Your bangs and or without bangs tell the story of you and your world, revealing or secreting away a wonderful face, and a forehead revealed is powerful and bold, expressive and open. I always thought your bangs were so you, but we do change, and it may be that those animated bangs are reacting to climate change, external and internal. The only time I had bangs was in kindergarten--also the only time, for some crazy reason, my hair was straight and blond. Since then dull brown, curls, frizz, some times lucky waves. Covering gray happened before chemo induced bald times. When my hair grew back, on my surprisingly round head, it was darker (no gray!) and curlier (no frizz!) than before. It felt like a final fuck you to cancer, as well as the luck of the draw. I did not mind being bald and kept my hair really short for years, but like others, the cost became prohibitive. The gray returned, and now I waver every few months about the dye job, sometimes reluctantly giving in, but then feeling relief when I do. Then the cycle starts again. Maybe after menopause the cycle of our hair is a gauge of forever hormonally engaged bodies? Recommendations of good hair people in the Hudson Valley? Hudson? Kingston? Red Hook? Rhinebeck? I have tried a few, but not found one that likes to work with waves and curls.

Loved reading about your hair journey pre- and post-cancer, Emily. Will email you, re: places in the area. <3
