Hair

As a kid my hair was a very easy fix, just pull it back with a rubber band into a ponytail. As a teen a ponytail was not going to work, off to the hair shop with picture in hand. I sat in the chair and said, I want to look like this picture. I sat dreaming about my great new hair style, as I looked in their mirror I was horrified. I did not look like the picture I showed them, what had happened to my head of hair. I will fix the professionals, next hair cut was on me. That is when I started to cut my hair, I still laugh when I get asked - can they have my hairdresser's information. I have found some great new friends, hats in all sizes - styles and colors.

Paula, you must be good at cutting your hair, to be asked who your hair dresser is. I have a hack at mine, when it gets on my nerves sometimes. Best wishes… Beryl

- Hair can be tricky... finding the right style that suits your face... hairdressing is really expensive these days... - Funny with hats, Paula :) - Is my hair "bad" I wear a headband or a hat... I don't dare cut it myself :) - A great poem for the contest, good luck :) - hugs

I love your fun poem ! I can relate to this! My hair was straight, long and easier. I turned 30 and it thickened with wave and curl. Very hard to manage any style and hairdressers rarely cut it as I like. I cut my own often. I now plan to straighten it more on my own to manage it, besides the clips and hats lol. Thanks for sharing Paula. Have a great day :)
