It seemed quite a innocuous idea. I had to have a passport photo taken for the first time in 10 years and when I compared it to my old photo I realised how much better my hair looked shorter (nothing to do with the difference between me at 30 and me at 40 I'm sure). So today I went to the hairdressers and said "cut it all off" and was met with stunned silence. Apparently that statement was the equivalent of hitting the red panic button, as I was then told that the only women who walk in demanding that kind of cut are getting divorced, getting back at their cheating husbands or changing sexuality. Your hairdresser's job in those cases is to provide counselling before agreeing to the cut. I felt bad I could only offer up my 'lousy passport' story, but it was accepted and I got suitably shorn.
