Well This is New….
I know pregnancy has some really weird lasting effects on a woman’s body. Feet and hands grow and may not shrink back, for one thing. Stretch marks create a road map to nowhere on tummies and thighs. Belly flab seems to want to stick around no matter what.
Thankfully my feet did go back to normal size, which is good because they were already pretty big. But my stretch marks and belly flab are a badge of honor. And my teeth were also something that changed - my teeth started shifting quite a bit pretty soon after Bridget was born, which prompted me to go ahead and get braces like my dentist had been harassing me to do for ten years.
But my hair has changed. My hair, while not what I would have called stick straight in the past, now has a distinct wave to it. I noticed it last spring some time. For the first time in my life, I had to purchase a flat iron. The wave is not enough to make my hair look cute. I can’t wash it and let it air dry to have a bouncy wave to it because it just looks silly.
Yesterday and today I had something happen that has never happened before. My hair was frizzy. In my almost 34 years on the planet, I have never had frizzy hair. What do you even do about this? Flat iron every day? Use some sort of product?
Honestly, in the midst of tantrums over teeth brushing, this is the last thing I need to worry about right now.

Well don’t come here then b/c Frizzy is every day at Chez Overlook. With our humidity it’s inevitable and makes me very reluctant to try to make my hair look decent because 3 minutes after walking outside it looks like I haven’t done a thing.
I never had frizzy hair until I had mu daughter either. Now, I must blow dry it with product everyday or the wave you speak of takes over, and it is not a cute wave.
I use a little bit of the Frizz Ease serum while my hair is still wet, and when I finish drying it, I use a smoothing serum by Jon Frieda to tame the crazies. It works, but sure is a pain in the ass not to be able to get out of the shower and go.,
That happened to me when I turned 25. I have no idea why - probably something to do with hormones. But I now have a thick set of wave hair in the back of my head. The hair at my sides? Straight.
Strange.
I don’t know what product to use. I’m hopeless with hair.
I use stickers with Sydney for teeth brushing. It works 75% of the time.
Er, the hair at the sides of my head not hair on my sides. Ew.
