I grew up as a definite ugly duckling - the only curly brunette in a large extended family of straight-haired, blue-eyed blondes - and it had a significant impact on my self-image. I spent hours in front of the blow dryer, tried chemical relaxers, and rejoiced when straightener technology enabled me to have "socially acceptable" hair every day. Over the past few years I've made a major effort to accept myself as nature intended, focusing on health over image, and my hair has really responded to the love. Even though I still struggle every so often, most of the time I appreciate my shiny 2c-3b curls that currently reach halfway between BSL and waist.
So the school where I teach has students complete polls about teachers for the yearbook, and this year I was voted the teacher with the best hair! I'm a swan, everyone!
