I am not one of those people that gets embarrassed if someone catches me and my 'do right after waking up--the problem arises when I am spotted with freshly washed and dried hair. Yikes. It was weeks after we were married before I let Chris see the beast (my hair) untamed. And now that I feel like we know each other a little better, here she is:

What a mess. My hair is naturally curly, which is nice--don't get me wrong. Except DO get me wrong after one day. Day 2 is a complete frizz-fest, which means I have to wash it again, which I don't like to do. I am a 2-3 washes/week kinda girl. Is there a mom that isn't--I'd love to meet you wonder woman.
Honestly, what did people do before straighteners? Well, actually I was one of those people until I was a senior (maybe a junior) in high school, I think. I remember putting a lot of serum in my hair after drying it and trying to flatten it down. It then looked like greasy frizz--which is WAY worse than regular, plain frizz. And then sometimes my mom would use a really large curling iron, which got some of the kinks out--but looking back, it was definitely still a mess, even though I felt like it looked awesome. Eventually, my sister, Victoria, showed me how to put mousse in my hair and I discovered my hair was not naturally frizzy, but curly. That saved me, seriously. I still can't get my hair to look the same every day (as mentioned here), but I cling to my Chi and most days, I make it through just fine.

I doubt I am the only one with a hairy secret. Anyone else hiding behind a straightener or favorite product? Don't make me do this alone, people.

What do you think?

Kari,
It IS a robe! It was one of my companion's from my mission and she gave it to me---or I took it, can't remember. :) I am not sure where she got it, but the brand is "secret treasures" which I think Walmart use to sell back in the day. Good luck!
You are so pretty! Also, I hear ya about the unruly mane. I pretty much introduced my fiancé to it (untamed mane) early on in our relationship. Thought I'd "rip it off like a band-aid" and get the introduction over with, so to speak. My beau didn't believe me until he saw it for himself, but I have permanent 80s metal hair. What would we do without our mighty flatirons?!
YOU ARE GOOOOOOOOOOOORGEOUSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS
And seriously...you are SO glam in that robe!!!!!!!! I need one. If anything, it might add a bit more spice in my life when I look like a scary mommy :-)
I always wonder about those girls who are glam 24/7 and you KNOW that they are SO scary looking #1 with no make up on and #2 if they have way wacky hair. I realllllly feel bad for their new husbands when they see them for the first time...YIKEEEEEEEEEEEEEES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! BUT really, it makes me laugh inside!!!

OK odd question, but is that a robe you are wearing? If it is I want one and have been having a hard time finding one, where did you get it?
