Chemo Curls!

I was told they would come and I was skeptical. Every day my hair gets curlier. It's just straight up weird. When I was little I envied my mother and brother's curly locks. I would sleep with curlers in, braids in and even got a perm (twice!), but my previous hair lacked any form of texture. It refused to hold any curl, bobby pins, hair elastics, clips, volume,  anything that was shellacked in with 12 coats of hairspray . It really should have been washed twice a day because it was so fine that it showed every hint of dirt.

Now that I have a full head of hair I have full thick hair! The curls started on the back of my head. No matter how much I brush them out or try to straighten my hair while it's wet they curl. Now that the hair on the side of my head has gotten longer it too has started to turn. When my hair is wet I can actually get it to curl and stand out in every direction. Yesterday it was a little humid and I had two giant swirls on top of my head. I am so excited to have hair and I am frankly a little overwhelmed with what to do with curls. I know that part of me wants my straight hair back as I have had a couple of dreams the past month of putting my hair up in ponytails. One morning after I woke up I spiked my hair into a fauxhawk and guess what it stayed in place for hours! That would never have happened with my straight hair. This is going to be fun.

Here is what it looks like:

Well in fairness, my brother's hair is a little longer in this picture and lighter in color. Otherwise I am pretty sure we could pass for twins.
