[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]
As someone with lifelong dark wavy/curly/frizzy/partially wiry hair.  I am fully aware that many people "think that the way my hair naturally grows out of my head is something awful to be dealt with and gotten rid of".  I don't care one lick.  I have always liked my brown skin and crazy hair -- even as a young child growing up in the early 80's when Farrah Fawcett blonde hair was idealized.  Not once have I envied the silky haired or blonde.  Mom and the women in my family have always been 100% confident in their style of beauty, even when it fell outside of white societal norms.  I am so grateful to them for instilling this in me.

To those with perimenopausal changes to hair -- I recommend that you try to stop fighting what your hair is trying to do.  What used to work for you, will no longer work.  You may need to transition to a darker color, or try a curly girl styling method, or try a different hair cut. [/quote]
