I look back at the 80s photos of me, and the permed hair looks so horrible. But you know how trends cycle. I am tired of taking the time ever day to flat-iron my now frizzy hair (thanks to the gray) which is highlighted blonde. With 80s hair, I just washed it and let it dry naturally. So easy, especially at the beach.
I keep asking my hairdresser when curly hair is going to be stylish again. He smiles.
Obviously you can relate to this, DD.

I can.
I'm not sayin' I want those big rooster bangs from the 80's (weren't those just the worst?), but I wouldn't mind some big smooth curls. I'll let y'all know what happens with the hot rollers.
Get that hairdresser to give you an answer!
Have Y'all considered getting 'wiggy' with it?
I have no energy for rollers-n-sech as that. As a matter of fact, I'm beyond ready for my hair to turn totally cotton-top! The old-old generations of my family have BEAUTIFUL clouds of white hair.
I wish my hair would just get with it, 'pass go & collect $200'!

No wig for me. No white either--not til I move down the hall at the NH.
Well, if I had the beautiful, perfectly white (not gray-white, but really platinum) and straight hair that my Mom has, I wouldn't color mine. But my gray hair is coming in frizzy and gray -- yuck. So blonde highlights, a glaze, and flat-irons for me!
Unfortunately Mom is refusing to have her hair done. So the doc upped her Namenda patch dosage today so she hopefully will get her vanity back.

I'm pretty sure mine's salt & pepper under the blonde---who knows?
I think of your mom often, BR.

Mom was feeling woozy and dizzy last weekend, so I I was afraid she was having a recurrence of her heart problems. I decided to take her to her doctor for an EKG. It was perfectly normal.
Her doctor said that he is amazed how much better she is doing. After being at death's door two years ago from a-fib, now she is just sassy.
The Namenda and Exelon have helped, but my theory is that the blood thinner that she was put on after the a-fib prevented more clots from forming and landing in her brain, thus providing more blood flow in her brain and resulting in improved cognitive skills. She's very conversational (when she couldn't even talk in late 2009) and watches TV (which she hasn't been able to do since 2006). TMI, but I am a believer in Namenda patches, Exelon, and Aggrenox.
Anyhow, she has great hair.

My mom had beautiful silver hair. I think mine might be approaching that color, but who can tell under all the color. Maybe if I make 70 I'll let it be gray
