Straight Hair

Pretty much everyone I know at some point asks me if I ever straighten my hair. The answer is: rarely. I feel like I'm mean to my hair when I put all that product in it and use a hair dryer and flat iron. Plus, the curly hair suits me.

I straighten my hair myself maybe three times a year for various reasons. However, every stylist I let touch my hair needs to straighten it for me. They either just want me to come out looking differently than I went in, or they just want to see if it can be done. I always giggle when I tell a new stylist it's naturally curly, but she washes my hair and says "wow! It really is curly!" Um, yeah.

Anyway, I straightened it a few months ago and then went over to my Aunt and Uncle's house for Mother's Day. Turns out they had never before seen me with straight hair! I was shocked! I swear I had it straight my entire seventh-grade year. Weird.

So, just for fun, here's a photo of me after my latest haircut in March (where, of course, the stylist felt the need to straighten my hair, probably to cover up the fact that she had ignored all of my instructions... but that's another story):



Meanwhile, this is me photoshopped into a still from Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix. Just in case anyone wondered what I'd look like as a brunette...



Different, eh?

I love you so much, you make me so way happy!! Straight hair makes you look so different. And, although you look alright as a brunette, I like you better as a blonde!!

It is so unfair when a person can look georgous with straight or curly hair. I love your curly hair, but I also think you look great with it straightened - but you probably weren't asking for people's opinions...

You all are just too cute. Thanks for your kind words. Nice to know I won't have too much backlash if I decide to change the hair up a little...
