Wierd mid-life indulgences

[Crankin]

Well, hair products and a flat iron have changed my life. My hair was ultra short (wash, wax, go) for 10 years, on and off. Any time I tried to grow it, even a little it was hell. And, I felt like it was really mannish looking. Now, the top is longer, and I no longer look like an alien because one swish of almond oil and an application of semi-wax smooths my hair. If I have time, I let it air dry and then run the flat iron through the longer part. That takes me 5 minutes. If I really need to get ready in a hurry, I towel dry it, put the products in, then use the hair blower, then the flat iron. Yes, that takes me about 10 minutes, but so worth it to me. I have never been to a hotel that didn't have a hair blower. I also bought a travel sized flat iron, that I took on my trip to Italy. It could fit in my purse.
So, my hair is no longer wash and wear, but it's manageable and looks great. Before I started using these products (the oil is bought at CVS, but the wax is expensive, but worth every penny), even a flat iron didn't help me. I can actually get up in the AM and not have to totally have to wet and redo my hair.

I'm a wash-n- go girl myself, but I don't judge people on what they feel they need is important to look/feel OK. I can't always relate but not relating is different from judgements;
