Oh! The hair straighteners!

I work with girls in their 20's and straight hair seems all the rage. I think straight hair looks really gorgeous when it's thick, full hair and CLEAN (don't get me started on the people who don't wash the dandruff out of their hair)! One girl I work with has really thin hair, and the style does her no justice at all. Another girl I work with has this style -- I'm not even sure what to call it -- with a think fringe and it just looks like she's wearig a big black mop on her head. But all the other girls say, "I love your hair!" So of course I do too. Oh well, it's just a different culture!

As for me, I have short, thick curly hair which I wear with a light fringe. Might not be stylish, but it looks good to me and it only takes 5 minutes for me to do my hair in the morning!

I just wish I could find a hairstylist I like over here. I've tried a few places, but nothing really that I liked all that much. Both times I have been home as soon as I knew when one of the first calls was to my old hairdresser to book an appointment for while I was over. Sad, I know. I am planning on getting my hair trimmed tomorrow, if I see a place that looks inviting I will give them a shot but it will probably end up being Supercuts just to get my hair out of my face. God, and I used to be such a hottie.

When I first moved here, corn-rows were really popular on the girls. Not as much anymore. Now it's all razored ends and that tiger-colored dye job, and of course the straightened hair. I would be thrilled if someone gave me a crimping iron for Xmas - always wanted one of those, thought crimped hair looked great when I was a teenager! Never had my own iron though.

Straighteners and fake tan, and faux cowboy boots with ponchos. That's all the rage with the younger set over here.

I just bought one too! I'm still getting used to using it, but it seems to work really well. :)
