Born with many ringlets, I have done everything to my hair. I’ve slept with bandanas to try to flatten it; I’ve had it straightened. I got a Dorothy Hammil cut which little girls with curls should never have. Ive dyed it and braided it like Bo Derek. And like you, I, too, sported a brush cut. It was growing out by the time prom was rolling around. So I wore a hat.
Now, I don’t complain about my hair.
Because I have it.
I means my cells are being good. I don’t have cancer, and I am not in radiation. I have found other things to worry about and just be grateful for my unruly, surly hair. It fits my personality better.
Recently, The Versatile Blogger Award was bestowed upon me. I’d like to pass it on to you, in hopes that many more will find your blog, and appreciate you like I do!
The details for passing it on are in my latest post.
What a great memory! I love the way you turned it into a story – I’m always awed by people who can share their memories and experiences in such a vivid, tangible way.

I adore your hair Renee!!! And I am loving my long dirty blond hair nowadays. It makes me feel like a woman. LOVE your prom story!
My hair suffered many a perm because there wasn’t the tiniest hint of curls in it and well… I grew up in the 80s.
I saved the hairy-kiri for my Barbie dolls…
Nice to “meet” you.
It is so nice to meet you too Kelly!! Love the hairy-kiri on Barbie dolls–my own daughter does that all the time! xo, ~el.

Hairy Kiri! I love it! I just posted last week about cutting off all my hair, but not that short!
Great post!
