Three days before my birthday: I decided I wanted to curl my hair. I youtubed how to curl your hair with a straightener and then just thought I would put my hair in curlers before I went to bed. When I was younger we used scraps of fabric and then tied it at the end...this made our hair look so curly while my parents really used their resources. The entire time I was putting my hair in curlers, I shot back to my Dad putting my hair in the fabric rollers...he yelled at me...I yelled at him...he yelled at me and so on while he was trying to make his daughter beautiful! Hey, it was worth the try :) Back to the here and now-I woke up the next morning and I looked like Curly Sue. My hair looked wild so I ended up using my straightener and my hair was straight as can be. Strike 1 on making myself look hot prior to my birthday. My hair ended up in a pony tail and my Dad's curling of my hair as I was a child was more successful than mine as an adult, Go Gregor!
Day 2 Before my birthday: I got a gift card to Beauty Brands so I thought it would be fun to buy myself one of those curling irons that makes your hair look wavy. I'd never tried it so I thought it would be great. On my way to buy it, I was talking to my sister on the phone and we decided that it would be good if I put my hair in braids after I showered before I went to bed so it would be more wavy. Being the good sister that I have, she even called me back to make sure that my hair was a little dry before I put the braids in so I took her good advice to work and braided away (Hair partly dry). I woke up the next day with about 12 braids all throughout my head. I was so excited..I was going to be looking stunning that day in preparation for my birthday. I took the braids out. WOAH. I looked like I crimped my hair and walked straight out of an 80's band.
I tried to use the new curling iron I bought to settle those crimps and make it look more wavy; however, I ended up with a FRO. Turns out, I straightened my hair AGAIN after trying to look stunning. I thought I had tamed my hair a little bit until someone at work asked me, "Uhhh, did you crimp your hair?" That's when I got the clue that my hair was a frizz ball and I pulled it back into a pony tail.Day 1 before my birthday (Today): I didn't do a darn thing to my hair. I had a snow day so relaxed in my Northwest sweat pants (GO Bearcats!) and one of my Dad's old t-shirts (Not certain he knows I have it, but once he finds out he will be calling me or texting me to bring it back to him).
Tomorrow's my birthday: You may be thinking to yourself...well, she tried to curl her hair, she tried to make her hair wavy, so what's she going to do for her hair on her actual birthday? NOT A DANG THING! If you see me, plan on seeing my usual pony tail but I'll have a smile on my face knowing I'm proud to be me, don't know how to do my hair, need a new hair do, and most importantly comfortable in my skin-- frizzy, wavy, straight hair or even in a pony tail.
Here's to being 29! On a side note, if you wanna do my hair I'm open to it :)
