I live in a wonderland

Obsessed with my hair

Where dryness or a split

Gives me a deathly scare

I believe that my best feature is my jet black straight hair. I'm a narcissist when it comes to my hair and I check my hair in the mirror at least once every fifteen minutes. I've been battling PCOD since two years and the hormonal pills used for the treatment messed my hair up completely, bringing me to the brink of a nervous breakdown. I regularly oiled, shampooed and conditioned my hair, but the strong dose of hormones in the pills dried my mane out, making it look like a discarded broom! I was shattered and cut my hair short. Hair wash then became an enemy as every wash was accompanied by loss of hair. Hats and scarfs soon became my best friend as the narcissist in me began to feel embarrassed to step out. 

For 25 years I had played with my hair the way I wanted too, but now I was restricted to a slim pony hidden under a frail scarf. My self confidence went for a toss, even though health was more important than vanity. My life turned upside down as I battled weight gain and hair loss. No matter what I did, I could not reverse them. I struggled within myself as I missed the independent confident woman I once was.

That was two years ago and today I'm happily back in my wonderland. The battle with the hormones still continue but my hair had retained its lost glory! Thanks to Dove Hair Therapy I'm back to playing with my hair now. Every day!

Freshly washed and conditioned

I'm feeling super confident today

Poker straight and glossy shine

That's my hair on a Monday

A delicate puff on the front

Settled in place with a gentle spray

Smiling wide without any worry

That's my hair on a Tuesday

A hair mask and a blow dry

For sun kissed waves that smoothly sway

I'm not bothered by the rays or the heat

That's my hair on a Wednesday

A french plait with a side braid

No spilt ends means no stray

My mane joyfully stays entwined

That's my hair on a Thursday

Ringlet curls that bounce up and down

Makes me feel all happy and gay

The curling tong no longer a foe

That's my hair on a Friday

A Grecian twist and a side bun

Perfect style with nothing to pay

Celebrating the joy of a weekend

That's my hair on a Saturday

Deep oil conditioning and a smooth wash

It seems to listen to what I say

Smelling nice and boosting confidence

That's my hair on a Sunday

I have always wanted to feel like a star where in I'm photographed with my hair flying in all directions making me look all dreamy. I haven't done it yet, but I can now do it without any fear!

Style your hair the way you want

From dryers and straighteners do not stay away

You have your own genie in a bottle
