Hair....Or Lack Thereof

I have a constant battle with my hair.  Or, maybe I should say the growing lack of it.  I have always had very fine, straight hair.  It is the bane of my existence.  When I was younger, I wanted to have those beautiful heads of long and lush hair like the girls on the Herbal Essence commercials.  Full, long  hair. The body and bounce!  How I wanted that hair.  I, too, used Herbal Essence, but did my hair look like that?  NO!  I blow-dried, fluffed, curled, fluffed some more.......with no resemblance to those heads of hair.  I still fight this battle....except now my hair is thinning, too.  And, grey!  Fine, limp, flat, thin, straight, grey hair.  I am so lucky!!  So, now besides, drying, fluffing, curling and spraying, I have to color, too.  And, quite often! How is it that those roots show up after a couple of weeks, but my hair grew like a snail when I was younger and wanted those long, beautiful locks?  And, the length....should I go longer or should I go shorter?  Which way makes my face look thinner?  What is it, this obsession with hair?  Hey, just wondering....does anybody else out there still use hot rollers, or am I the only woman in America that can't live without them? If they ever grow extinct, I will be in big trouble.  I search garage sales for those last bastions of hope for us flat-haired gals. So, this battle with my hair will go on. I guess it could be way worse. Luckily, I still have the hot rollers and  I will say one positive thing about the thinning of the hair......I don't have to shave my legs as often.  Yes,  I will cling to that bright thought.
