Self-Description: So happy to be a naturally curly, natural red head now! As a
child growing up in San Francisco, I so envied all my lovely African
American, Asian and Jewish girlfriends for their smooth, frekle-free
skin and dark hair. Straight or kinky, braided, ponied or loose -
that dark hair was so beautiful to me!
Took a long time to actually feel comfortable with my hair. I always
felt it was special, but didn't think it - or I - was particularly
beautiful. Once I was in the working world, I darkened it to make it
look more serious, sophisticated, enigmatic. Now I just let it be
what it is, and I get so many compliments.
When I see redheaded kids, my heart just leaps. A few years ago a
beautiful, freckely curly haired redhead came into the shop with her
mom and aunt, both brunettes. She was around 10 or so - just barely
into double digits, not quite a child, not a teenager. We chatted a
bit, she showed me how she could wiggle her ears. I told her that as
a redhead, she had a special set of magical skills and talents,
including ear wiggling, that she'd come to discover as she grew. She
beamed! I hope she loves her hair every single day of her gorgeous
life!
Children: 1 gorgeous 17 year old daughter...with dark brown hair.
