Put down the straightening cream, step away from that flat iron, and come join me as I declare October to be …

Natural Locks’tober!

It is estimated that more than 65% of women have naturally curly or wavy hair. According to observation, the numbers appear much less.

The multi-billion-dollar hair-straightening market (in the U.S. alone) helps hide this, but it doesn’t mean it’s not there.

I often say my hair is more of a landmark than a style.

People know me for my hair. When it’s pulled back, it’s almost as if I’m incognito.

Blonde (and blonder) corkscrew curls seem to burst out of my head from every direction – controlled  chaos. I don’t try to control how my hair lands, but I do try to control how big it goes.

You know, the bigger the taller. After all, I’m only five-feet, well five-four if you include my hair.
