I'm Too Sexy For My Hair
I have maintained a short hair cut most of my life. Simply
because as a working mother it was easy to just get up,
moisturize, brush and go. As of late and now that I am in my
early fifties I have decided that I want longer hair. Now I am
well aware that longer hair will make me look older, but I don't
care. I want longer hair. My stylist has been cringing because I
will not let her cut it. Let's face it the cut and style of your
hair can transform your look and personality from oh! my gosh! I

mishandle your hair it could lead to your hair becoming the
worst feature of your appearance. I know because I've been there
and done that plenty of times. About eight years ago I decided I
wanted to be bold and different for the summer. I wanted my hair
to look dark while having a slight purplish tint that should
only be noticeable if the light hit my hair a certain way. Well
low and behold my hair turned out light, bright lavender. Just a
note, never, ever dye your hair on a Sunday night when you have
to go to work on Monday morning and you ain't got time to
correct the mistake. Another lesson learned was never compromise
on quality. Now I use a natural hair dye, not Henna which is a
little too drying for me. But having said that, I recommend
Mayonnaise as a great conditioner for dry hair. Depending on the
length of your hair, it is recommended to apply approximately a
