Seasons of Hair

My hair has a tipping point. I usually grow my hair out without maintaining it in any way, and when it gets too long I ask the barber to chop it all off. I got it cut today and now my hair sticks out like porcupine needles. It takes around three weeks for it to not look like it was recently cut. Then I hit another point where my hair gets really hard to manage and it sticks up in the back when I wake up in the morning. It requires me to take a shower or wear a hat in order for my hair to stay matted down. After a while my hair gets longer and heavier, making the sticking up problem non-problematic. This is the point where I can actually comb my hair and look neat. But here’s where the tipping point comes in. One day my hair suddenly looks too long and too messy. One day my hair becomes unmanageable and I get ton of people telling me to get a haircut, all on one weekend. That’s what happened yesterday and today.
