So I am sure you have experienced the thrill & greatness of a new hair cut. Not just any-old trim; removal of split ends; or cutting of bangs. But a brand-new styling. You arrive at the stylist's/barber's/etc. with a few pictures of the "do" you are going for; have the image of the soon-to-be new-found glory of the fresh cut and style emblazoned in your mind's eye, when your beautician innocently asks..."So how do you part your hair?"
"Uh...ummm??? Good question. NO. GREAT question!...How DO I normally part my hair?" races through your mind. "NORMALLY, I have a comb in my hand. And my hair is wet. And, I do not really THINK about it...my hair just kind of falls into place."
And out sputters, "On this side."
"I think?!"
And, inevitably, once you have returned home to stare in the mirror for a few brief moments you realize that, in fact, you used to part your hair on the opposite side.
