I like to have my hair cut in a very particular manner.
First of all, I like to have many layers cut into my hair, so it has a cascading effect.
Secondly, I’ve had bangs since I was 15 years old, and I refuse to be without them. The only problem with both of these preferences is that they require me to spend a significant amount of time drying my hair every morning to put the strands in the right place. I seriously cannot just let it air dry, or it goes in all sorts of strange directions. So every morning after I shower I get stuck holding up this heavy little piece of machinery, struggling to get the job done. Honestly, I usually have to turn on my AC unit to get through it. The humidity in the bathroom makes it impossible to dry off unless the air conditioning is running. The heat from being trapped in there pumping the little room full of hot blowing air has to be counterbalanced by cold dry air from the vents. Otherwise, I’m sweating too much to even dry my hair or be able to hold up the device. I’m afraid of how much these little spurts of intense air conditioning cost me, but I feel like I usually am pretty responsible about running the cooling unit at a lower speed all other times of the day. I also have a pretty energy efficient AC unit, so I think it could be worse. Either way, it’s worth the cost for good hair.
