I always had very straight hair, and about 5 years ago it started getting wavy, but just a stripe down the back. Now it's moved all around to the sides, and almost to my bangs. More gray, of course. I finally had it cut into layers so I could have something else to do with it. Now I can use a big fat curling iron on it and it will actually curl! Not that I want to put that much work into it every day. hrmph.

I had straight hair as a kid, then got it cut very short in seventh grade and kept it that way through junior year in college. At that point I decided to grow it out because I was tired of getting mistaken for a boy and figured I should try to actually look feminine (and I hate wearing makeup and tend not to wear a lot of the so-called "girly" clothes because they're either not very practical, too skimpy or both). As it grew out, I was pleasantly surprised to find that it was coming in quite wavy. So no, you're not the only one. It has also gotten darker as I've gotten older--it was a dirty-blond color when I was little and now is medium brown. Now I have it down past my shoulder blades and all one length, and it's nice because I don't have to do much to it to make it look decent (I don't even own a blow dryer!) and don't have to go get it cut every six weeks.
