Hair Stories - Friday Five

These were fun to answer :-)

1. Is your hair naturally curly, wavy, or straight? Long or short? It’s very wavy and, unfortunately, very fine so it tangles like crazy. When I was a kid I was a tomboy and my dad would have to take scissors and cut the knots out of my hair just like he did with our Cocker Spaniel.

2. How has your hair changed over your lifetime? When I was a baby it was dark auburn then it lightened to blondish, and then finally became a dark brown as a teen. And from high school on I’ve colored it everything from purple, to blue, to lots of shades of red, dark brown and right now blue black. I’ve always worn it long except for a few years in elementary school when I went through my pixie cut phase.

3. How do your normally wear your hair? Long, usually with bangs cut into it, often pulled back with a barrette or elastic band because it’s so hot here year round. I try and blow dry it as straight as possible most of the time, I even have a straightening iron.

4. If you could change your hair this minute, what would it look like? It would be very straight, thick and shiny, and naturally black. I’d have fabulous Bettie Page bangs (and not the horrid Farrah Fawcett ones that my hair likes to do).

5. Ever had a hair disaster? What happened? I dyed it the wrong shade of black back in my twenties and then panicked in the middle of the night and went out and bought a bleach kit which turned it a weird shade of orange, then I had to redye it darker the same night. Sort of a Laura Petrie thing... My hair was fried from the bleaching for like a year.
