This Took Some Courage to write - SB Chronicle #20

Hm, do i really have the courage to talk about this... Okee okee, here we go for the fun of participating in the Silver Bloggers Chronicle #20 and especially for Lizzie to have a laugh about Hair Styles from wayyyyy back. 😬

Hair-dress Trends

It was in the 80's when it started. Since the flower power seventies where starting many trends, especially in the way we dressed ourselves, obviously it changed our way to "make" the hair... ha.

Just after the army service i had the need to let my hair grow. I needed to change "my" style for something different after the Army's forced short-hair-cut.... at the same time i signed a contract to become a "professional" DJ in a small discotheque somewhere in the middle of Nowhere - Switzerland. It was a place for the typical eighties sound, with a good lean on hard rock. Quite okay for my "gusto". So i went to an "old" school friend who just started her own hair dressing business, asking her for an idea. And she sure had some ideas i can tell you that. Today i think it was because of her fiery Italian roots.

"Coup de Soleil"

It all started with a "Coup de Soleil", which in English the hairdressers call "sun-kissed or sunlit highlights"... it's a coloring technique that makes parts of the hair lighter/blond, imitating how sunlight would lighten it. Yeah, that makes you laugh... i know. But be assured, it will even get better.

While my hair was growing, since that was what i wanted, my hairdresser friend wasn't toooo happy about the idea. Sure i got that, long hair - less cutting and that wasn't helping her business. Hehehe! Then one day, when the hair was already "falling" on to my shoulders, she came up with another idea... 😩

Now you can start laughing 'til your tummy hurts...

The Sunlit Mullet

You all remember the British pop singer Limahl from the band "Kajagoogoo"!? (to me one of that one-day-flies you can find in pop music history and probably because of his hairstyle) Long story short... my hair-dress friend was a huge fan of that guy and wanted me to try that haircut.

In my defense, if that even helps a bit, it really was that time "everbody" had that haircut... especially footballers. So i said: "Okay, let us try that one..."

Hair dressing histories worst style ever... IMNSHO. I can't even remember how the fecking feck i was able to walk around with something like that on my head and that for about two years. Sure i was under a spell or drugged somehow... and i'm not talking about "MaryJane" doing her thing here at all.

Help after reading

Now go and have some chamomile tea, it will help to relieve the inflammation in your tummy. You may also put a warm compress on your abdomen to relax the cramps you now have after all the laughing.

Tipping is a way to show that you appreciate the work ! Thank you !

The “true” way of a community is to support each other, since it doesn't make sense to wait for the mercy of a millionaire to send us $$$ - we support each other with the best we can.
It works even after a contribution has gone through the seven days of voting, and thus the opportunity for gracious "giving" is over. Another plus - that way no one can ‘steal’ your given support, not even the often ego-selfish pointless Down-Voters. I thank you for all the support you give, anywhere !
