Way over Yonder, that's where I'm bound |
That was one of the chat up lines on the train heading home last night.
It's big, it's curly and it's dark but the silver strands are visible and I really don't think anyone would a) get a wig like this or b) dye their hair to get this particular colour combination.
Is your hair real?

"Yes 
I stripped years of dark red, dark purple and black dye off it in March 2015. It's been its natural brown since. It's a nice shade."
Does it feel nicer (to the touch) now that it's all yours?

I suppose so - it's nice that it matches my eye brows and pubic hair too. |

Yeah. I have people ask me it regardless of whether or not I straighten it. Giant curls seems to attract more questions on the authenticity of it here, straightened has that effect in Barbados.
Or they tell me how much they like my weave.  |

"Cheeky so and so! Did you give them a slap!? 
My ear and nostril hair is sadly all too real and getting more volumous by the day!  "
Do you get it burnt off at the barbers?
I wanted to slap him almost as soon as the train left the station. It was too full to change seats so I was stuck with him drinking and giving me his phone number for the whole journey. He wasn't rude (until he got to my hair), just relentlessly persistent. |

Yours doesn't look like it has a weave - at all!
I never straighten mine and get people telling me I should. It looks a bit too ethnic at times for some, I think. |

"Yes it's real but it's not mine, it's extensions "
I'm a little bit intrigued about wearing other people's hair. I assume most of it comes from Asia. Does it feel the same as the hair that grows from your head?

No, no it's not.
You stole it from Freddie Fox when he was in Pride, didn't you? (See the scene with the Welsh girls braiding his hair.)

I would quite like a Welsh girl to braid my hair.
I do actually get asked, quite often, if I dye and straighten my hair. I don't. I barely run a brush through it most days. |

My hair is my real hair and it's caused a bit of a stir lately as I grew out the blonde highlights I'd had for years, now people are like "ohhh have you gone darker, it's a lovely colour" and I'm like "this is my hair, this is my actual colour"  |

You maintained the blonde well, as people must have thought that was the natural colour.

eyebrows didn't hold the colour that well, so about 7-10 days, pubes didn't last much longer, it was quick and easy to do, but only as a novelty thing, up keep would be too annoying for me.x |

Then comes the 'what sort' question.
Although I did have to wash them last year in washing powder following an oily nit treatment, it was the only thing that got rid of the grease and the aroma of laundry stayed with me for weeks. |

I think that's sadly the case. Have you ever worried about it not being seen as 'professional'?
For what it's worth your curls and their definition give me envy. |

Mine is real, yes. I've been asked on many occasions if its real including once at a graveside during an interrment . I think people assume its extensions but someone did once ask "is it a wig?" then actually yanked it |

Hair started falling out after death of my son. Plus side, there are some fantastic wigs around. Even my black friends think my hair is real. |

I have sometimes had the thought that it's not 'professional' enough. I've even had someone on Fab tell me that they would prefer to meet me if my hair was in a more professional style.
I had a year where I decided to not wear make-up of any sort and embrace my curls. My career was at its height at that point. I'm never going to have enough interest to take the time to do the work to keep it straight; I like to wash it every day in the shower, put some oil, serum or cream on (depending on what I have in) and leave it alone to do its thing. I'm very lazy.
I am not happy about the anglicising of hair and beauty to be the definition of beauty or professional. Every few years Afro curls come back into fashion and that begets its own fetish.

It appears to have been fashionable recently for people to dye their hair grey. Do what makes you happy.

My hair is mostly real. The colour is as near to real as it can be for most of its length due to the premature silvering I am not ready to embrace. The tips are currently unreal and a bit ginger. |

It means you are unlikely to go grey until your late 50s.

Actually, I do because that makes it sound like I've got extensions. The tips are all real hair that I grew myself (although I could get it cut, it's nearly waistlength now when it's wet). It's just the colour on the ends that isn't natural. |
