52 Weeks of Me

Hair

I have been
cursed
blessed with lots of it and very curly.  Because it is so thick and so curly, I don't have many hair styles.  There are times I wish I could do something, anything different.  I have fought many battles with my hair and lost most of them.  It has changed colors over the years and seem to be getting darker now.

I hear the same remark from many woman.  "Women pay lots of money to have hair like yours and I bet you hate it!"  No, I don't hate it.  I have come to the understanding that my hair loves to curl so don't fight it.  Since I have stopped fighting my hair and letting it do pretty much what it wants to, my life and mornings are much better.  I don't know why, but most of the women want to touch my hair.  More so when I am at work.  I always have my hair pulled up at work for this reason.  I would feel that my hair was dirty after so many people want to pet it.  Eww!

I have been flirting with the idea of bangs.  I have been without them for so long, I don't know what I would do with them.

I don't color my hair, because my own color of hair entertains me.  There are so many different colors in it already.  When I spend lots of time outside, there seems to be more colors.  I even have several gray ones.  Yes, I will admit I have them.  They are a badge of honor for me.  I earned everyone of them.  I noticed the first ones when my mother was diagnosed and lost her life to colon cancer.  I'm sure my husband Rick has a few gray hairs on my head with his name on them as well.
