Hair Is Beauty

Hair is beauty
We get it fluffed, curled, died, fixed
We get it highlighted, lowlighted, razored,
But what if we lose it?

Let’s say our hair is gone
It has all fallen out
Are we still beautiful?

Are babies not beautiful?
Are seven-year-olds who have cancer not beautiful?
Are gorgeous women who are taking radiation not beautiful?

Hair is beauty
But should it be?

I was stuck all day at on-line seminars, so I had to do something while I was pretending to take notes.

We look beautiful even without hair dear Caren mam.I can feel the emotions in your thought-provoking Muse.:-) I had long black straignt hair.Recently I trimmed to my shoulder length.But people around me who are in love with my hair are angry on me for trimming my own hair:-! Each one admires so many qualities from us.So more than anything our soul must be beautiful:-) Take care.Much love~Deepa:-)
