I hate my hair

I really need to do something with my damn hair and I just don't know what to do with it. I've had it short for a couple of years now. I miss my ponytail. But then long hair got to be a pain so that's why I got it cut off. It's thick, wavy and getting lots of gray. Oh why oh why can't I be rich and go to a fancy salon and they could do something with it instead of going to the cheap place where sometimes they hack it all up and sometimes they do a good job. In the meantime, maybe I'll just stick a hat on my head for the next few months and let it grow.
