Haircuts, hairstyles, hair disasters
This week’s prompt by Jude
Sketch by Jeanette Sheppard @jinnysketches
Trips to the hairdressers make good story material. Write about the different hair cuts and styles you’ve had. Write about those memorable hairdressers who wielded the scissors. Have fun. There’s bound to be one hair disaster in your life.
And for inspiration – Julian Barnes’ A Short History of Hairdressing, a story in three chapters, describes three visits to the barber’s over a life time. It’s a great read. Buy it here for £1.49 on Amazon.
