I'm Too Sexy For My Hair

I have maintained a short hair cut most of my life. Simply
because as a working mother it was easy to just get up,
moisturize, brush and go. As of late and now that I am in my
early fifties I have decided that I want longer hair. Now I am
well aware that longer hair will make me look older, but I don't
care. I want longer hair. My stylist has been cringing because I
will not let her cut it. Let's face it the cut and style of your
hair can transform your look and personality from oh! my gosh! I
am having a very bad hair day to I'm too sexy for my hair
glamour. For Breast Cancer Awareness month I wanted to put
together a similar event like the one I had read about that was
done by a salon in Texas. I wanted this event to help raise
money and the event would be a cut-a-thon. Then I realized that
wouldn't work. I am loyal to my stylist and I have only allowed
her to cut my hair the last ten years. One Saturday I made the
mistake while babysitting my grandsons to take them around the
corner to a local barber shop to get their hair cut. I don't
think my son-in-law ever forgave me for deviating from his
regular barber. He said their hair was cut slightly crocked. We
know that if our hair is cut wrong for the shape of our faces it
will detract from our good looks (smile) our charm and glamour
which is innate to every face. Also realize that if you
mishandle your hair it could lead to your hair becoming the
worst feature of your appearance. I know because I've been there
and done that plenty of times. About eight years ago I decided I
wanted to be bold and different for the summer. I wanted my hair
to look dark while having a slight purplish tint that should
only be noticeable if the light hit my hair a certain way. Well
low and behold my hair turned out light, bright lavender. Just a
note, never, ever dye your hair on a Sunday night when you have
to go to work on Monday morning and you ain't got time to
correct the mistake. Another lesson learned was never compromise
on quality. Now I use a natural hair dye, not Henna which is a
little too drying for me. But having said that, I recommend
Mayonnaise as a great conditioner for dry hair. Depending on the
length of your hair, it is recommended to apply approximately a
½ cup. Work it in really well, and then cover your hair with a
plastic bag for about fifteen minutes. And of course rise
thoroughly and then shampoo as usual. Think of this as a
pre-conditioning step.
