The evil of curly hair
We went to see a digitally enhanced version of the black and white film Night of the Hunter at the BFI. Robert Mitchum plays a serial killer who pretends to be a priest. In the beginning if the film he is driving a car along the road and offering a prayer to god,"There are things that you hate Lord, perfume smelling things, lacy things, things with curly hair". As a naturally curly haired person this made me laugh out loud. What is it with all the jealousy of the curly haired that we get all this? Like the girl with the curl in the middle of her forehead... Don't straight-haired people know how difficult curly hair can be to manage?

I have suffered life with curly hair, too. Has curly hair ever really "trendend," I wonder. It's all about straight styles, isn't it? Even when the style looks curly, it's a controlled curl--the kind you can only achieve with a crew of hairstylists following you around (like on a movie set or photo shoot). Curly hair means having no control over your hair. None. Just a wild, frizzy, unmanagable mane. Shewee, glad i got that off my mind today.
LOL - i have been told my hair suits my personality (i was ince instructed to get it straightened but then told not to do that again!), so im not sure what that says about me - untameable, wild, frizzy...
