Won't be needing these for a while!

I have been reflecting on what will be different - other than my appearance - after my head-shave on Friday.  It occurred to me while I was drying my hair this morning that there will be few items that I won't need for a while, and a few things in my daily routine that I won't need to do - things that I don't really even think about most of the time.

Let's be honest, I'm not a person who spends a lot of time on my hair.  I brush it every day - but not for very long, or with much concentration, and so long as it's more or less pointing in the right direction I'm happy.  I won't be needing the brush for a while!

I wash it most days, and use the hairdrier on it - that will be getting a holiday, and I reckon I won't be needing much - if any - shampoo and conditioner for a few weeks.  Maybe I'll even save some money as a result.

I guess I'll be saving myself time too  - a few minutes a day perhaps.  Will I even notice?  Will I suddenly find I can linger a little longer in the park with the dogs in the morning, or catch an earlier bus to work?

 And then there's my 6 weekly visits to the hairdresser.  Those are great days, full of laughter and good conversation.  I don't want to miss those sessions - but I'm not sure what my hairdressing needs will be in 6 weeks from next Friday.  But as she is actually going to do the shave for me, maybe she'll be able to advise.

All these things will become clear, in the fullness of time, as will the long unanswered question of how grey my hair is under the dye.
