Dedicated to Glockster ;)

Jane had short hair through most of college. Not dumb short hair; fun and spunky and flattering short hair that she kept really blonde. Somehow it gave her the confidence to assert herself enough to get through it all. It was a statement: THIS IS ME!!! and she loved it.

Over the past few years, Jane has grown out her hair. When it's layered, it has great natural curl. It also bleaches nicely on it's own in the sun. Jane's allergic to most hair products- they burn holes in her skin- so she makes her own hair gel. All it takes to do her hair is scrunching it with gel and blowing it dry. In the summer, it can even air dry. It's a bit big and wild and untamed.

Jane recently trimmed her hair to get rid of the dry ends. It is now one length and doesn't curl quite the same. It's back to it's natural dark honey blonde color and falls nice and softly. It is very healthy. But it's a bit boring. So she cut bangs. Better, but yesterday Jane did her hair- blew it dry straight using several eye burning hair products and she looks good, but something's missing. It's smooth, but threatening to frizz. If you look closely you can see it aching to curl and be big and untamed.

It's like her personality. Jane tries to keep it conservative but the products burn her eyes and skin and the curl is aching to get out...

I think it's time for a haircut.

Hi sis, I'm failing to see how your hair relates to me, unless it's just that hair and I have so much in common.
Anyway, I love you and you have looked beautiful lately. Not that you don't always but lately you seem diffrent, in a possitive way I mean.
I miss my hair!!!!!!!!!!!! HA HA HA HA!!

I just know how much you enjoy your wife's and mine and anyone else's conversations about hair. Or was it the boy who wonders how girls can talk so much about hair???
