Still here and happy!

The morning grass was kissed with the warmth of the sunshine.  Dew sparkled like tiny diamonds and reflected on Snow White's glass casket.  Everyone stood around her, mourning her absence and silently wishing for her return.  Then, one brave prince stepped forward and lightly kissed her rosy lips.....

Cough...sputter...gasp....

After what seems like an eternity of silence,

SHE'S BACK!

Ok, well, it may not be my story, but it sounded good anyway!

What has been amazing to me is that with every experience I've had over the past several weeks, most of it really relates to what we go through as wearers of hair.  I'll pull it all together for you over the next few weeks.  It's quite intriguing and really makes you take a hard look at how you choose to react to the process of choosing, ordering and wearing hair.

Before we start on that topic, I thought you may want to know what has kept me from my keyboard for so long!  So, the reader's digest version is:

I married "my guy", took a honeymoon, sold my house during our vacation, sold his house the second week, found a house the third week, moved out of my house and into his house on the fourth week, nursed my daughter back to good health after a head injury through the fifth week and are now preparing for our next move in 11 days...

YIKES!  It makes my head spin just thinking about it. 

But I have been "off the hair track" for tooooooo long!  So, let's get back down to the roots...well, so to speak! 

First, thanks to all of you for the private emails and calls!  I tried to answer as many as I could.  If you didn't get a personal response, please know that your notes and calls were all so appreciated and thoughtful!

You will all be happy to know that my hair has been great through all of this and I am excited to give you all of the reports during the next few blogs.

Sweet dreams on your satin pillowcases,

Babe

About Babe with a Mane

My natural hair has not been seen for over 20 years. It has hidden under wigs and weaves, under toppik, colored sprays, couvre and dermatch. My growing hair is a significant burden. It takes too much time to try to fix it up to be presentable, too much money to try to fix, too much energy to worry about and conceal. Every day, I used to wish for great hair. Every day I was ashamed of my thin hair. Every day, I woke up feeling confident, feminine and sexy inside. Then, I looked in the mirror at my natural hair and those positive thoughts were robbed from me. My natural hair forced me to feel unattractive, timid and insecure. I know who I am inside and I wanted to project that image to everyone else. To do that, my hair had to change. Women who are bald or have very thin hair, are not considered "socially acceptable" in the general public's eye. I wanted to be considered socially acceptable, my natural hair wouldn't let me. My dream hair allows me to lead a normal life. I wake up to my guy nuzzling my neck while my soft hair is brushed aside. I jump in the shower to wash my hair. I look in the mirror to see a confident and sexy woman, looking back at me. I don't waste hours trying to disguise myself to fit in. I blow dry and curl my hair and go to work with a spring in my step. I don't catch others staring at my thin hair while trying to have a conversation with me. The same confident, self assurance that I feel inside is now projected on the outside. There are no further internal battles between true persona and an incongruous outward appearance. I am finally, after a lifetime of dreaming, able to project an image that reflects the confident, sexy, intelligent, feminine woman I truly am.

Not born with hair, but I've got the intelligence to find it, the job to pay for it, the patience to "stick" it on just right, the will to make it work, the confidence to wear it boldly and the smile to wear under it!
