Curly hair.
Curly hair on a baby is adorable.
Curly hair on a teenager from the perspective of the teenager, not so adorable.
Curly hair on a 59 year old not so bad.
But, it takes product. Just the right product. And just the right scrunching technique.
And just the right amount of humidity in the air.
And the frizz needs to be controlled.
If you are a woman with curly hair, you understand.
You remember ironing it.
You remember blowing it out.
You remember giant rollers.
Some of you even remember rolling it on beer cans.
You remember catching it up in a tiny little ponytail with a very long scarf.
You remember dippity-do.
You remember lots of dippity-do.
You remember thinking I wish my hair would swing.
And at some point your grown son says, Mom, I like your hair curly.
I knew I liked my curly hair.
