hair

I am glad I have it, but I do not like dealing with it.

It's expensive and time consuming.

Color every 4-5 weeks (when it should be 3).

Occasional highlights to make it more interesting.

Cuts every other month so it doesn't hang limply.

Products to make it shine and give it body.

And then there's the self-drying. That I hate.

I usually lose interest half way through and it shows.  

The left side of my head is easier for me to style than the right, so if I do a good job, it's only on half my head.  MY sister Valerie can't understand (nor can I, really) why I can't do a decent job blow drying my own hair.

I get a keratin treatment once a year, and love it.  But for the first four weeks or so, my hair is too flat.  And, my last one was in May, so my hair is becoming dryer, frizzier and less manageable.

Over Thanksgiving, Jean tells me about a new combination hair dryer and brush that she loves. It's called the Conair Pro Spin Air Rotating Styler.

I buy it.

It arrives a few days ago.  I always feel a little overwhelmed when I get a new product.  I don't like reading instructions and unpacking anything that is plastic-sealed.  I finally get around to it today.

I even watch a 3-minute youtube video.  

Okay, I'm ready. 

The results?  Amazing.  

In under 8 minutes, my wet hair is dry, styled and shiny. I am not sure if it would be great on short hair, but for longish hair, it's fantastic.

Okay.  Done.  No more product endorsements for awhile.  I'm beginning to sound like an infomercial.  

But I love this new thing, and on this rainy wet day, it's all I have to write about.  Unless you want to hear about my squirting laundry detergent into my toilet bowl thinking it was toilet bowl cleaner.
