I trimmed my hair

I have nothing better to write as a blog title. So there you go.

I really did trim my hair, and it's shorter now(obviously).

However, one thing I don't get is the difference between a cut and a trim.

You are probably gonna look at me like I banged my head and became an idiot or some4thing, but I really have to say this.

What's the damn difference anyway?

I will give definations pertaining to the above words using a dictionary.

cut:
1) To trim by clipping, shearing, paring, or pruning: to cut hair
2)To sever the edges or ends of; shorten: cut one's hair.

trim:

1) A trimming by cutting, clipping, or the like.
2) A haircut that restores the previous cut to neatness without changing the hair style.

There may be some difference to you hairstylists out there but I don't see it.

Essentially, when you have a trim, it restores the previous cut to neatness. You might as well say you shorten it. But that's the defination of cut, so, I think that 'trim' is just a prettified verion of 'cut', for mothers who want their daughters to go for a haircut, but the daughter, upon hearing the word cut, refuses.

I can imagine the scenario now.

Mother: You need a haircut, you hair is like a mop!

Daughter:For what! Everytime cut look like nerd liddat, so ugly and lao tu, Hello, this is the 20th century and not the 19th! Our generation's style is different, you so old, you won't know one la.

Mother:Not cut, trim. You have so many split ends. And if you tri, your hair will grow faster.

That's what my mum says to me. Logically, it doesn't exist.

In that case, if a trim makes people's hair grow faster, then why don't thpse botak monks go for trim everyday leh? Or those people with super short hair?

Because, chances are, if you keep triming, you are just shortening it, not lengthening it. You want long hair? Ever heard of hair extensions?

If I hadn't argued my way out, I'll still be with short hair. Super short too.

Next time I'll just refuse a trim. Geez, I'll cut my split ends myself, I know how to. In the middle ages, you know what women did when they had split ends? They burnt the split ends off!

How unforgiving.

Now I'm still left with chinese holiday homework because I've been procrastinating. Blame it on the wonders of internet and fanfiction.

I hate chinese.

Hmm, I've been saying that too much lately. I think I'll change that to my favourite quote or something.

But I think not. Because the favorite quote I have now is way better then a sentence that can be exclaimed by preschoolers.

Better then three lousy overused words, anyway.
