Blond Curls - Freewrite
Blond curls have been my dream - for a long time. When I was little, I was super blond, almost white in the summer when I spend all my days outside in the sun and whenever possible, near the water.
Then, I wanted long hair since, for practical reasons, I had short hair. My mom had 5 kids and I am pretty sure that one would have been enough in her book. But those were the days before birth control and the average person knowing what to do about babies or rather not to have them.
So, she had 5 and tried to keep up the standards she grew up with - at a time when they had several servants. But that is another story for another time.
When I got older, I had my long hair. And it was a lot of hair but super fine. I still have a lot of hair and it is superfine and now as then, there is not much you can do with it.
Then, I let it hang - now, that would drive me crazy.
And remember the curls? I always, always, always wanted curls. I was so jealous of anyone with a natural curl!!
Luckily or unluckily - depends how you look at it, there are ways to get that curls by putting heavy doses of chemicals on your hair - the crazy thing is that anything you put on your head is absorbed by your body very fast!
Way to go to support your health by adding tons of poison to a part of your body that just loves to drink it up - NOT>
Lucky for me, my hair is so fine and straight that no amount of chemicals made a curl stay in it. During the several tries, I did throughout my (long) life, I either ended up with hair still straight after hours of sitting in a chair (hate that) or being fried, still not really holding a curl and needing to be cut off.
Thank you for saving me from the regular application of crazy-ass poison on my head!!

Same here. Always envy those with natural curls but people envy my straight and need not to use straightener. Anyway, I married a man who has natural curl. I think that's enough for now. Hehe
hahaha - you got your curls after all 😂
Your quest for long curly blonde hair is one most of us women can relate to! Our youngest was a Goldilocks but of course it didn't last. Fine, fair, wavy or curly hair--eh. Ya have it, or ya don't.
Ah, thank you for this reminder on "heavy doses of chemicals on your hair - the crazy thing is that anything you put on your head is absorbed by your body very fast!" - I decided to stop dying my gray hair, then relented and tried temporary dye (good for 28 washes; not as toxic, right?) - and I hated it - I was so glad to have it wash out at last. Husband however would like to see my dye it again. -_-
Perms. Oh Lord, the perms. My hair never seemed to hold them and I'd have to re-perm a week or two later. I was SO GLAD when permed hair stopped being in vogue. It felt so weird to go straight, but now it seems weird to look back at big hair and think that ever looked natural. What we don't put up with in the name of fashion!
Carol!! So nice to see you again!!
I think there might be some natural dyes out now - and you can always try henna. But I don't have the patience to dye my hair and for sure don't want any of the chemical dyes.
Also, don't always trust the label that tells me that it is good for me. After all, at one point, Doctors were convinced that a corset was healthy for a woman :)
