HAIR..long beautiful hair......NOT

All my life I have wanted "model hair". Long, silky, sexy with curls. Soft and flowing just like in the commercials. That did not happen.....

When I was young I had middle hair..not long..not short. I was the page boy generation.....
But would my hair do that...NO !!!!!!!!!!!!

All my friend had this beautiful page boy and hair I had ....middle hair....straight(like a stick) fine..fine hair.....more boy.... less page.....

This is where the "PERM" comes in....


My hair was so tight ...it made my eyes slant...curled to the scalp and because the perms were so "ammonianey" it crackled.....

Enter the wire curlers......no blow driers, no curling iron...
REMEMBER DIPPITY DO.......

Curl the hair..put the cap on ...go to bed...roll anything up to lay on so the curlers did not stick in your head at night....

"Hair, hair long beautiful hair...come on sing along...I know you know the song.....
When the 70's came along and hair was long and straight.....mine was short and straight

I would have sold my soul to the devil for Farrah Faucet hair.....

But..... I had short,fine ..did I mention straight...like a stick hair.....

Then the 80's and the "FRO" oh yes...I had a "FRO".....for the second time in my life I had curly hair.....loved, loved ,loved the "FRO"....but alas...they did not last...

Next was the short, flippy hair style

I had the short...did I mention my hair is straight (like a stick)....no flip here!!!!

For years I kept a perm in it and wore it really short, curly on top (kinda like an old lady)until I got tired of paying $70.00 for a perm...for reallllly short hair....

Thought I had to perm it cause if it got to long...limp, dishrag..did I mention straight and if it was to short.....with no perm..stick straight up.....use that word a lot huh???
Enter 2008.....hair is still sexy and curly but for some of us ..or me at least..not so sexy and defiantly not curly.....
Before....lots of mousse,curling iron (very small) and lots of hair spray..not bad hair for about 2 hrs. ..then flat sticky up..did I mention straight ?

Last week went to my beautician and announced ....cut it....short...really short...

"You know if I cut it really short...it will stick straight up......

"Exactly!!!!!!!!!!!!"

At almost 61 my fight is over.....I have come to the realization that I am not destined for greatness when it comes to hair.....

Now I have "Wash and wear hair".....wash it and let it dry...out the door...no hassles...no gel ...no time ..no worries...

I love my new old hair.......it actually looks better than the picture but it had rained earlier......also I colored it so no more red
