From growing up as an infant to becoming an adult, in society the main feature we use is to define each other is hair. Everyone one in my family had different types of hair, in different textures, colors and shapes no two had matching hair.  Whether it is short or long hair it is commonly a headache, especially when you have hair that gives you problems because of the climate. Some people have it curly, straight, wavy, or even frizzy, but when the weather changes hair changes. When your individual mood changes your hair also changes. Through out your age and time hair changes, and the meaning behind hair also changes.

For example, when I was toddler, my mom and grandma had control over my hair. I had the same look for five years, the “Dora hair cut”. After my toddler years I officially had some control of my hair. I had medium hair length. I would do braids and pony tails on myself, but when I hit middle school everything changed. My hair was now longer. This was the first time I got layers on my hair. The haircut gave my hair a different shape. Since I have thick hair, the layers defined my hair and it even made my hair look slimmer. I loved the layers. I got the chance to finally curl it, straightened, pin it, and even got the chance to dye it when I turned 19. After I got into my teens I felt that I had more liberty and more of a wide range of how I can express myself through my hair. At times, you can tell whether I had a good or bad day, especially when I would wake up early or late. There were some days when I became “lazy” and just pulled up my hair in a bun. My hair has gone through the best and worst times in my life. Throughout the years my hair and myself have matured and have had different personalities.
