Another Bad Hair Day - who cares???

Every day I look in the mirror and say "I need a haircut." It wouldn't matter if my hair was cut or not. It has a mind of it's own. Every day is a bad hair day. Every single day. Hair stylists all like my hair. It is thick and healthy and has a natural wave. What they don't understand is that it only behaves at the salon. At home, it just makes me crazy! If I want it to curl one way, it curls the other. If I want it straight, it flips out. Every day I want to grab handfuls of it and pull it out.

I have 2 cowlicks on either side of my bangs. Imagine that....not 1.... but 2!!!! My bangs never go the way they are supposed to. One side always looks shorter than the other, because it is curled into the cowlick. I'd love to meet the cow that licked my head!

I do have nice hair when it behaves. With a little bit of effort, a round brush and a hair dryer, I can get it to look pretty nice. Or with some curling gel and a diffuser, I can scrunch it into a a lovely curly mop. I think I have 2 kinds of curling gel and 4 kinds of mousse. And don't forget the infusium leave in conditioner. Sometimes it works. Sometimes it just doesn't matter.

Thank goodness my girls don't have my hair. Maybe they will never have the bad hair days I have had. Katie has nice thick reddish/golden hair. And Becky has thin, fine, straight brown hair. Katie has 1 cowlick, and Becky has NONE! She's so lucky....actually neither really cares how their hair looks from day to day, and that's a blessing in itself.

When I get out of the shower in the morning, I think of what I have planned for the day. If I have to leave the house and go out in public (yes, I do leave the house from time to time) I TRY to make my hair presentable. Usually I spend way too much time fussing, give up, and figure no one really cares what my hair looks like anyway. It's a losing battle. There are many days I stand in front of the mirror, wondering what the heck I am going to do with my hair today. Those are the days I am ever so grateful to be working at home.
