I was busy last week, so I didn’t participate in The Vintage Apple‘s Oh, How Pinteresting! Wednesday. This week, I had totally forgotten about it until I saw where Cindy had posted hers. Looking for some inspiration for my theme for this week, I thought I’d see what she had to share.
After looking at her post, I knew what my theme would be: I’m STILL brooding over my bad haircut. All of these pins come from the Curly Hair Problems blog. While I didn’t take the time to go through all of the funnies there, I did go through several, which I pinned to my “The Truth According to Me” board. Maybe if I keep reading these and chuckling, my own situation won’t seem so bad.
Before I got my shorter cut last spring, which I really liked, my hair hung almost halfway down my back. Of course, I had no real style to it, and it was super easy to pull back into a thoughtless ponytail. This is why I grew it out:

I literally saw the guy do a double-take and his eyes light up when he saw me walking toward his kiosk while I was at the mall in San Antonio. We had just gotten off the riverboat cruise and it was windy, so you can imagine what I looked like… I smiled and shook my head no as I walked by. Anyway, I kept the long hair because I was always so fearful this would happen:

Here’s why you can’t do that:

Or in my case, a curly helmet. So now I’m back to growing it out again. In the meantime, if I see you and you have great-looking curly hair, watch out.

Well, I’ll more likely ask you who cuts your hair because I’m in the market for a great stylist. (I had an excellent one a few years ago who made my long mop look good – because I couldn’t be talked into anything else at the time. Sadly, she died of cancer.)
I’m open to any advice you can give me about waiting out the growth of a bad haircut… For now, I’m considering dying my hair orange because I could so easily do this:
These are all so true! I heard vitamin B helps your hair grow.
I’m straight-haired, but LOL about the Mad Hatter!
