I ran out to get my hair cut first thing this morning. Last time, I had a woman who thinned out my thick hair from underneath and my hair just did not lay right for months.
I finally went in and got it cut and had it layered and styled to frame my face more and now my hair curls again rather than just hanging there around my face.
As I am not into long, soulful staring at the mirror while I style my hair this allows me to look like I tried.
