I have tried my whole life to achieve curls like that with no luck! You should LOVE it!

My hair was board straight all thru growing up, then halfway thru my teens I got a perm that basically never went away. rofl They said it was a hormonal change, some people hair just morphs. ;) Anyway, its not fun in the rain. I look like a monchichi with halo of fuzz.

Tacoma Wa,
Omg, thank you SO much. It used to be much much blonder, and almost down to my waist, but it got all weird and scraggly when I got sick, so I hacked off like 11 inches. I'm super self conscious about it now, so you totally made my day with that comment. lol

I used to have hair down to my .... when I was in my 20's.. but after a few years of sitting on it and having my head snap back it got shorter and shorter.
Now it's a normal man length. But even after all these years my neck sometimes feels cold when i think about it.

Isn't that so odd? I did a drastic change like that when I was about... maybe 11ish? My mom let my hair grow like crazy, only ever trimmed it, and i was getting migraines, so doc said to chop it off. This was in the mid 80s, and my mom was going thru this punk thing, so she took me to a mod stylist, and he chopped it off to a clipper length in back, with long fringe in the front. AND a tail. Good lord, you all remember tails? I looked nuts, i tell ya. Nuts. Anyway, I felt naked for years after that. Might be why I let it grow so long in my 20s.

Tip:
Dimethicone in the conditiloner, the stylers. Naturally curly (but very long, so wavy) hair here. It doesn't frizz when it rains now!

I still kinda miss it for weird reasons .. mostly being part native american (Apache nation) ,but for the last 16 years i feel like a part of me is gone, not in the physical hair part.. but like the soul part.
I know alot of native peoples will cut their hair after a loved ones death.. and being everyone in my imediate family has passed, I have tried to think of it that way.. but i still don't feel whole. Or maybe i'm just weird.. :D

Very cool tip! I've tried everything, even the no shampoo wash. I just hated that... made me feel like I was walking around with dirty hair. Its a little better now, since I got this filter system for the shower that takes out all the chlorine and additives, but I'll definitely hunt for that conditioner. You recommend a brand, tinybells?

Oh, I'm so sorry! I'm mostly an orphan family wise, too. I've got my father back, but I lost him thru most of my childhood and adulthood, so he's a new addition. Sucks feeling unanchored in the world. And how wild that your experience mirrors the tribal traditions. And no, I don't think its weird, at all. Times I've felt the most happy and sort of 'in tune' with myself, that's sort of the mental picture I carry of how I should look. When I don't, I feel pretty off kilter, too.

((looking around to see if its quiet)) mod, you here? here's the crazy kissy photo I promised you. And for anyone who didn't catch it last night... I had to take a photo to go with this dig art thing I got asked to do for a zine cover. I HATE cameras, and hate being the subject more, but I didn't have any choice in the matter. My buddy, who's the editor, swore she'd use this worse than dmv license photo she had if I didn't take a new one. lol So I set mine up to take a series of 10 shots at 2 second intervals. Somehow I ended up with this crazy kissy face, while I was switching positions. My first thought when I saw it was 'heh. Modrod would appreciate that.' rofl Anyway, this is NOT the one I ended up going with, of course. rofl
