Hair woes…
I got 99 problems and my hair is one…
My wavy hair has a natural tendency to go big, puffy, unruly and wild. It would be so cool if I could romanticize the situation by saying, “My hair’s like my personality! It wants to roam free, and it simply will not be tamed!”

But I can’t.
So I won’t.
I’ve had much more terrible haircuts than I can count, and have spent many, numerous hours and possibly millions of watts frying my hair into submission, trying to outwit its natural tendencies.
The hardest thing about handling my hair has always been just figuring out what the hell to finish with it…
My mother has naturally straight hair and has never really been into hairstyling, so she had no clue. and none of my friends growing up had curly hair, so I couldn’t turn to them for advice, either.
It took a looong time — maybe 20 years — to finally get some kind of deal with on my hair.
Now, I mostly know how to wrangle it into submission, so these days, I’m much more concerned about my roots. I used to be able to go at least two months between touch-ups, but as much more gray peeks through, I’m down to every six weeks.

I actually don’t mind going to the beauty salon to get them done. Its a good break to sit still for a few hours and read trashy magazines and drink tea.
Entä sinä? What’s the most challenging aspect of handling your hair?
