This post is all about me....as most of them are. But this one is about my vanity. I live in a very humid climate and my hair has gotten curlier and curlier since moving here. Frankly, it has driven me a little crazy. It doesn't seem to grow longer, but wider and poofier.
I have always had naturally curly hair. But this hair has been wild and crazy and tightly wound. So, I made the decision to have it relaxed (aka....straightened). My friends recommended a good place that had degrees of straightening. Last Monday I went in and told the stylist that I wanted my hair less curly but still a little bit curly. The result? STRAIGHT AS A BOARD!
Please understand I have NEVER had to "fix" my hair my hair in my life and this week I have had to actually curl my hair. I know this won't last, and my thought (hope)is that my curls will come back slowly and not so wild and crazy!
My husband has never seen me with straight hair in the 15 years we have been together, so he was a little shocked but has gotten used to it. And my kids didn' t know what to think about my straight hair for the first day, but by the end of the week said they liked it. In fact, Hannah's first reaction was, "Mom, what are you going to do? It is your curly hair that makes you special?!?" That made me smile.
My decision was based on my good friend Kristi Chaffin who says, "It's only hair!"
