I just have to say that this discussion on hair has been very educational.
...I just wanted to share a little story that's related to this topic...
When I was in second grade one of my best friends Melissa had, in my opinion, the coolest hair ever. She would come to school with it in lots of twists sticking out all over fastened with a rainbow mix of barrettes or braided with colorful shiny beads at the ends.
I thought she was absolutely B E A U T I F U L!!!
I wanted to have hair like hers so badly. I remember asking my mom to "do my hair like Melissa's pleasepleaseplease!" We tried but my stick straight fine hair just wasn't up to it. And then when we tried to get all the barrettes out, my long hair got really tangled, ouch ouch ouch.
Somewhere I still have a picture of Melissa, Jen (another friend), and me with barrettes all over our hair. Melissa looks fabulous of course; Jen and I just look like total goofballs.
So, yes, while I may be able to flip my hair around like in the Pantene commercials, just think that I spent second grade just wanting "fun pretty hair" like Melissa.
Lots of wishes for good hair days for everyone,
