I grew up with curly hair...problem...wrong time period. A teen in the seventies was definitely not in vogue with wavy-kinky-WILD hair.
I worked really really really hard to straighten those curls.
Orange rollers were a major part of my high school years, the kind that were the size of soup cans. I pulled all my hair on top of my head and wore three orange rollers until my hair dried. While it worked for a winter inside day it did NOT work in the humidity of the south. I battled those waves and curls with the might of a Samurai warrior.
When daughter Lindsay reached high school, the advent of hair straighteners that really work saved her from the perils of teenage woes due to hair issues.
At some point, she suggested I should try it on my hair. Oh my ---y'all, a whole new world was opened to me.
I have worn my hair in a nice sleek bob to shoulder length "do" ever since.
Lindsay suggested the other night after seeing someone on TV that I should try mine curly again.
I had my regular hair appointment on Friday morning, so she curled it all up for me.
It is funny, it is still curly when I let it dry naturally, but not nearly what it used to be. Age has straightened it up tons.
It was a nice change...not sure if I will wear it this way everyday.
Hubby deemed the curly look a bit more casual, and my usual not so casual.
I am undecided on the look.
Thankful for hair straighteners,
Sandy
