I’m beginning to realize some great benefits to my new hairless situation. (1) I am saving a lot of money on hair care products such as shampoo, mousse, and hair spray.
(2) I am saving a lot of time taking care of my hair. Some days it took forever to make it do what it was supposed to do.
(3) I am saving a lot of money on haircuts and coloring. I can hear the coins jingling in my penny bank!
(4) I am saving a lot of time on haircuts and coloring. It used to take hours a month just for those two things!
(5) I am enjoying the “spice” that my hats and scarves add to life. I can change my head covering in one second and that changes my mood. Wearing a fedora makes me feel so sophisticated!
(6) When I get tired I just pull the hat or scarf over my eyes and it is dark enough to sleep any place!
I was in Malaysia a few years back, presenting a paper to the UN area conference on the family. Most of the women in attendance were Muslim and were veiled. As I got to know a few of them and visit with them, I realized that what I thought was a terrible imposition to always go around veiled, they considered a great blessing. One of them said to me, “You have to spend so much time on your hair. I just get up, choose a scarf, and I’m ready for the day.”
I’ve thought about this a lot since that conference, but only now am I becoming converted. Wearing hats and scarves isn’t that bad. I figured it out and over the next twenty years I could save about $22,000 by using hats and scarves! That’s a nice sum and it doesn’t even take into account the half-hour per day I’d save. Anyone else out there getting converted?
