My Curly Hair Story

by Lily
(Bend, Oregon)

I have very long spiral hair, which I have spent hundreds trying to straighten, but nothing ever lasts. I am very self conscious about my hair, because when I was 16, I had a nurse tell me that the problem with curly hair is, it always looks dirty and unkempt.

From that day on, I have been really self conscious about wearing it curly and loose, because I always feel people think it looks dirty and unkempt. I get the impression people think if they shake it, birds and other creatures will come flying out.

I will never forget Vidal Sassoon saying that women with curly hair should put a bag over it. I won't cut it though, but I do secretly sometimes want to shave my head, because it is a lot of work! Anyway, that's my story and I'm sticking to it.

Sincerely,

Lily
