Yeah, there are plenty of natural hair specialists out here. I ditched my old stylist. I'm sure she could handle natural hair, but she was super far away, and there are plenty of places closer to me.

Tonight I might try a roller set, but there are obstacles. I exercise in the morning, so how is that going to work? Wake up, style hair, run around for an hour?

I really need to suck it up and cut it completely off. Like this:


That would take real guts, though . . .

So when I think of any sort of cosmetic, erm, improvements, I think about the people who get a poor result and have to live with it the rest of their lives.

Yeah, that would concern me as well.

Re your daughter, wow! I think sometimes just the younger you are, the more fearless you are. I got contacts at age 29 because I didn't want to have glasses on at my wedding, and I thought I would like contacts and would just switch over. But I *hated* them and could never get used to them. Also, at the time my prescription wouldn't allow me to get disposables, and I thought the care of the contacts was the biggest PITA imaginable. As I said, I gave up on them after 6 months. But my wedding photos were nice.

If you were interested, you might give them another try.

I have astigmatism so I have to have a special weighted contact lenses. Also, there are many brands that I cannot wear. So nowadays they give you trial pairs of several different brands in your prescription and you take them home and decide if any of them work. One interesting thing is that I cannot wear daily contact lenses. My eyes immediately get dry and I am miserable. I half I have to wear monthly lenses. The main value for me is sports.
