Kinky or Straight

Being a girl and living in Southern Ontario means that weather effects every decision you could possibly make - including how to style your hair.  

If you're lucky you either have straight hair or curly hair. The kind of hair that is easy wash and wear and looks perfect without much struggle.  

If your like me, you have hair that falls in between. Not quite curly, not quite straight. It kinks, bends and frizzes in ways that are just completely unfortunate and difficult to control.  


However, depending on the time of year and weather there are solutions.  

I love winter, because I can wear my hair straight. In my opinion this is when it looks it's best. I also find hat hair an excellent excuse not to curl my hair. While straightening can be a ton of work, taking the time to blow out my hair with a round brush dramatically cuts down the straightening time. And the results last. I normally only have to style my hair once every three days in the winter. 


This is not the case in the summer. While living on Lake Ontario is amazing, the humidity it causes is not. My hair is uncontrollable in the summer. I have just accepted this fact this year. For summer of 2010 I am giving up my beloved hair straightener.

It'll be an adventure filled with mouse and many showers all in the efforts to achieve the perfect curls and perfect the process so they turn out that way every morning and last all day. wish me luck - I'm going to need it.
