Your hair is NOT your identity. It doesn't make you the beautiful spirit you are. Your hair is NOT you. With that being said, let's talk about that mane of yours and how it has this insane ability to make or break your day....
It occurred to me a few months ago, when i considered calling off work because my scalp had a bad reaction to some hairspray, (causing flakes the size of Texas!!!) that I was in some serious trouble. My roommate, who happens to also be my hairdresser, got to see the ugly side of Sarah and the tornado of emotions and brushes that ensued.
"This is DISGUSTING!!! Look at me! LOOK AT ME!!!!!! What am I supposed to do?? I hate my life!!! Help me!!! Fix it!!!!"
Yeah, it was a low point in my life. Here I am, a 27 year old female who has a herniated disc, unmarried, financial struggles, constantly struggling with my weight and what causes my life to come to a screeching halt?? My locks. My name is Sarah, and I'm obsessed with my hair.
The first few steps to freedom:
- Admit you have a problem
- Shave your head
- Just kidding about Step #2
- Laugh at yourself
I will be devoting some posts on here to your hair. I live with a hair magician and I've had TONS of personal experience with my curls, so its my divine duty to share what I know. Feel free to share your own hair horror stories, tips you've picked up on the way, or questions you have. (even if I don't have the answer, I've got some good references and I WILL find the answer!) :)
So go forth! Enjoy the rest of your day! If you're not liking what your seeing on your head, wrap it up in a scarf or cover it with a fun hat. DON'T obsess over it and let it ruin your mood.
Smiles!!
