’s wrong with the thing we call society, but looking “not normal” is a
huge deal to it. It starts with people shouting on the street “Oh my god, she
has *insert color here* hair”, which is something you can ignore most of the
time. It’s getting harder when old people ask you “do you have a job with that
kind of hair” (really? No, I don’t because having green hair killed all my brain
cells…) and it just goes on and on.
This is not
meant to be first-world-problem complaining. It’s the question why can’t people
do what their want to do and more import why can’t people look the way they
want without been given a hard time from strangers.
I mean I
like it when people come to me and tell me that my hair looks cool and stuff,
but I can’t stand it when people come and want to touch my hair (whyyyyy?) or
look at my hair critically to tell me that my hair looks damaged. Do they go to
every fake blond in town and look at their hair? Probably not!
Work
situation’s not brilliant as well. From colleagues who ask me every two weeks “when
will you dye your hair a normal color” to those who ask every 3 days if I’ve
changed my hair color and me answering “No I just washed them” (and sounding
like the grossest human being ever for having to mention that I washed my hair
like it was something I don’t do to often) to getting weird looks from bosses.
But despite
all of that I will continue having green or other crazy colored hair. Because I
like it and I think in the 21th century you should be able to do the things you
like and look the way you like to.
