said my tearful friend at my door with her purse over her head.

She told the stylist she wanted something "simple, easy to take care of"

We slipped and snipped that night till she had an acceptable 'do. It was a major trauma for both of us. I was in my late 20's and had never cut hair. We both hope to never relive that experience. Hair eventually grow back unfortunately memories are sometimes burned into one's psyche.
