[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There is nothing wrong with mourning the loss of your youth but referring to your former hair as beautiful simply it was blond and shiny (and not wiry) makes you sound racist OP.[/quote]

You win the dumb comment of the day award. [/quote]

DP. Didn't sound dumb to me -- I actually had the same thought. [/quote]

Same, as a black woman with dark, wiry hair, it is just another day, another comment to remind myself that most white people think that the way my hair naturally grows out of my head is something awful to be dealt with and gotten rid of. [/quote]

What if as you aged you started growing blonde shiny hairs?  Would you be a bad person for wanting your old hair back?[/quote]

Thank you, pp. I was first pp in thread who is having the same issue and it’s driving me crazy. Though it’s never been beautiful. I’ve had crappy blonde hair my entire life and now it looks worse. I see many dark-haired women who can grow long, gorgeous hair (even at this age) and am insanely jealous. I wish I’d been born with thick, dark hair, but that wasn’t in the cards (my sister is a brunette). Reading the follow up made me feel like I can’t even complain about ugly hair without it being a micro aggression. I know most women have issues with their hair at some point, which is what several stylists have told me over the years when I’ve openly stated I’d rather have someone else’s hair. I assumed there was a universality to the issue, allowing women to bond. We all go through perimenopause if we live long enough. [/quote]
