its gone from waist length to shoulder length

dont worry about the other experiments mine is much more interesting lol

see normally he would notice because he would have seen the appointment written down i had this done on the spur of the moment

and lily-rose i dont do any of the housework he does it all same with the washing etc i cook occasionally and i did some shopping today

If he does all the housework, washing and most of the cooking I think not noticing a haircut is allowable. I have know women being complimented on a new hair style to reply 'what was wrong with the old one', some times you can't win.

We have total role reversal on this. I am the MOST unobservant person on earth. It's a standing joke that my OH gets his hair cut every 6 weeks on his lunch break and in 6 years I have not once noticed of my own accord. Now he'll just choose an opportune moment a few hours later to dramatically wail "you never notice!" lol. Or he'll put something on the stairs to be taken up and I'll walk past it constantly for days while he waits to see how long it takes me to notice it!

Whereas he notices everything, literally nothing gets past him. The other day after I'd been dusting he came home and within 10 seconds of being in the living room was like "why are the picture frames the wrong way round?". 2 identical frames on the mantlepiece, but with different photos. WEIRD. Even when he said it I couldn't have told you they were the other way round before!

This seems a common theme this 'my DH didn't notice I've gone to the hairdresser', as if it is a test of their paying attention to their partner.

I don't really see it like that. Going to the hairdresser is a pain in the bum, I do it now because the grey hair brigage has taken over, and yes sometimes I will change the colour, style, but I do it because it needs to and I couldn't care less if hubby noticed or not! Saying that, I do hope he doesn't notice the rare time I get a big pimple on my forehead too!

My OH will notice phyiscal things but not always, however, he is much more likely to pick up on a change of mood and ask me what is wrong in an inviting way, and I much prefer that.

Hubby shaved off his beard the other day and it took me several hours to notice.

I tell my DH when I am going to the hairdresser....

and then when I come back, he makes the comment 'I thought you were going to the hairdresser'

Mine would, if my roots are showing through at about 1mm, he notices!
He's just too observant.
Yet, when I do a deep clean on the house (like yeserday) he doesn't take any notice and I have to point it out to him and always get the answer "oh, thats why I can smell bleach".

I was really surprised and pleased when my hubby noticed I'd dyed my hair a few weeks ago until he remarked that he only noticed beause I had red dye on my ear oops

DH never comments when I come back from the hairdresser. Sometimes I get a look, which I take to mean he doesn't like it.

He hates it if I make any comment about his appearance. I've just got told off for pointing out that his zip was undone, to put it politely. On another occasion he was annoyed when I said his trouser leg had a thread pulled taut which made them unwearable. Why would he prefer not to be told?

So maybe men who don't comment on our hair think it looks awful and think we would prefer not to hear that?

The only thing my OH will enquire about is the price! How much did that cost?!
