Hair
No, I'm not about to break out into song about zodiac signs. This is more a rumination about my crowning glory. I think I've had 4 hairstyles my whole life, maybe 5. I never seem to be quite comfortable with any of them and now is really no exception. I got a haircut about a year ago and then couldn't decide if I liked it or not, so I just let it keep growing. When I'm undecided, I just abstain from deciding; a decision in and of itself, I know, but just how I roll. Two friends decided this was not the right path. When I said, for the millionth time "Oh, I just can't decide what to do with my hair", one friend sent ideas, pictures no less. All 4 were fairly short (to me), but she was getting her hair did soon, so I made made an appointment convenient for all of us to show up together.
My hair is naturally unruly and since I have no talent for fixing it, I generally don't like looks that require a lot of effort. Unfortunately, most hairstyle books have styles done by professionals who have spent hours on the do. I have neither that much skill or time every day. So with a little liquid courage, I got layers and have actually let it dry and be naturally unruly for over a week. I've gotten lots of compliments, even from people who have no reason to lie to me about how it looks, so I'm starting to think it's OK. Maybe.....
