On the long drive back home I got to thinking how I have fallen into the trap of long straight hair being left open as the standard for glamorous hair! My hair has grown almost till my waist now and I feel it looks better straightened. So that's what I have been doing every Sunday for the last couple of weeks. I do not like that I have fallen into this trap and not only that I am passing on the wrong message to a young impressionable girl that hair looks good straightened. That is so so wrong! Will I build up the courage to come to work with wavy hair that looks unmade? I do not know. But I do know that with my maturity if I can fall into the trap how easy it will be for a young teenager like that? The thought is scary...Here I am at 30 with so much more potential to 'grow up'! :-)

Long Straight Hair - Glamorous?
I caught myself unaware yesterday. I was at my uncle's house and my eldest niece S1 was around. She has jet black, thick wavy hair. And it is shoulder length. Last evening I noticed she had straightened it. I immediately said "You straightened your hair. It looks nice". Little did I realize...

Thanks for visiting my blog. Reading your blog is on my to do list now. HA.
Keeping long hair straight is hard work (unless u have it naturally)...I used to blow dry and flat iron my hair almost everyday when I was single and working. My hair was down to the waist back then.
Now I rarely do that upkeep, and am seriously pondering adding highlights and then getting hair cut to shoulder length for manageability. I hate looking like a "bahenji" (not sure if you know Hindi?) with my hair in a bun at the nape of my neck...which is the sad case of my hair at the moment.
I'm sure young girls get influences from all over the place about hair so you don't have to worry about your comment too much. :-)
