for about two years now, i have been on the quest for hair that is luscious and wavy. i embarked on this quest with my friend cy. i remember we were both crazy for the olsen twins "just-got-out-of-bed-no-fuss-sexy-wavy" hair. cybill has since then acheived that look, discovering in the process that she may have had that kind of hair naturally growing from her pretty little head all this time.
i am, on the other hand, a different story. once upon a time, my hair was wavy but being the unsatisfied human that i am,i of course had it straightened. now, my hair goes between straight and wavy depending on the weather,water and whatnot, not yet making up its mind on what it really wants to be. i still dream of those elusive wavy locks though and am continually trying out techniques and products to reach the holy grail of wavy hair.
i am convinced that wavy hair is in my genes though. my mom has it, if only she'd take the time to fluff it. my sister jamie has the most amazing luscious wavy hair that i continually covet (we used to tease her too, about how ugly her hair was, back when straight was in. this is such karma for us :(). if they have it, then i must have it too, right?
a month ago,a visitor tormented me with her perfectly mussed-up hair that wanted to make me scream in envy.
with all these objects of envy so within my reach, the hair nightmare reached its peak 2 weeks ago.i was suddenly seized with that got-to-have-it-now feeling. i called my sister up, milking every last tip and trick to get those waves.
so far, i've tried skipping shampoo days, showering at night, showering without shampooing, saying goodbye to my beloved conditioners, purchasing a gentler shampoo, and a lot more craziness that is a bit embarrassing to mention.
as of today, i have 5 kinds of shampoo sitting in my bathroom: baby shampoo, clarifying shampoo, coconut shampoo, repair shampoo and good old pantene.i've resorted to cy's advice of simply not combing my hair anymore. my fingers itch to run themselves through it, but my desire for those waves is keeping them steadfast and still(for now).
let's all hope this turns out well, and after all of this i can be vain bratty princess with sexy, no-effort, lucious hair to boot!
