“You wore your hair down!”
Well, this is my very own hair. And to be quite honest, I had a rather terrible relationship with it for several years of my life. (This was of course after my bald phase, which lasted approximately two years.) I am well aware than many girls would die to have hair like mine, and they spend large amounts of money to artificially curl it, as I’ve been told multiple times. But it’s just not the same if wild and crazy hair is forced upon you. I used to tie it up EVERY SINGLE DAY, and then I’d randomly wear it down, and I’d get, “You wore your hair down!” all day. Still do. Because I still tie it up EVERY SINGLE DAY. —See pictured:
“How did you do that?”
This I could not do in high school. Somehow I discovered in Hawaii that my hair would stay tied in a knot without an elastic, and there was no going back from there. I don’t know if there’s been a day that my hair hasn’t ended up in a knot, even with all the friendly comments I get about how they love that I wore my hair down. I have, however, been asked about fifty times how I do that cool style. But then there’s the fancier way, which is a combination of my two signature styles:
“I really like how you did your hair.” [Why, thank you!]
That’s the very kind comment I always get when I do this. And it’s kind of weird that you can tell my hair only occasionally goes up like that, because it’s not bleached in the middle.
“Did you straighten your hair?/ Did you get extensions?/ Your hair is SO LONG!”
Well surprise, surprise. My hair is much longer than anyone ever knew. That’s all. This task takes roughly 40 minutes, or a large portion of a movie, to accomplish. I can’t keep my hands out of it, because I don’t know how to deal with that much hair! And it just doesn’t tie up like it should!
“uhhhhhhhh”
Finals Week tradition. Please choose to be impressed. That’s all.
I love everything about this blog.
Thank you, Camille! I just barely washed my hair for the first time in 15 days. The dreads are officially gone.
This makes me think of one of the many times that I have been with you and someone has come up and asked you about your hair. The one that stands out in my mind is when we were waiting for Sophie and Lauren to finish trying clothes on at DI, and we were lounging on the floor talking about music!
