Volume 1 Chapter 7

  Head

  The head is the "origin of man", the head is the "origin of origin".

  The first impression of meeting a stranger is often based on their accessories - hats make a deeper impression.

  When I was young, I was very puzzled why some people's heads could run in two directions at the same time. Unfortunately, there is no answer to this question in books.

  So every time I meet a familiar adult, I want to touch their head to experience it, but because of the reversal of etiquette, my father repeatedly stops me sternly.

  After entering junior high school, classmates passed me a secret sign saying that the non-erect posture is innate but needs to be cultivated later. When going to bed, keep a straight sleeping posture and after one night, the head will take shape.

  In those years, Aaron Kwok's hairstyle was popular and I decided to keep a similar haircut to emulate him.

  During this time I envied some boys' haircuts just like women seeing beautiful clothes on other women's bodies, and I couldn't help but want to grab their heads and put them on my own.

  I remember my teacher often said knowledge is something that others can't take away from you, so at that time I often mentioned knowledge and head in the same breath.

  But judging from many academic papers today, it seems that what's left is only the title.

  It lay flat for 60 nights, and the middle part finally showed a little. Unexpectedly, the road ahead seemed to have passed through a quagmire and became blurred after a while, and disappeared completely after another day. On the third day, it reappeared on the upper left corner of my head! I guess my head felt too sudden and couldn't accept it for a while.

  The only way out is to shave your head and start again.

  I have to go get a haircut.

  Actually, logic is a profound subject.

  First, you need to choose a good place. A secluded but luxurious place is generally not recommended unless you treat money as something external; a secluded and barren place is also not recommended unless you treat your brain as something external.

  A good store also needs a good person.

  Some therapists can't even handle their own heads properly, how can they go and handle the masses' minds?

  But it can't be generalized that some barbers aren't cutting their own hair and need to ask colleagues in the shop for help.

  If all the barbers in a shop have hair that sticks up on one side and is flat on the other, then this small shop is finished.

  Before, I followed my mother to learn many true principles of reason.

  Mother always yelled at the master of the store, scaring the apprentices so they didn't dare move.

  That master has retired and said he's hung up his knife, implying that he only takes money now.

  Then my mom immediately walked away. Generally speaking, she would be stopped within five steps. At this critical moment, my mom usually took another step, and then the master said he shaved.

  Then my mom stood up straight and turned right, putting her bag on the sand with a complex smile at the corner of her mouth.

  But this has repeatedly led me to defeat.

  That time I asked for a middle parting haircut and requested the master barber to come over but unexpectedly after shouting for half a day, a woman claiming to be a senior stylist appeared.

  I think apprentices should also be given an opportunity.

  So I have high standards: the hair on top should be cut thin, ears slightly exposed, the front of the head should be cut as little as possible, the forehead should be partially hidden and partially visible, eyes should be partially hidden and partially visible, etc.

  Thought the apprentice would be busy for a while.

  The apprentice is not up to par, just like in many martial arts novels, he only learned the master's knife skills but didn't learn the inner principles.

  The time spent on shaving is also a university question, many skilled barbers often cut and trim your hair to save face in terms of time and convenience when asking for payment.

  The master left in a hurry and probably forgot to mention this point, so the apprentice "two-faced three knives" gave me less than 5 minutes to basically finish the work.

  She must have been terrified to shave a head for 5 minutes, which would be detrimental to the reputation of the profession. So she had no choice but to repeatedly play with my hair, trimming and tidying it up, feeling as embarrassed as Fang Hongjian did in the first lesson when he finished teaching the prepared content too quickly and then had nothing more to say.

  Dragging on for 20 minutes, the merit is complete, touch that bunch of lifesavers to express gratitude, then straighten your back and ask for money.

  It wasn't until after I paid the money that I felt a little scared.

  Because now shaving is mainly done by inexperienced barbers who are not skilled enough, it's unlikely to get a good shave from one of them; or even if you're lucky and get a slightly better one, they'll still either cut your scalp or leave patches of hair no matter how hard or soft your scalp is.

  That haircut was quite satisfactory, especially worth mentioning is that she spent a few minutes carefully carving out a few strands of hair that were particularly outstanding, unwilling to blend in with the crowd, often standing out to show their identity.

  This makes me miss our old teacher, Yao Ming. Whenever anyone's head was in his hands, it would inevitably become a flat head, so there was no need to worry about having a swollen head.

  Moreover, his service is very thorough, especially when washing hair, it can make your whole body feel comfortable and refreshing.

  The most disappointing thing is that when you are half-human and half-god, his hand suddenly stops moving and hands over the towel.

  Nowadays, washing your hair in the store is like killing someone. First, put your head in the sink and then either have a slow trickle for half a day that only wets the left hemisphere; or "whoosh" like Huangguoshu Waterfall, and before you can make a sound, water fills up your nostrils.

  When it comes to scratching the itch, I only feel a sharp claw moving back and forth in a small area on the top of my head, while the itchy spot in the corner is getting even more itchy, making me want to kneel down and beg the barber to have a broader perspective and eyes that can see all directions.

