Straight or curly?

For those of you who know me well, you have only EVER known me with curly hair. Like my husband and my mother tell me constantly, I am me with curly hair, it matches my personality (effervescent and absolutely charming, by the way) and it is my Fijian heritage.

Of course, I know all this. I do. I grew to sort of embrace my curliness and I loved that it was a symbol of my heritage (despite being the fairest of my siblings). But.....and I do say but.....there comes a time in every curly haired life when you dream of having straight hair. I have had this dream, many times.

So, I took the plunge. L'Oreal Extenso rebonding to be exact. The best of the best, guaranteed to give you a natural straight hair look with out the frizzies and the dryness and the lack of movement.

Friends, you be the judge. I don't like to put my photo out there but here is me with my new look.



Note to readers: Regardless of what you think, I am LOVING having straight hair. It is so much fun!

Mothers are right!! Havent changed my mind; prefer the natural curls. Will it be back to normal in a couple of weeks???? You'll get more feedback when we see you!! Most important, has Tevita accepted the change and changed his mind????

Looking good! It's Mel 2.0! I can definitely sympathize with wanting what you haven't got - with my straight hair, I want your curls!

I'm getting used to it. Still prefer my Fijian curly girl though.

Main thing is that she likes it, and if the missus is happy? well then i'm happy!

Ok. Will confirm. Will be straight for about six months - who would have thought. The highlights aren't new. You just didn't notice them before in amongst all those curls :-)

You look very nice with straight hair- this is also a fun blog!

Wow! I missed quite the discussion. I think it looks fine. Change is good and we can't base our identity on our hair. You are Fijin because you are Fijin not because of your hair.

Miss you Mel...
