my obession with...my hair.

don't most of us women have a love/hate relationship with our hair?

we all have had good hair days

and not so good {bad} hair days...

i personally, i have an interesting love/hate relationship with my hair. why? because some days, my hair does what i tell it to do and then other days it seems to have a mind of its own. one side wants to curl, the other side doesn't, some days my side swept bangs are looking fab, then the next day they look a hot mess....i could go on and one about this. some days i love my hair and some days i hate it with a passion. when it comes to my hair sometimes it seems as if i'm never fully satisfied. maybe some of you ladies can relate. men just have no idea the struggles some of us women go through with our hair! then to top it off, you have to find the right hair dresser. that's a whole nother relationship. i had to breakup with my long time hair dresser because she became unavailable; however, lucky for me i found a better one! January will be a year since i've been going to this new salon and i l.o.v.e it! i don't know about you, but if my hair is not looking so pretty than i don't feel so pretty. i think hair is what completes a look.

you see, i have whats called "mixed" hair...interesting hair is what it should be called. i have naturally curly hair. growing up my mom started putting relaxers in my hair. big mistake! its been several years since i've had a relaxer done and now my natural curls are coming back. i can pretty much do anything with my hair...curly, straight, wavy, up, down, cornrows, breads...the options are endless with this hair. although, i have so many options, doing my hair can be a struggle. about two years ago, i decided to get my hair cut short. now, for the longest time i would say i was going to cut it, but never would. i guess because i was scared of change. yes, i know hair grows back. but still. i told you...its a strange relationship i have with my hair. anyways, summer was coming around and i wanted a new look, so i finally got the bob cut, i had been obsessing about for the longest. i actually really liked it, and so did everyone else. but now after two years of short hair, i'm ready for a new look...i've been trying to grow it out and its in that middle awkward stage. its a strange feeling having hair on my neck again and i get sudden urges to cut it short, but i'm not going to. i'm going to continue to take my hair vitamins, deep condition on sundays and chop off those annoying split ends every six to eight weeks. early today, i was looking at old pictures and found myself laughing at how many different looks this mop on my head has had.
