When I was born my hair was very curly and an auburn color. As I grew, my whole family called me "Carrot Top".
However, my hair got darker in my teens and as I got into my forties it turned into a salt and pepper color. I colored it but it looked fake. I decided to cut off all the red and my hair was about 1.5inches long. As I got into my sixties I made a "Bucket List" of things I wanted to accomplish.
Included in my list was to grow my hair long again and leave it curly.
I started using hair products for curly hair, by Frizz-Ease, and started to love my hair. I get compliments daily. My hair reaches from below my ears to my shoulders depending on the weather and when I have washed it. My hair looks unique and I like that. No more straightening or coloring for me. I look natural and I love it.
It has encouraged me to do other Bucket list things, like lose weight, start a business etc. God knows best when he makes us. We just need to make the most of what he blesses us with.
