Bad Hair

Michele was unfortunate enough to get one of those awful bad haircuts and is having a really Bad Hair Day.

I feel for Michele, because not only have I had many a Bad Hair Day, but I would even go so far as to say that I have had a Bad Hair Life. It has not improved with age.

Now, I have seen pictures of Michele on her blog, and she has thick, luxurious dark hair. I am willing to bet that a good hair day for me would be a bad hair day for her.

I was born with baby fine hair. It is very straight, very fine and I don't have a lot of it. No bald spots, thank God, but it just doesn't do much.

People used to tell me that once I went gray, my hair would be thicker.

I fart in their general direction.

My hair has been nearly completely gray since I was about 32, and it has never thickened. I have it professionally colored these days, and it looks good for approximately 8 hours after Lyndsay does her magic and makes it kinda poufy and pretty. But it is still lousy hair.

It only looks good when covered by a big floppy hat. But that's not terribly professional looking when I'm traveling, so I just have learned to try to live with my bad hair. But I still hate it.

So I have complete empathy with anyone having a bad hair day. I know how you feel.
