Hair

Ha ha ha! My daily reading in "Simple Abundance" had to do with the never-ending fight that every woman has with her hair! I know that war, oh-so-well! I thought I'd share a little:

"A woman's hair has for centuries been called her 'crowning glory,' but every woman I know speaks of her intimate relationship with her hair as a nightmare. I don't know any woman personally who really loves her hair, just women who cope. Hair is a living, powerful, mercurial, metaphysical energy force to be respected, reckoned with, and reconciled to, but it cannot be controlled any more than atomic fusion. Occasionally, it can be cajoled into becoming conduct (we refer to these lapses as 'good hair days') but it can never be coerced. Think of all the money, time, creative energy, and emotion we invest in our hair. Yet most of the time it insists on expressing its authenticity, not necessarily ours. I don't know about you, but I'm exhausted from the mini skirmishes I wage with life every day, and the battle with my hair is not the least of them."

Ha ha ha! Geesh. I have dealt with the horror of frizz and curl and wave all my life! I was looking through old pictures last weekend... and there are some doozies! Maybe, if I'm brave enough and in a silly enough mood, I'll post some later...

Do you have secrets to taming your locks? If so, do share! Especially us women - we need to band together in the war against the untameable!

Wishing you the elusive 'good hair day'!
