Unfortunately, I was cursed with what kids in kindergarten not-so-affectionately referred to as “mop-head.” To make matters worse, in 2nd grade I got hold of my dad's hair dryer with brush attachment and after several weeks of unsupervised blow-frying (not a typo), burnt my hair to a crisp.
My mother had all of my long unruly hair chopped off (and didn't warn me when she took me to the hairdresser – a term I use loosely – but that's a whole other trauma altogether).
I looked like I was being shipped off to boot camp. That was the same year I first saw Blaire Warner and her glorious mane in "The Facts of Life." I'd found my Dream Hair.
I vowed that one day I would have Blair Warner hair.
In the 20 or so intervening years, I did get a handle on my hair. I learned to use a clever combination of products, tools and techniques to get gorgeous (though brown) Blair Warner hair.
Growing up for several years in the Dominican Republic, I learned about the "Dominican Blow-Out" (more on that in a later post) – which was a lifesaver for me. People stopped me to ask me about my hair. Senior Year in High School I was voted "Best Hair." The Glory Days of my hair lasted a good 10 years.
But a few years ago, another nightmare started. My hair started to turn prematurely grey (hey Dad thanks for those genes!!!). As I began to experiment with color, my hair got even drier and frizzier than ever before. Despite my best efforts, I could no longer get my Dream Hair, it just didn't look or feel the same.
I became desperate to turn my hair around and get my long, flowy Blair Warner hair back.
I'm happy to report that I have successfully accomplished my own hair transformation - in spite of continuous coloring and highlighting - and I've also been able to help my girlfriends take control of their own hair nightmares.
I have learned exactly what works and what doesn’t when it comes to attaining Dream Hair, because I've got mine. And now my friends affectionately refer to my hair as “porn star hair," a high compliment indeed (I think). To me it will always be Blair Warner hair.
And now I've decided that I want to spread the word and educate a wider audience of women. Whether your hair is naturally frizzy (as mine originally was) or fried from damage, you can turn it around. For some it happens faster than others - depending on the causes of the frizz. But in almost every case, you CAN get the long, flowing, fabulous hair you've dreamed about.
I'm now a firm believer that you can do almost anything with your hair, it's limited only by what your willing to spend in terms of time and effort (and sometimes money) to maintain it.
