I don⿿t know about most of you, but my hair is completely unmanageable. I don⿿t mean that I can⿿t get it to hold a curl or it is too limp or anything like that- rather, my hair has a mind and will of its own. If you think this sounds ridiculous, well, you haven⿿t seen my hair. It⿿s insanely thick (like, every single hairdresser I have ever gone to tells me that my hair is the thickest they have ever seen, AND I break hair elastics at least once a week).

Over the years I have accepted that beating my hair into submission only makes things worse, so I⿿ve given in and let it run wild. The realization that I⿿d never have the perfectly bouncy hair of Jennifer Garner or the swingy gloss of Courtney Cox⿿s hair was kind of sad, until Sandra Oh showed up on Grey⿿s Anatomy. She always had her hair pulled back with a great clip, and I hunted relentlessly until I found the same one at Ficcare…the hair accessories are a bit pricey but they last forever (I haven⿿t managed to break one yet) and hold even my ridiculous curls out of my face.

I swear by the large Maximas clip (in shades from the Classical and Lotus lines ) or the petite mini-Maximas which I use to sweep back a bit of my hair on one side. These clips have made me appreciate my hair, and maybe, just maybe, love it!
