Why I am never again planning to go to the hairdresser

It is fortunately not because of a really bad recent experience. :) I was actually not at the hairdresser since 2016.

There were always two possible outcomes when going to the hairdresser. The first one was that it didn't end up well and I was not happy about the result from the start. For example too short or too long or just generally different from the expectations. Then the whole point of going to a professional to get a haircut was somehow losing the point. And these were not rare experiences either. Everytime it was a gamble if the hairdresser is going to understand what I want and will be able to do it as I want.

But I think that the second outcome of getting the perfect haircut is also not so great in the long run. And here is why.

So the visit went well, the haircut is amazing, but what about the next day after washing the hair again. It is still good, but not as good as the first day. And then it is just a ride downhill until the next fix at the hairdresser. So not just that going to the hairdresser made me dependent on going to the hairdresser like I was some sort of drug addict. But also in the time in between the haircuts I was not feeling that good about my hair. Because I was the whole time waiting for the next fix to make it perfect again.

Now that I haven't gone to the hairdresser for about 5 years and I bought some semi professional scissors I am starting to be the expert on cutting my own hair. Professional hairdresser has to be the expert of cutting anyones hair. I just have to be the expert on cutting my own hair. :)

The benefit is that I can do small adjustments anytime I want. I have no highs and lows, because I am keeping it as I want it all the time. I don't have to be scared of leaving the hairdresser with something I am not happy about. And I can try to invest the time and money in other things that will benefit my well being more that a hairdresser perfect haircut for a day or two. :)

    Speaking of a perfect haircut, Ušo was wondering, what makes a haircut perfect. So he asked his friend, a hedgehog. The hedgehog said: "The perfect haircut makes you safe against a snake attack." Ušo wanted to have such a perfect haircut as well, and so he went to a hairdresser to get it. He was turned away, however, because he had no hairs to be cut in the first place. His only hope is therefore either to make friends with the next snake to attack him, or to not mind being attacked. The latter puts quite some freedom in one's life, at the expense of possibly making it shorter.

Endmyopia Journey Blog - Part 4 First distance glasses

I just ordered the first distance glasses. After some consideration and measurements I decided to go 0,5 diopter lower than what I have now. Maybe that is going to be too much blur and I will have to go just 0,25 lower, but I have the feeling I am already a bit overcorrected as I see super sharp with my glasses even when it is a bit dark. I can always get just 0,25 lower and keep the 0,5 lower for later if there is no improvement in three months. I had to start somewhere. :) I ordered the glasses online and received message that my order is not being processed and they are going to contact me about what we do further. I though the frames are already sold out, but the problem was my prescription. They thought I made a mistake in the order, because the prescription was different than my first prescription (the close up glasses). So I explained those were for screen and these are for distance so it is ok. Next time when I am ordering the 0,25 difference up or down I will have to mention m...

Endmyopia Journey Blog - Part 1 The Discovery

How it started  I went to the optometrist, because my lenses were scratched and I needed to replace them. After the usual check up I was told that I need more correction in my left eye. I was not too concerned about that as it was a long time since I needed more correction. But the optometrist also said that I have astigmatismus in the right eye that can't be fixed by an astigmatism correction as in by adding cylinder correction. This was interesting and I started googling for "astigmatism eye yoga" and "exercises to fix astigmatism" to find out if there are other options if cylinder correction can't fix it. This is how I ended up on the Endmyopia website and discovered there are people that reduced their myopia or completely got rid of it with the Endmyopia method. Books I found I was already pretty convinced I will give it a try, but I anyway started to look around for other sources. I found these three books in the local library and checked what they are...

Endmyopia Journey Blog - Part 2 The First Close Up Glasses

Obrázek
My first close up glasses arrived and I started testing them for screen use and book reading. I am moving my screen a lot to find the edge of the blur, because it is changing during the day. After a month or 6 weeks I should get the first reduced glasses for distance. For now I am trying to work on active focus and on eliminating  eye strain . I also couldn't resist to compile this collage of all the frames I had during the years. I noticed that my new frames are a bit similar to my very first frames. :) To be continued...
