A thing about Hair
As the third daughter in our little family, my mother chose to keep my hair really REALLY short. The style was known as short back and sides and was actually a boy cut. All I ever really wanted was long hair. But we are a family with really thick hair and I can remember how my sisters suffered from mom brushing their hair out and was always really grateful that it was not me.
During my high school years I had maybe two years where I grew my hair out, but as I was very active I could not handle the hair hanging in my neck and voluntarily chose to cut my hair.
During the years I have always had a battle with long or short – what should it be. The minute it got to neck length I would go in for a trim and walk out with it all chopped off.
For the past two years, I have been growing my hair and I am at that stage again, should it grow or should I chop it all off. The irony is my hair is very heavy and has always fallen flat, but now its suddenly developed a curl. I don’t know if its because I’ve decided to stop coloring my hair and finally celebrating the fact that I am going gray, and the hair itself has changed because of the gray.
But one thing I’ve finally admitted to myself is, honestly, I don’t know what to do with it. The last time I went in for a cut the hairdresser used one of those thinning scissors on my head and it’s created all these ends that are constantly irritating me in my neck and down my back.
To make matters worse is I spend hours in bed at night reading – what do I do with the bush on my head? How do you sleep with it? Bedhead is a deadhead. How do you girls do it?
