Wild summer hair

It’s July. It’s humid. And I’ve got a bad case of wild summer hair goin’ on. Do you know what I’m mean? Can you feel my pain? Any other heads of wild curls out there?

Here’s the deal, I’ve got naturally curly hair. Sometimes it’s kinda wavy, but on the really humid days, like today, it’s all over the freaking place and it drives me insane. How can I be expected to look professional with this kinda hair???

Okay, maybe professional is asking too much in a pink polo shirt and khaki capris. How about sporty casual? Even sporty casual girls have their hair under control.

And the hair salons just love me! The ladies can’t wait to get their hands on my hair. They’ve always got plans for my curls …

Let’s make them bigger!

Let’s tease them until New Jersey calls and claims you as a resident!

Let’s put tons of hairspray on them so that they don’t move a millimeter in the wind!

And that’s why I have a gay hairdresser. He can handle the disappointment when I don’t let him mousse, gel, hair spray, blow dry and/or tease my hair after a cut. He lets my curls air dry so that I don’t have to walk out of the salon looking like Roseanne Roseanna-danna.

Don’t get me wrong, I am thankful.

Thankful that I didn’t get my brother’s hair. His hair reminds me of Kramer from Seinfeld. It’s way out of control, no matter what the humidity is.
