High-Maintenance Hair
-- September 3rd, 2010, 11:25 amI have some of the worst hair in the world. With that, in order for me to bear some resemblance to a human being, my hair needs tons of care! Seriously. It’s a daily ritual of shampooing and conditioning, followed by drying via blow-dryer, and finally topped off with a heat-induced straightening. This totals to about an hour each day. So I’m wondering about my options.
I could always shave my head, like some people, but that takes courage and feminine features, one of which I lack. I think it would be a dip in my self-esteem if people started referring to me as “Yo, Bro!” or “Sir.” That is, unless I constantly wear make-up as well.

My three options include air-drying, blow-drying, or just to keep on straightening. I could always cut my hair shorter, but that would mean more maintenance. Or I could just let it grow, and once it’s long enough, I don’t have to worry about anything. Then I’d just be able to throw it up in a ponytail all the time.
With school starting, I think my best option is to just blow-dry it, and toss is up in a ponytail… or something like that. It’ll save me some time, and drying my hair right after I shower will help keep me from getting sick, which I currently am. It sucks being a girl sometimes. I guess I’ll have to go blow-dryer shopping later today.
