I think your hair looks lovely in that photo.

To me, that is not big hair. Chaka Khan or Farrah Fawcett circa mid '70s? Now that is some big hair and I see nothing wrong with it. Those women looked fantastic. Why/how did that trend end?

You should move to Texas. I hear everything's bigger there. Hair definitely included! :) i love that you & 1969 have terrors for your youngest but the oldest is all sweetness & light. so funny.

lol that's too funny. Don't worry I won't call you...

Stacy,
Thanks for saying so. I like your biases! :)

Doulala,
You can do it! :) I did that 6 month thing for a few years too. I always felt like such a failure, like what was wrong with me that I couldn't commit to not having straight hair. But you know, when the time is right for you, you'll know. Otherwise, I think your hair looks lovely! :)

Call Fam,
Oh yes, he's moved on to Frizzy Lizzy. And I threatened to not take him to Disneyland tomorrow. I felt like mushroom head the other day but gosh, that's not a fun spot to be in as a child when you get teased more. I have to check out this Chase commercial! Sounds cool!

Nick,
Oh it was definitely a little frizzy but why does that have to be a bad thing? I hope as the world expands its horizons that some of these old-fashioned notions about what's respectable or professional get ditched.

Quite, it's not frizzy, it's curly. Frizzy means s...

Quite, it's not frizzy, it's curly. Frizzy means sticking up all over the place semi-punk style, which yours definitely ain't. Nothing wrong with big hair either, why does it have to be "tamed" and "controlled" to make it respectable? All these ridiculous stereotypes and dress codes....

btw...you got to get him to see that new Chase (bank) commercial about texting with the natural hair mom and her two natural hair beauty girls.

Frizz- I hate that word. When I married my English husband, I learned that they don't call hair, "curly", just "frizzy." Like I was Ms. Frizzle form the Magic School Bus or something. I will spare you the stories of my "mushroom head" childhood years. Your "ginormous" hair is an inspiration to us all, so go ahead and rock it!

Oh Liz! your hair looks SOOOOOO beautiful in this ...

Oh Liz! your hair looks SOOOOOO beautiful in this pic! Oh how I wish I would just commit to going natural. I've been doing the "grow it out for 6 months and then cave" thing for almost two years now. I want big beautiful hair like you. ;-)

I LOVE the big natural curls! We have very similar hair, so I will say that I am very proud to admit my biases :-)
