Dammit All Anyway.....

Of Wigs And Women

The first thing I want to talkabout is hair. I'm not sure if it is as big of a thing for white women as it is for black ones...but to us (me included) hair is a major thing. It can be a stumbling block or your path to beauty and fame. Hair. Long and straight. Short and natural (a la nappy). In between and confused.
Personally.. I have always loved my hair. In it's nappy (a la natural) state. Me and my hair get along pretty darn well. I don't ask of it more than it can give, and it doesn't act crazy right before I have to go out. A good deal. But then...my soror gave me a wig. Nota big wig, but a cute little wig that gives me shoulder length super straight hair, and brings out my looks to POW instead of the usual wow. And I feel odd.

Almost guilty even, because I like this hair so much. It has even gotten me to thinking about straightening MY hair...although I know full well that it wouldfall out and be hideous and ugly and I would have to cut it all off and start over again. But..the lure of the full think super shiny hair still pulls me in.

SO what shall I do? The attraction of the wig is that in a main part I can take it off any time I want to...(like when sleeping) and then put it back on again. Nice yes? perfect hair without any bother. I don't know...maybe it is just a indication of my desire for change.
