My hair is sharp. Almost literally right now.

I'm at the salon and the stylist has just finished cutting it super-short like I wanted.

Stylist: Would you like some gel in it to smooth it down?
Me: Yeah, sure.
Stylist: *proceeds to squeeze a whole third of a big tube of gel into her hand and scrub the humongous dollop into my hair*

It's entirely possible that thanks to the overabundance of dried gel on my scalp, I could bend over, run directly into a brick wall, and not suffer any damage, while leaving a large dent in the bricks. I am not, however, about to test that theory.

i've been with this stylist on and off since middle school, so around twenty years, and just this year she's finally stopped giving me crunchy helmethair when i let her style me after a cut&color. she uses spray instead of gel, but i feel your pain.

I swear to God, I had to talk her down because she was looking at the photo of me the last time I had this haircut (in which my hair was super-short, dampened and smoothed down flat) and kept asking me how spiked-up I wanted it.

THERE ARE NO SPIKES GOING UP IN THAT PICTURE. WHERE THE HELL ARE YOU GETTING SPIKED-UP HAIR FROM, OMG.

I think short spikes look super cute, but that's just me.

Stylists always look at me funny when I tell them that I want no product in my hair. At all.
