Why clean your room if it’s just going to get dirty again? Why adopt a pet if it’s just going to die someday? Why live at all if everything you do will be wiped away by entropy and the passage of time?
Existence is absurd. Try to see the beauty in that absurdity.
Easy there, Sisyphus. Leave some boulder for the rest of us.
I laughed embarrassingly hard at this.
Should I read absurdist or existentialist works to learn more?Mother died today. Or, maybe, yesterday; I can’t be sure.
I read it a while back. Meh, it was alright.
Don’t bring me back to me last night thinking about the fact that we will never understand the before everything existed as in itself doesn’t make sense.
Not gonna lie, I let them do this because on the rare occasion I do use product (usually the free sample variety) I want to know if I like a certain look and how to kind of steer it that way.
Because otherwise Its wasted effort that will be gone in under 15 minutes.
They do it so you don’t walk out of their business with flat ugly hair. They don’t care what you do after, but leaving a hair stylist with ugly hair looks bad on them.
You could always ask them not to, you know. I pass on it every time.
I went to get my hair cut at a place that advertised “haircuts for men”. The entire time I was in the chair the stylist was pushing this or that product, really being agressive about it. It must be popular, at least she said these products were used by 98% of the men who visited. I stopped her from putting the slop in my hair, but she really didn’t like it. I suspect there was a manager somewhere pushing these poor people to sell product, so I was just polite. And I never went back.
I’d nane and shame the company so it could be avoided, but they went out of business less than a year after opening.
When I went to my German hair guy in the 90s (who was awesome, cheers Jürgen Schneider wherever you are), I didn’t need a shower. He was THAT good, he brushed every little hair on my neck away and used a warm towel for the rest. The best: that chad wasn’t even expensive, when I told him, I haven’t got the money this time - I was a student - he did it just for the fun of it, but then he tested things on me. Hilarious! One time: imagine bleached blonde hair, colored straw yellow, chaotic, about 2 inches, with multi color longer strains in red, green, blue etc I looked like a cockatoo with a cooking show. Loved it! Ah the 90s.
Why go home and immediately take a shower? I go to places that wash my hair after my cut so I don’t have to go home and shower.
In my experience, no matter how careful anyone is, I now have sharp, freshly-cut hair bits under my shirt. Unless I take my shirt off and wipe my body with a towel, no amount of post-cut washing of my head is going to solve the problem.
What kind of barbers do you go to? I have been going to a barber for 23 years and not once in my life did I have this problem
Do you get your hair buzzed? The only place those back of neck small hairs can go is down.
Yeah but I’ve never been to a barber that didn’t remove it to get access to your neck at the end.
My hairdresser uses the buzzer for my haircuts, yeah.
Listen buddy I’m going to level with you. All of us that go home and shower had probably one bad experience as a kid and have vowed to never EVER let that happen again. Waterboarding has nothing on itchy, cut hair.
Honestly, fair
I want someone to keep them touching me to an absolute minimum so them washing it absolutely not happening.
Knowing I’ll never put in the product this haircut requires
Even if… they are just showing you a way to style it.
One could simply shower before being in close contact with another person.
I shower before and after I get my haircut. I’ll shower sfter my haircut and somehow still end up finding stray cut hairs.
Same. Also i wash my hair like 3 times before because one time the lady said her clippers wouldn’t go through my hair because it was too dirty and she had to shampoo it first (even though I showered like 30 minutes ago). I think she was trying to sell me shampoo because she was pushing it even before that but the whole experience was embarrassing as fuck so now I have to worry about that every time I need to get it cut.
Nothing more motivating than embarrassment, that’ll be a tough one to shake, might as well just accept your tic.
Yeah that happened like 5 years ago and I’m still fucked up by it. I went after work 2 haircuts ago and it had me so paranoid because I had only showered like 8 hours ago.
