53. What has been you worst haircut/style? ((Sorry, this question is silly enough to amuse me.))
I’ve only ever had one haircut so horrible I couldn’t stand it.
I’d stopped brushing my hair due to sensory issues, and wouldn’t let my mom do it.
Rather than listen to my actual problem--”the brush hurts”--and addressing that, she took me for a buzz cut.
We’re talking shorter than a pixie.
I’d been trying to grow my hair to my butt.
After that, I was prohibited from styling my own hair for a lot of years. I was also prohibited from cutting it more than an inch at a time (for split ends), but the damage was already done--it never got past my waist again. The year I started college, I shaved it all, partly for charity, partly as a giant fuck-you to my mother.
