Murphy’s law of haircuts

Perhaps not quite Murphy’s law but am unsure of what else to call this phenomenon…

You know how a few months after your last haircut, no matter how good the cut was, your hair reaches a stage where it has completely grown out of any recognizable style or shape ?

I usually wait a few weeks after it hits that stage to make an appointment for a new cut.

(because I’m lazy, because I keep hoping it’s just a bad hair day and that tomorrow it will look better, because although I love the salon I go to, and my hairstylist K, she is chronically late and I always end up waiting for an hour even though I have an appointment and it annoys me - but K is a nice person and a genius with scissors and I’ve known her for years so no, I won’t go anywhere else).

Well, no matter how dreadfully frumpy and limp my locks have been, as soon as I get my act together and make the appointment, all of a sudden, a little miracle of occurs and my hair looks fabulous. It has body, bounce, volume, and the unevenly grown out layers look like they were placed just so on purpose….

I don’t get it. I really don’t.
