I completely relate to it :). I had long straight brown hair til I went off to college and started experimenting with cuts and colors...I loved my hot pink the best. The crazier the color the more "me" I felt. It got to the point where my friends wouldn't even noticed I had dyed it at first because it just seemed normal for me. I think my favorite was when my guy roommates and I were sitting around our living room after I just freshly gone back to pink after being brown for awhile and one said, "I feel a lot better with your hair like that, you look more like Michelle." It made my day :) I love this post! I completely relate to it :) .

If you want to, of course, I can understand how in that situation straightening it would probably be just as easy! :) .-= Michelle´s last blog ..<a href="http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/DeclineDesigns/~3/AS1S5bsZhwo/" rel="nofollow">Guest Post at the Demoiselles!</a> =-.

I truly wish I could have the balls (so to speak) to really embrace my natural curl. The thing is, it's awkward and not ALL curly. Parts are curly, parts are wavy, parts are nearly straight. It's a little ridic, and I haven't found a way to make it look decent and not all fuzzy and gross. I mean, if I showed up at work without straightening my hair, someone would be all, "HOLY CRAP. WHAT HAPPENED." Not okay. Oh, and I used to look at people with crazy/funky hair and immediately judge them a bit. Now? I look at them and sort of want to nudge them as I walk by and say, "You are awesome. Go you!" Cheesy, but true. I love when people don't let the pressure of cultural expectations get to them. .-= wishcake´s last blog ..<a href="http://www.yourwishcake.com/2009/08/on-video-blog-aka-my-wicked-attempt-at.html" rel="nofollow">on a video blog (AKA: my wicked attempt at using iMovie)...</a> =-.

I definitely agree with this statement. As a curly girl, I learned that once I stopped fighting against my hair, we were both living in harmony. Great post and I love your hair. .-= Sheena´s last blog ..<a href="http://www.clandestinechic.com/2009/08/18/breathtaking-alaia-fw-09/" rel="nofollow">Breathtaking: Alaïa F/W 09</a> =-. “It’s a lot easier to work with natural curl instead of against it, not to mention much better for your hair.”
