Hair

I have had so many different experiences with my hair throughout the years.  I have to admit, I am not the best at making good decisions when it comes down to my hair.  When I was a Sophomore in High School, I decided I wanted to have curly hair.  Every other girl around had beautiful wavy/curly hair.  I was so envious.  I went to a family friend and asked her if she could perm my hair.  She said she would give me a trial perm because she didn't think my hair would hold any sort of curl.  I went in and got the back and underside of my hair permed.  It stayed for about 48 hours, then fell out!  Yeah, my hair is just that straight guys.
I had a better plan...
My Freshman year of college, I went home and got myself a perm.  When the lady asked me how tight I wanted the curls, I said that my hair wouldn't hold curl so as tight as possible would do.  She decided to do the smallest rings to my hair, then keep the product in twice as long.  Not my smartest decision.  My hair came out fried!  I tied it back all of the time or put it in piggy tails or braided it.  I obviously avoided the camera as well since this is about the only picture I have with that hair.

Oh don't worry, my hair didn't fall out.  I did however have to wait 2 full years for my hair to grow out.  The perm started looking funny about 5 months later.  My hair was straight about 4 inches, then the hair took a 90 degree turn and POOFED into a ball of ugliness, not to mention coloring my hair brown soon after perming my hair.

I learned my lesson

I have always wanted curly hair, and still do wish for a little body every once in a while.  My husband knows how much I love curly hair and for Christmas, He got me THE WAND!

If you know anything about the wand, you know it heats up to 450 degrees and only takes 20 minutes to do your hair.  AMAZING!  I just realized i don't have a picture of my hair done with the wand, but I promise, it looks a lot like this

I love how well this works.  I would have never been a believer in such a product because nothing has ever held curl as well as this thing does, but it really works!  I am pretty excited and happy about that Christmas gift.  I have an amazing husband who got a great gift that i only mentioned once.  :)  He is the best.  I will have to post another picture soon of my curly hair.
