On a normal, day to day basis, I like to wear my hair straight. I find that my naturally curly hair has a tendancy to "misbehave", and I just don't like the uncertainty of that. So, I straighten it. I take a flattening iron to my often-dubbed "beautiful" curls, and get rid of them! Good riddance!
However, every once in a while, I feel the need (or the unwillingness to take the time to straighten) to let my curly-ness FLOW FREE!
Today was one of those days, and I was suprisingly pleased with the results. I woke up when my alarm went off; not hitting the snooze button as I usually do. I washed my hair and spent the majority of the morning applying products and styling, leaving only a few minutes for outfit-choosing. I walked out of the house uncertain of my hair, since last glance at a mirror had not shown promise.
BUT... when I finally had the chance (during my free block today) to look at myself in a mirror, I had a pleasant surprise. Nicely shaped, defined (still somewhat frizzy from the rain) curls greeted my eyes. I had achieved what so many of us strive for, and yet remains unattainable; "a good hair day."
Congratulations, hair. You have impressed me today. You have saved yourself from a severe tounge-lashing and numerous put-downs (from myself- don't worry, I'm not bullied).
Ah, the drama of having hair.
