My hair just looks terrible !

Yesterday night I went to my weekly theatre classes. We're performing a little show next Wednesday, not a big thing - we're all beginners and the audience will basically be friends and relatives, so it's really no big deal, just fun !

We're a group of 10 girls + a teacher and every Friday night we have a great time. These classes are just a perfect outlet to release energy and emotion. I'm so relaxed when I come home afterwards. We do theatre games, we improvise, we laugh.. It's like yoga, but noisier I guess !

Anyway as we are just a bunch of girls, we also need to play male characters from time to time. So after rehearsing yesterday, the teacher asked us to have our hair loose on Wednesday when playing female characters. So we looked had each other and two girls had their hair tied back.

The first one, Carine, had her hair rolled up and tied back with a barrette. The teacher asked her if she would loose her hair. That's when I realized she always had her hair tied back that way. She was groping but still she loosed her hair and, in a shampoo-commercial-way, revealed long, thick, blonde hair. She did not seem very happy with her hair like that, but I thought it was a shame she never looses it.

The other girl, Catherine, had shoulder length hair put into a bun. Obviously she looked horrified at the idea of undoing her hair.We were cheering on : "Come on!"And she was like : "But it really looks dreadful !"
"Oh yes, sure ... Com'on !"
With bad will and a truly miserable face she started undoing her hair, as if meaning "I've warned you - it really looks terrible - be prepared"
and when it was loose it was just.... how shall I put it....well... it was ... normal !!!
So we were like, ironically : "Bahhhhhhhh!!!" which is what French children say when they are forced to eat Brussels sprouts !

It's funny how girls are obsessed with hair. I am one of them.We believe there is something wrong with our hair, but nobody will notice it except us.I remember a conversation with my ex-roommate :
Her : "You're so obsessed with your hair."
I : "Well, of course, I have such tousled hair. Not like yours. Yours is straight and nice."
Her : "Are you kidding me ? Yours have volume, whereas mine is fine and thin..."
In fact I remember loads of conversations alike with girlfriends.
We're just never happy with our hair !
