Battling Mother Nature....
I have curly hair.
Very curly hair.
When I was young it was down past the middle of my back even when it was curly (which was always). All that length stretched out my curls to look really pretty.
Not to mention my mom would twist sections of my pony tails so it did this really cool spirally thing.
When I was 10 my mother cut off my hair to my shoulders because I had difficulty reaching the middle of the back of my head and would have knots.
I'm still pissed about that because it never grew back to that length again.
I've come close though.
But with all the highlightings, colorings, straightenings or whatever, I mutilated my hair.
Which is why I chopped my hair off back in October vowing that I'd never add another chemical to my hair and never flat-iron my hair without the use of some sort of heat protection.
My goal? To get my hair back to the length it was when I was a kid.
So far -- I've grown back about 3 inches that I cut back in October.
I'm also taking multivitamins to make sure my hair is getting all the vitamins it needs b/c god knows I don't eat right.
All told the hair I wish I had looks like this:
Lindsay Lohan (as completely lost as she is at the moment) has the most beautiful hair I've ever seen. I love that chunky, defined wavy look.... I would kill to get my hair to look like that.
I've googled a gaggle (hehe) of times to try to find out how to get that look. Every technique I've read about didn't work (at least the ones I could afford to try).
I can't stand my curly hair.
I wouldn't mind loose waves -- but these tight curls look like crap!
So I straighten my hair pretty often. But I don't always have time so I have to deal with the bush b!tch look.
Anyway -- yesterday I broke my vow not to put any more chemicals in my hair and bought a product called EasyStraight by Haime Munoz (SIDE NOTE: I've never seen Jaime spelled like that before -- I guess he did that so us stupid Americans wouldn't keep calling him JAY-ME lol).
It was a temporary 1-week treatment that was far less chemical-ly then other straighteners and safe enough to use weekly.
I thought -- huh -- that doesn't sound too bad. A whole week of straight hair in less time than it takes me to flat iron it... sweet! It also touts eliminating frizz on top of the straight hair AND it shouldn't damage my hair.... woohoo!
So I bought it -- went home -- followed the directions step by step.
This is what I look like today:
Does that sh!t look straight to you!? It's not even a little straight!
It's not even in the same time zone as straight!
WTF!?
Gawd, I hate when products don't even begin to do what they say they are going to do.
So - that said, all women within the sound of my blog -- DO NOT USE EASYSTRAIGHT 1 WEEK STRAIGHTENER. It's CRAP. It won't do jacksquat to combat your curly woes.
I bet that Haime SOB is laughing all the way to the bank with my money that I wasted on this product!
Oh wait, he is!
This is him on his website:
You bastard.
That is all.

Sorry luv. I hope this learns ya not to break any more of your vows in the future. LOL. HINT!
I love your curls. I love your hair period.. It's so dark and thick and pretty.. I don't understand why you hate it so much.
I guess I will never get it. Maybe you'd feel better with some cool burgundy highlights?
That is all. (ROFL)
Hair looks good!
Did you ever answer me about the fence?
Talk about a picture saying a thousand words!!! You KILL Me! :)
ROLMAO and peeing my pants. I LOVE that picture! Your face said it all. But seriously, your nose looks straighter.
Embrace your curly hair.. you don't seriously want it STRAIGHT, do you?
Actually, I'd rather it wavy --
If it wasn't a poofy, frizzy mess that requires 10 lbs. of "goop" to keep it in line, I'd LOVE curly hair! LOL
