My hair is ridiculously curly. I bet I fooled you. You had no idea right? I think in the history of this blog, you have only seen curly haired pics of me as a child. And in those pics it really looks more like an Afro than anything else.
My hair typically takes about 30 minutes to blow dry. Not so bad considering that I have the most hair of any human being I have ever met. I love how you totally don't believe me. Every stylist I have ever been to has given me shit about this. From the $10 ones I went to when I was young and broke to the super overpriced ones I go to now. My latest stylist, started washing my hair and said the following "My god, I didn't think it was possible for anyone to have more hair than your sister, but God Damn!" Verbatim.
As such, I choose to blow dry my hair rather than curl it. Why, well when I let my hair curl naturally I look crazy. So I end up putting copious amounts of product in it and having to fuss with it to downplay the frizz every hour on the hour. Blow drying is a 3o minute ordeal (including flat ironing) at the end of which I don't have to touch my hair again until I wash it. Perfect.
Well every since I cut my bangs over a month and a half ago I have had straight hair. Curly bangs are not a pretty sight. Finally after blowing it dry for so long, I had had it. So on Sunday, I washed my hair and curled it. Big Mistake. It looked like shit. Really there are no other words for it. Complete and total shit. So I came to work yesterday with my hair in a tight bun, with my beautifully straight bangs (the only piece of hair I could convince my self to blow dry). Last night I decided to give the curling another go. I washed it, and let it do its worst.
Vickie: "Dude, whats with your hair?"
Jossie: "I decided to let it curl, why does it look bad?"
Vickie: "You look like Michael Jackson, when he was still black, without the gerry curl."
Jossie: "It can't look that bad."
Vickie: "Seriously, it kind of looks like a strange mullet, you have really short curly bangs and this weird curly hair. Not cute"
Jossie: "Bitch."
So today, my hair is yet again in a bun, with straight bangs. I will be washing it again today but this time there will be blow drying. And before you ask, no there is no way in hell that you will be seeing pics of my nappy ass curly hair. I'm sure you'll survive without them.

I have always been jealous of curly hair. I want it. Mine is so ... boring.
BTW, my hair is so damn thick that pony tail holders break when they are in and fly across the room. Fabulous!
Damn you for denying us our picture rights.
I hate blow drying my hair with a passion. I keep looking at pictures of people with long hair and thinking I should grow mine out, but then I remember how long it takes to dry and change my mind.
A friend of mine swears by the expensive ass straightening. Says it's worth every penny, no wave, no frizz, nothing.
I've been straightening my hair for years now. L'Oreal has this fantastic product called Extenso which makes your hair look amazing... not dull and boring straight...lively and bouncy straight.
Now all I have to do after washing is blast dry and it looks fabulous. This is the most managable my hair has ever been.. I highly recommend the treatment!
Damn that almost sounds like the script for an advt about the product :P
Ugh...too...much...info...about...hairstyling...can't...process. My sorry butt doesn't know a thing about products and styling, so I'll just commiserate with you and giggle that you have "nappy ass" hair.
I wish I had curly hair. My is bone straight even when I curl it, 15 minutes later FLAT. :(
DeLiz - You know thats what everyone says and then you get curly hair and want to shoot your self in the face. (wow I just sounded exactly like the ex-hubby...scary!)
Janet - Thats right, I giveth and I can taketh away too!
Belle - My best friend Teresa just did it, and I am using her as a guinea pig if in 3 months her hair hasn't fallen out, I will consider it. Slightly evil, but its expensive!
Endless Randomness - Ohhh I will look into it, any thing helps.
Sassy B - Okay, now I want a picture of your hair. Because if it looks fab and you don't style it I am going to personally go and kick your ass!
Fallgirly - Mine is the opposite, when I straighten it 15 minutes later poofy! Either way it sucks.
You poor dear! I used to be told I had "the most hair ever!" but I think I must have grown into my mane b/c it doesn't overwhelm me or my stylist anymore. I bet you looked seriously adorable as a curly q head. But I respect your decision to bun it.
As a dude I love curly hair on girls.
I guess this means I like Michael Jackson.
Damn.
I'm in the library and when I was reading yours and vicky's dialog I was trying not to laugh and it didn't workout so great. Laughing through your nose, it turns out, can be very loud in this place. So the tuff gong look would be like a no-hassel thing for you on next Halloween X'D
I posted a pic for you...and TMC at Return to Rural has joined in the fun!
Mermanda - Its a pain but I wouldn't want the alternative.
Rs27 - You are the second guy in the history of my life to say they prefer curly hair on girls. Freak.
Pilgrim - Sorry love. lol
Sassy B - So now we will jointly go kick your blonde ass!
Ah ha ha ha ha!!!! My hair is the same way! I totally flat iron my hair, and there is no way in hell I let people see the curly hair that sits on my head!! Loves it.
