When I was a kid if I was having a bad hair day, I would spend so much time infrot of the mirror trying to fix it . There were some days I didn't even want to go to school .I even think there were a few times I didn't go because of it . I know when I was a teen I had naturally curly, thick hair .I couldn't wear it culry or stragight.Most times my curls would just frizz up.I would blow dry my hair and it would get mostly straight, but it always seemed to still have a wave in it . On rainy days you could forget it, my hair was a mess .Sometimes, even when I would put my hair back it would be a mess. I knew nothing about what shampoo to use, style aids, or flat iron .All those things above could of saved me many bad hair days . Oh, all the things you learn as an adult. I just dont get why some days your hair will look differnt than other days . Even if you do the same thing . I think maybe weather and build up have much to do with it . As an adult it still kinda will bother me . I dont spend hrs trying to fix it anymore . I will just throw my hair up in a bun or ponytail type of style. When I have somewhere important to go I will work on it a bit longer . For me when I have a good hair day I just feel better about myself .I know that may sound crazy, but that is me . My fiance always tells me my hair always looks the same and no one cares, but hey that is just men . lol!!

Yea. I still freak out when I have a bad hair day. I will feel so moody and not feel like doing anything at all. Whenever I feel I have a bad hair day, I will look at my small mirror all the time, just to make sure that my hair is all in place and neat. I'll feel irritable if I cannot get my hair in place.

That's exactly what I felt 2 weeks ago. I immediately called my friend and we went for a hair cut together. Now, I feel much better.

Well, I don't really have that many bad hair days. I always have short hair and I'm not used to grooming my hair that much. Only on those times that I wasn't able to go to the barber shop and I miss at least 2-3 weeks and my hair gets really long and becomes annoying when it's blown away. Most I can remember was at work when I commute and I just feel uncomfortable about my hair being a bit longer than usual. It does disrupt my mood a bit. I try to fix it as soon as I can.

I used to freak out and about the only time I do now is if I have some place really really important to go to. My hair is naturally curly and so it goes how it wants to. We have had rain for a week now so it has been so very curly. I figure I have no control over it on these days so the best thing to do is just let it do what it wants to do. I would be in the house all spring and during humid summer days if I let it still get to me.

This whole month of may i pretty much had a bad hair day . Now that the weather is warming up I will have to let it air dry and hope for the best . I will only use my flat iron when i have somewhere nice to go.

I'll have to admit that I do feel kind of weird when my hair gets all puffy. I feel like my day could be going better. But I don't do a major freak out. Those things used to bother me more. But not so much now. I just put it up into a bun and go. Much easier to deal with in the heat of summer!

I hate when my hair will be all crazy when I have somewhere nice to go , or meet up with some people . Usually , in the summer my hair is always up and wet .

Yeah, and i will freak out more as compared to when i was a kid.. lol =D As a kid, i wun care much for my appearance as there's only a standard way of combing our hair for singaporean kids.. haha =D ANd it makes all looks so nerdy.. hehe BUt as i grow up, interact with more ple, i start to take note of my appearance, especially with gals around and thus, i dun wanna have a bad hair day and appear untidy.. haha =D So whenever i'm faced with such a situation, i will use alot of gel to gel my hair and if still that doesn't work, i will just wear my cap.. hehe
