curls...

I am born in the 80's. I love big fun curly hair. I am always fawning over my friends with this type of hair. Well since I was 12 yrs old, I have colored or chemically damaged it way too many times a year. But for the past 4 years I have taken a break for the most part with moments of weakness here and there...

Almost a year ago, In July of 2009 I cut off the last bit of damaged hair. I HAD virgin hair for almost 11 mths exactly! I got a perm 3 years ago and after 4 months of not knowing how to care for it... I was over its frizzy tangly mess. I finally figured out how to deal with curls but it was too late,  I grew it out and committed to never going back (even though I knew in my heart I would probably not live that out... I'd most likely try again someday...)

.... So I googled perm trends in 2010... I got inspired about 10 days ago... my last hair cut was in February when I was 8 mths pregnant, I got it cut in florida on my girls vacation to visit my mom and step sister, I called it my "buccaneer sexy haircut." (another hair story).  I have NEVER been able to go for more than 2 months without a desperate makeover need... but not this year... my hair is healthier and stronger than its ever been!

So tonight I took the plunge I was rolled. I am CURLY... Its sort of wet still so the bigness is not in its fullness... but I'm pretty happy with how it turned out! I can finally live up the wet hair look, when I walk out the door I won't look completely unfinished on every "hairwash day" because let's admit it, how many people have a few designated "hairwash days" a week? That's normal right? Especially for me... its like a serious event in my home when I can take a shower long enough to wash my hair too! Ha!
