24 Festive Tasks: Door 8 – Penance Day, Task 3:

… until age 2, I didn’t have any hair at all.
When it did start to grow, though, it soon became clear that it was going to be a challenge to keep in check — it’s both frizzy and curly (and the curls and general frizziness multiply with the level of humidity they’re exposed to). When I was little, my mom tried the “keep it short” approach …
… but that ultimately didn’t really help, either — the only thing it achieved was to make me profoundly hate going to the hairdresser’s (to this day, in fact). So ever since my childhood, the struggle has been real!
