Frizzy Hair Funnies

A couple of us – my office mates and I – have the frizzy hair funnies.

My hair, which has suddenly decided to go elsewhere now that I am of a certain age (and I’m not saying what age), is getting longer. I decided to let it grow longer when it decided to get thinner. I thought thinner and disappearing hair only happened to guys. Oh no. Ladies too it turns out.

OK. Then you are gonna’ grow I told hair. No, I am not planning a strange looking comb over like certain presidential candidates. I decided to let hair grow out because I didn’t want to get it cut every six weeks, because I’m tired of messing with a fancy hairdo, and because longer hair is now the IN hairdo for we senior women.

Consequently, my longer hair got fuzzy ends, and now I’m fighting frizzy. Hey. Frizzy is not an option. But my buddy Delanna has been fighting her frizzies all her life. Delanna has naturally curly hair, and a little humidity does amazing things to Delanna’s hair. Delanna’s hair may be the original frizzy hairstyle. 

On her recent vacation to humid Florida (from humid Oklahoma-go figure) Delanna complained loudly. Yes, Delanna’s head looked like an unsheared sheep. My ends just frizz up. So, in self-defense, I went looking for support on the internet. I found a few thoughts and philosophies that may help my friend’s and my own frizzies.

Read on:

-May we have a moment of silence for all those good hair days when no one saw us.

-Jeep hair. Don’t care.

-When your hair won’t listen to you, and it’s a mess and you’re like? So you tell your hair, ‘But I grew you myself. I gave you life. And this is how you treat me?’

-Having curly hair is like playing a guessing game where you don’t know what it’s going to do until it does it and the only way to fix it is to take another shower.

-Keep Calm. Moisturize. And detangle.

-Due to some circumstances, overnight conditioning can sometimes be too much. Causing limp, lifeless hair. (Oops. Been there, done that, and it’s true.)

-Only try new hairstyles on the weekend. That way if they go wrong, no one will notice.

-The average person sheds 60 to 100 strands of hair per day. (EEK!)

-Curly hair problems #588: When the only person who can cut your hair well moves way, you consider moving too.

-Curly Hair problem #792: How to sleep and lay down in weird positions so you won’t ruin your hair.

-Curly hair problem #398: Don’t worry about your curly hair being in place because it really doesn’t have a place.

-Thank you humidity. I always wanted to be The Lion King.

-You can’t control everything. Your curly hair was put on top of your head to remind you of that.

-Question: “Do you have naturally curly hair?” Answer: “Do you really think I do this on purpose?”

-Curly Hair Problem 921: Your hair grows out (width) before it grows down (length).

-I’d walk through fire for my best friend. Well, maybe not fire. That would be dangerous. Maybe I’d walk through a super humid room. Well, maybe not too humid because, you know, my HAIR! (Hope Delanna reads this.)

-They are not grey hairs. They are my wisdom highlights. (Yep!)

-My hair style today is called “I tried.”

-When your mom is mad at your dad, don’t let her brush your hair. (OW!)

-I miss being a kid. My only responsibilities were running around and laughing a lot. And someone else was in charge of my hair. (I remember those days. And I really can’t say that my mom did all that well.)

Well, I feel better. I’m gonna’ pin my hair up in a clip or stuff it in a ball cap and just let it frizz. Take that humidity!
