Some of us are blessed with straight hair, others with curly hair and some are blond and some are brownish. When I was a little girl, waaay back in the 70s, I was a blond girl with some nice waves in the hair. The older I got my hair turned darker and darker and I became brownish (the colour is described as "Swedish rat" boring brownish/greyish - I have dyed my hair since I was 16, so it was a long time ago I saw my real hair colour) but I still had a nice wavy hair.
The big change came the year between 11 and 12 (early 80s - a hellish year - everything became diffrent - you all know what I mean, Ladies). During that year my hair totally change... I became very curly and I mean CURLY. OK, both my mother (curly with red hair!) and my father (curly with black hair) has curly hair, so it was no surprice (the only one with nice wavy hair in the family is my sister...). So since I was 11 1/2 years old I have been on war against my curly hair. A constant war to get it less curly. My biggest enemy: My hair and moist weather... The only thing working for that is a hat... The past years I have become more calm about my hair - but I still fight the curly, I'm trying to tame them, somedays I win and others my hair win..
I was at the hair dresser today. I needed a hair cut and what's always happen is that the hair dresser goes completly gaga over my hair and the blow it bigger and bigger everytime... So when I walked out from the hair saloon I had the feeling of a big 'fro.. To tame it, I'll braid my hair (I always have a braid during the night..) So I'll hope I have a less afro tomorrow.
Dream hair? Long and straight!! ;-)
Happy Birthday, Ia! I hope the kids and the grumpy man celebrated you big time! Paket kommer!KRAMAR!

This is completely hilarious. You wish you had long, straight hair. I have long, straight hair. *I* wish I had long, CURLY hair. You have long, curly hair!
Too bad we can't trade!

LOL We always want what we don't have. Mine is curly too but not as much as yours. My worst fear at the salon is that they'll cut too much off because they forget how much it curls up when its dry. Then I end up with some crazy short do that does nothing for me. Anyway, your hair and you are very pretty.

Nice photo, nice hair, but I understand you we have same problem. It´s like that people with straight hair like to have curly hair and versus.
Kram Mum

Jag säger som övriga: jag skulle gääärna byta!!
jag hade mycket lockigare hår förr, numer är det bara lite småkurvigt. Jag saknar lockarna, och sådana lockar som du har är ju så vackert!!
Jättefin bild på dig!

I know exactly how you feel! I watch TV and see shampoo commercials that say "You'll feel like you just walked out of a salon!" and I think, "Why would I want to feel so awful?"
They NEVER get it right. They want to put a tiny dab of gel in my giant mess of hair and pretend it's enough, then they blow dry it until I look like a Muppet. Argh!
