The Stages of Curly Hair Grief
To Whom It May Concern:
I’m sure we are just over-reacting, but is seems a little dry recently… We aren’t suggesting that you’ve stopped taking care of your luscious locks, but it really seems like you aren’t using the quality of conditioner that you ought to be.
Love, your strands.
To Whom It May Concern:
We tried to be rational. We told you that a change was necessary. Now we have to play the bad guy. Until you start using the right conditioner again, we are holding all of your good hair days hostage. Reconsider your actions, or else. Don’t &*$^ with us.
Love, your strands.
To Whom It May Concern:
We’d like to formally apologize for being so crass before. It was wrong. We really want to get on the same page here! If you use Aveda conditioner even one (1) time this week, we promise to make your bed head look like runway hair. We’ll quit it with the rebellious fly aways, we’ll even drape dramatically around your beautiful face when your crush comes in the room. I’m sure we can work something out.
Love, your strands.
To Whom It May Concern:
There is no point in trying now. If you haven’t noticed, your previously adored soft curls have stopped curling. There’s no spring. There’s no swirl. There’s no shine. Is anyone even receiving these messages? Are you even out there? Does it even matter?
Love, your strands.
To Whom It May Concern:
I’m not going to moisture coat this for you. We are done, we don’t care anymore. We have officially moved on. Prepare for split ends because we won’t bother holding it together anymore. In fact some of us are starting to completely jump ship to wind up in the vacuum with the rest of your under-appreciated locks. I hope you’re happy.
Love, your strands.
