My New 'Do

So my hair has been something of a frustration of late.  I don't know if it's the dry Antelope Valley wind or what, but it seems to be losing it's curl.  For someone who doesn't own a curling iron and has no idea what it means to 'do her hair' if it includes more than throwing product in it, this has been somewhat of a traumatic thought. 

Back in May, when I had almost given in and just started straightening it, I visited Meesa and found out about this magical place called 'Ouidad'.  It's a salon dedicated to those of us with curly hair.  So.. I got a haircut and some better products and almost felt like I had my hair back.. almost.  It definitely was not as curly as it once was, but at least it was behaving.  At least for a month or two.

Then it started getting a little too long and started going back to almost straight.  For about the last month it's been absolutely horrible and I felt like shaving it more than once.

Then I found out that there's a brand new Ouidad salon in Santa Monica (Yeah!!).  So.. yesterday I made the trek down there and had a very nice lady named Toni cut it.  I told her to cut it all off this time knowing that the shorter it was the better chance it had to curl.  It took her an hour and a half.. and it's shorter than it's been in probably 4 years.. but.. woila.. curly hair. 

I just hope it stays happy and curly a little longer this time..
