beltaineladyToday I am grateful for my hair. I have very fine, thin, fragile hair that breaks and splits if you look at it funny. Since I was young, it's been permed, straightened, curled, colored and every other process known to man. I've had various cuts, colors and styles. And it's always been difficult to maintain.
A few months before moving to Birmingham, I shaved myself bald, figuring that a black and purple Mohawk wouldn't go over to well in 'Bama. Since then, I've done nothing to it other than boost my natural color with henna. It hasn't even been trimmed.
And my hair is thicker and healthier than it's ever been before. It's grown in naturally and has it's own natural layering. It actually has body! I won't be touching it until it really needs a trim; in two years I've turned my hair from a limp mess into a rather nice head of hair. If I want a severe change, I'll just wear a wig from now on.
Yeah...so it's a little narcisstic, but I really AM grateful.
