Got about five inches of hair cut off this morning and I no longer look like a crazy old witch or one of those people who fetishise their hair! lol Yay! :D Those dry ends really needed to go. It's still long, just not weirdly long.
Thanks to a recommendation from my beautiful curly haired daughter Alison, I get a Deva cut for people with curly (or in my case, wavy) hair. I'm so much happier with the end result. I CAN straighten it, but I don't WANT to. Grey hair is like me, it has a mind of its own and it's easiest just to work with it instead of trying to force it into being something else. Maybe that's why I like it... narcissism. :p
I can never coax the same amount of curl from my hair at home that the stylist can. I also don't have access to a salon bonnet-type hair dryer. I WANT ONE! lol It takes forever to let it dry naturally or with a diffuser on a blow dryer. Plus they remind me of being a kid and sitting on my mom's bed getting my hair dried inside one of those big ol' vinyl bonnet hair dryers from the 60's. They looked bizarre, but they were a lot easier on the hair than blow dryers.
