Things that confuse me about haircuts

Nessie

Neurotypicals seem to place quite a high priority on how their hair looks and I really don't understand their fixation with it. For example:

  1. Why they talk about going to the hairdresser (who cares?)
  2. Why they enjoy having their hair cut (bright lights, horrible chemical smells and a hairdresser who talks incessant b*****ks)
  3. Why they walk up to you periodically with a big grin and say, "So, what do you think? Do you like it?" (as if I'm expected to notice that something has changed. Hint: I never do)
  4. Why they constantly brush, fluff-up or re-style their hair throughout the day (I ran a cursory brush through it when I got up, and I go to work to, y'know, work, not play with my hair all day)
  5. Why hairdressers are always trying to convince you to 'try something new' (err, it's taken me a decade to find something that both looks and feels acceptable, why would I change that?)
  6. Why they cost so much (especially with the amount of torment we have to put up with, per point 2, frankly we should be paid to be sat there)

Do you understand it? Funny stories and explanations both welcome and encouraged.

    I want lego hair. Find something i like and just snap it on my head in the morning like a lego person. No haircuts.  

    The worst part of a haircut is trying to explain what you want, even though it is bleedin' obvious , same as before, duh.  

     Second worst is sitting in front of a mirror for half an hour looking at your own moosh. 

    The third worst is having to act satisfied when you pay, while you feel like screaming and running out of the salon, lol. 

    The fourth worst is getting home immediately afterwards, taking off your hat (because you put one on when you left) and proceeding to CORRECT the hairdresser's work, which you hate, then ending up crying in the sink with big lumps of hair in it that will take 2 months to grow back.
