Reflecting on the Past Year and Happy New Year!
This is the time of year when people reflect upon the past year and prepare for the new. My hair had an amazing 2014 as you can see by the photos above. It went through a lot of changes, long, short, brown, blond, red, brown, trying to figure out who it was and what the people around it wanted. Always trying to please every one else. My hair tries to be everything to everyone and is quite unsure of itself, much like the head it sits upon.
This hair and the body it occupies will be 40 in 2015, it will celebrate a 13 year wedding anniversary and a child of 11's birthday, and I am okay with the fact that it will begin to change getting a little grayer, a little thinner. This hair is a large part of my identity, easily changed to satisfy my mood or my style. I have never had either for very long, a pattern that has been repeated since I was 12 and I first got my hands on some Sun--In. When all else fails, I always have great hair.
I might leave it alone in 2015, just kind of let it grow and take shape, become it's own, find it's identity, not trying too hard to be liked, or needed or wanted. I'll let you know how that works out.
