It all started when my very first lock of hair finally grew on top of my head when I turned one year old - one lock of curl. I then grew enough hair to have a perfect head of - what I like to call - "Annie hair." You know - tight curls all in one little round, helmet-like shape on top of my head (that's my least favorite grade school picture - 1st grade). From there on out I had the most tight, spiraly, naturally curly hair that you can imagine. My girlfriends lived to "boing" my perfect curls, it took over 2 hours to "straighten" them (although it was never straight). And I - of course - HATED my curls.
Then I had a baby (another story for another time. just don't worry about it!) and I lost all of my curls. My hair straightens when I blow dry it out - what? A flat iron actually works - huh?! and I can't for the life of me get any curl to happen other than a little one that looks like a minor perm would do or something. and I HATE it. I hate wearing my hair "curly" and I hate how I look with it straight. Not to mention that it's at an ackward not-quite-shoulder length that looks weird (to me!) down and up! OYE!
DB loves when I wear it curly. But it just annoys me. But, it is so much less work.
ANYway - I can't stop thinking about how in the world I will wear it on the big day. Curly? Straight? Up? Down? Half and half? I would like to show some of my natural curl - but I don't trust it to hold up and look normal all day long. But wearing it straight isn't really "me."
Anyone else have ridiculous hair issues like me?!
I love the pretty up-dos like any girly-girl does...
