lothie started on the idea of posting a picture a day of herself. I'm not going to do that, but like her I really don't like seeing pictures of myself. My hair's still growing, though, and I know how much you all care about that, so I thought a picture or two might be in order. This is "au natural", by the way, without all the usual rigmarole I go through to straighten it, but it has been slept in (which calms it down a lot - right after a shower I am a puffball. I envy all of you who can take a shower and immediately leave the house!).



I don't like all the stupid curly and kinky bits (kinky not as in tightly curled African hair, but as in "the lock of hair has a big kink in it like a ski jump"), but when it's full like this and all going in different directions I can at least handle it. After a few days when it starts getting more oil in it, though, it clumps together into the "Mary Tyler Moore" look which enotsola reads instead as "Selphie" and thinks is "cute", but which I really hate. It's still going to have to about double in length before it's as long as it was when I cut it, though. Grr. (I wish I could grow it out as long as I had when I was 16, but that's nearly triple and besides not having the patience, it hasn't seemed to want to grow that long since then, despite occasional attempts.)
