My natural wave and the Florida humidity would never allow for straight locks. Like you, I’ve come to embrace my wave. I often just comb it through once out of the shower and enjoy letting it curl naturally. Now if I just felt as comfortable with the gray.

I see that you created it on your iPad. Would you please share the application that you used?

I totally related to this, but in terms of wanting to be tan instead of “white meat chicken” as I was called all through my youth.

I don’t know why we feel so defined by our hair but, at this point in my life, I’m happy to stick it in a ponytail and forget about it.

The 1960′s were especially trying. For years I have been hearing, “One of these days you will appreciate what a gift naturally curly hair is!” This said mostly by my mother, of course. Now at 61 I am mostly at peace with my locks. Summers in the East are the only problematic time of year…when steamy, sultry weather kicks up the curls and frizz to a level of unmanageabilty that has led me to, finally, give up and go with it. It has taken me many years to realize that life is just too darn short to be spent lamenting my hair’s natural tendencies. I have other, more important things to focus on these days.
