I Cut My Own Hair Nowadays :P

I used to do what a lot of people did - I would brush my hair every day and put it in a ponytail because it was unruly. I didn't realize until I was about 13 that I actually had curly hair, and it was several more years before I figured out how to take care of it without just loading it down with mousse or gel.

I have not shampooed or brushed my hair in about two years now. I have to cut it myself because I live in a small town with no salons, but I taught myself how to cut a good stack in the back and proper bangs for a curly haircut. I'm actually amazed at the possibilities for haircuts for curly hair!

I love my hair now that I know how to care for it, and I am constantly getting compliments on it. People are even more jealous when I tell them that I don't do anything but air dry :)
