New 'do

Have you ever felt like this when you looked at your hair in the mirror?

Ever had a day (or about 3,627 days) of feeling like your hair doesn't quite fit the generally accepted style of the times anymore...

since the big hair of the 1980's is "a long, gone-gone, a long gone-gone, been gone-gone, so long" (name the band that sang that song!) 

Are you wishing someone would take pity on you...

(All Points Bulletion for Nick Arrojo from What Not To Wear!!)

Do you need to be convinced that the hair tools and products available these days are much improved...

since the days back in the 80's

when you (of course, not me!) used crimping irons,

banana clips,

and aerosol mega-hold Vidal Sassoon or Jhirmack hairspray for your (cuz I would never!) side pony-tail?

Does it make you feel sad, defeated, ready to give up, and wondering what you could have possibly done to deserve the hair you were born with?

Do not worry, you are not alone...

See...this is me three days ago...

frustrated,

irritated to the point of hysteria,

seriously debating two things...

whether I need to grab the buzz-cutter,

or need to change careers and try out for the lead part in the musical "Cats" 

Magical Chi wizard, take these curls and frizz awayyyyyyyyyyyyy!

ZAP!!

Hello...

look at me now!

Smooth, sleek, straight and stylin'...

but, just to remind you,  I never did know ( no, not me...) anything about those 80's hairdos that you all seen to know so much about!

Just a quick word of advice to any of you who might be thinking about

buying a flat iron...

                                 

Watch out for burn blisters!!

They sting, they bubble up, they burst, they pus, and they scar...

Be prepared, beauty hurts, baby,

but dang it...I feeel gooood!  Ba-na-na-nah!

Go on, everyone, try a new 'do' for back to school this year!
