Curl to Straight, Straight to Curl
Have you ever just
thought about how our
body, likes, dislikes and
life changes over the
years?
The other day I looked
in the mirror and
a thought hit me
about the change in
me since birth.
Other than I am
OLD
now.
My hair...
My granny lived in
Georgia and we were
in Calif when I was born.
Mom sent pics of
course and granny
told me that
she thought I was a
Japanese baby.
I had black hair and
small slanted eyes.
HAHA
But on top of that,
well on top of my head
I had curl to my
hair.
I could not really understand
it but when we
moved to KY, the water
being softer than Calif.
my hair began to
go straight.
I would have thought
it would be the other
way around.
As I grew and was
in high school, curling
irons were available.
tell the hair was still
DARK.
Then the color started to
change.
Why does it always
start at the temple/sides?
As the gray came
I really started
hitting the
bottle...
Loving Care!
When the hair started to
thin more and more...
I decided to stop
hitting the bottle.
I myself was
surprised to see the
color under all the dye.
IT WAS
GRAY....
GRAY....
More so then I thought it
would be.
(check out the pic above...this was
taken by my friend Pam, I was holding up
my small camera cause at that time I had
a flip one (lol), and as she took the pic
my image was showing on the came
cause I had it on)
(another note....loved that cut)
My hair dresser kept
telling me to stop
coloring, it was
beautiful.
And girls would come in
wanting the salt and
pepper/silver look
but they could not
produce it.
Over the last three yrs
or so the salt and pepper
has gone to salt and
sugar.
You see the pepper in the bottom
of the hair?
Well, last week I kissed
that goodbye when I
went and had my hair cut.
I was wearing it
all one length until
a couple months ago and
I then had the front part
cut a little shorter.
But for the first time
in a million years...
haha
okay, truth, since the 70s
I went to my hair dresser
and asked to have
a
SHAG.
haha...
they are back!
I did this cause my one length
and gray hair was totally
frizzy even when
I used produce to stop
it. Layers are really helping
that, plus it gives my
hair volume!
Also had the front cut
shorter.
It behaves better!
Anyway, I started this
post to basically
tell you that once
what was curls, went
straight and now
over the last seven
to ten years my hair now
has its own natural
wavy curl.
Strange how things like
that go.
When my mom in law
took chemo, she
lost all her gray straight hair
but it came back curly
and dark.
Life it full of
all sorts of things.
I am waiting to
wake one morn and
my hair be all
dark, almost
black again!
Okay, maybe I will
dream it before
I wake!
What color is
your
NATURAL
hair color now?
What color are
you wearing?
If you could go
back to your
teens, what would
you tell yourself teen
self? I would tell me
to take better care of
my back, eat so
much better and
pray I avoid
Fibro.
