Hating My Hair
I’ve always had a love/hate relationship with my hair. It’s frizzy and stubborn, but it’s also thick and has a small amount of natural curl. I get more compliments on my hair than anything, and yet sometimes I just want to shave it all off.
Over the past few weeks it has developed this extremely annoying tendency to pouf out right next to my temples. Kind of like a lot of people wore their hair in the eighties, except they had to coax it and spray it to make it stay like that. While I might have appreciated it back then, it’s driving me nuts now.
I am a big advocate of wash-and-wear hair. As stubborn as my hair has always been, it just takes way too much effort to get it to do what I want it to. So for many years now, I’ve worn it all one length, and done little more than put a little gel in it to keep the frizz down and let it dry naturally. Up until recently, it has worked out nicely most of the time.
Any suggestions on what to do about my little unwanted wings? I know I could have my hair straightened or permed, but I swore off chemical treatments long ago and don’t want to go back to them. But something is going to have to give.
