Hair, Hair Hair!

Okay, as many of you know I have A LOT of hair! It is thick, coarse and sort of wavy/curly. It was always the hardest thing for me in Jr. High/High School to figure out how to make it straight. It never would come out completely straight with a curling iron, which frustrated me to no end. I even took my showers at night just so I could pull my wet hair back into a low pony tail held by a scrunchy, followed by another scrunchy, and another, and if I could fit another one at the end I would put yet another scrunchy in. Then the next morning I would blow dry the damp hair and I thought it worked pretty good, so I don't know how long I kept that up for.

3 years ago, after Jason was born I decided I was going to grow my hair out. Of course there have been many trims and small cuts along the way, but nothing like what I had done before when I got sick of my hair and wanted a "new do". Surprisingly I never got sick of my hair along the way of it growing. Only those with thick hair know the time it takes to blow dry and then to go back and curl it. I have always looked at Brooke Shields and Faith Hill and can relate to their hair, it too is very thick. After all these years I think I have finally come to a place where I LOVE my hair. A lot of the time it is pulled back into a pony tail, but love it when it's actually "done".

Anyway, the purpose for this entry is to give a BIG shout out and THANK YOU to whom ever it was that invented the FLAT IRON!! The key tool to getting it straight! Why it took so long to be invented is beyond me, but then again I can't see how people lived so long with going to the bathroom outside!

So here is a picture of me with my hair all done. (In case you're wondering it takes about an hour from wet hair to this!)