  Finally, the scratching reached the itchy edge and my whole body trembled, with tears almost bursting out. I thought to myself that luck had finally turned around, and without thinking, I asked her to scratch a bit more comfortably, but instead she straightened my head and continued operating in the center.

  After messing around for a bit, I'll just wrap things up quickly.

  Forget it, let's just drop it.

  Then another wave of fashion came along and parted hair slightly off center.

  At the same time, women's fashion shorts also originated from there.

  In a short while, it's hard to distinguish between men and women. When meeting someone for the first time, people would ask: "What is your sex?" The answer was: "I am male."

  That's the disadvantage of this type.

  Later on, after learning about the golden ratio in mathematics, I understood that it was a beauty of harmony and nature.

  In order to have a golden ratio head, I need to get a haircut again.

  However, "Golden Section" cannot be an eternal theme either.

  One of my friends is a ball fan and also pursues avant-garde fashion that always follows the trend.

  Two years ago during summer vacation after watching the World Cup there was a big discovery outside of the theme which is that most people in this world who are good at football are bald.

  According to his research, this is because the bald head shines brightly in the sunlight, making it easy for teammates to aim and pass the ball. In addition, it can also make opponents dizzy, like European table tennis players using shiny paddles to stimulate Chinese players' eyes as a tactical move.

  After completing his studies, he got rid of the bad habit that Chinese scientists had from Ming to application cycle for a long time and shaved his head.

  Originally, his head was shaped like a Santana, with edges and corners, and it looked like the logo of the famous computer company "Founder" after shaving.

  We failed to dissuade him. He found a "Sina" barber shop. Beforehand, he had agreed on the price with the boss, which was twice as expensive as usual due to the large amount of labor involved.

  Seeing the electric razor of the barber moving back and forth on my friend's uneven head, a large piece of hair fell off, which reminded me of autumn harvest.

  "After the autumn harvest", a friend's bald head caused a commotion on the street.

  He's so proud of himself, while we're busy with two things: on the one hand, keeping a distance from him to avoid people thinking that his multi-sided head is our doing; on the other hand, explaining to acquaintances on the road: "That guy in front, ah! He just got back from chemotherapy for his terminal illness...". People who shave their heads voluntarily often make those who are forced to do so feel both envious and resentful.

  My bald friend's district has a biology teacher who is also the head of the teaching and research group, who understands from the embryonic stage to how it becomes white and the structure composition of the head, but unfortunately, he can't keep his own head.

  He was in charge of a group of mischievous students, exhausted and unfortunately went bald at the age of thirty, and then went bald again within a year, just like Ronaldo, so he had to wear a hat and fake hair.

  After I became friends with that person, eight bald heads suddenly appeared in school, so the biology teacher was forced to abandon his fake hair and become a trendsetter.

  I don't have the courage to shave my head, it's always parted in the middle like gold.

  After going to Songjiang to attend boarding high school, my deskmate unexpectedly discovered that I had a white hair.

  I don't believe he clumsily pulled out a dozen or so of my black hairs as burial objects.

  I've thought it through and I'm not just mature, but too mature, old enough to be a grandfather.

  However, the fear of premature aging was immediately dispelled by the all-powerful literature - Cui Hu's poem "Sending someone north after the bandits were pacified" revealed: "In a foreign land, white hair is seen in the old garden, and green mountains are seen" - it turns out to be so! If you don't have that kind of thing at home, but drift outside and think about your hometown, thinking about white hair has come! The most typical one is Li Bai, who wandered around the world without a fixed abode, and I estimate that he thought about his hometown until he was confused, reaching the level of "three thousand feet of white" in "Autumn River Song".

  I first grew a few white hairs and then lost a lot of them. As the poet He Zhizhang said, "The local accent is unbeatable, but the temples are thinning."

  According to the same table's view, this is the reason why my head is too long and the supply of nutrients is not up. So in order to prevent baldness, it's best to go for a haircut.

  I went for a haircut after evening self-study.

  There is a corridor at the school gate with a closed door but a sign hanging on it: Open for business.

  I excitedly knocked on the door and the boss lady opened it asking what service I wanted. I simply said I wanted a haircut.

  She looked surprised and asked: "Do you want dry cleaning?" I took a look at the clothes, which were quite clean, and said: "No, just cut my hair."

  So I was driven out.

  So he just left it like that and didn't follow the trend anymore.

  It's not that I don't want to rush, it's just that I'm not capable of rushing.

  Yesterday's popular flat head, today's popular long temples. A few very long temples can even pass under the chin. Change for a day and become a man with shoulder-length hair.

  Will the three temples met on the wooden road change direction and hang on their shoulders?

  The latest fashion trend is that I have become a pioneer of fashion trends.

  The trend is something that can only be followed, not pursued. This is the same logic as waiting for a train at a train station. Staying obediently at the station will always have an arriving train. As for the train that has just departed, we ordinary people cannot catch up with it.
