There is a classic good versus evil power struggle that is affecting me in a very personal way.
Throughout the ages, there have been epic tales of good versus evil: Zeus v Hades; Popeye v Bluto; Harry v Voldemort; Dudley Do-Right v Snidely Whiplash, you know the classics.
The battle that is affecting me dwarfs these by comparison; it is the battle of Brown versus Grey for the control of my head.
Recently Gray has been making tremendous advancements, and currently occupies approximately 45% of the disputed territory, and clearly has the momentum on its’ side. With brown struggling to maintain a foothold, and with aging and atritting forces, it seems that it is just a matter of time before dominance of the region changes hands, and then brown will be nothing but an oppressed minority, suffering the retribution born tyranny of the newly empowered Gray.
Like Egypt’s Hosni Mubarak, Brown is going to fade away into irrelevance (albeit without the Swiss bank accounts), unlike the ammonia and pigment enhanced Muammar Qaddafi (insert the spelling of your choice here), Brown does not have the resources or logistical support to maintain its’ stronghold for long.
Deposing Brown is not good enough for Gray NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! Gray must taunt Brown by emerging in curled bundles to further illustrate the change of regime.
So, to my central question, why are my gray hairs curly? My internet research would indicate that it is somehow related to the lack of melanin producing pigment, therefore leaving air spaces in the hair which results in a different texture and consistency, producing the resultant curly hair.
That all sounds great, but what I really need to know is, when the battle for planet Joe’s Head is over, am I going to be doomed to a Brady like curled existence? I truly don’t think that I can live with ringlets and pin curls for my remaining years. Fortunately Houston is the home of the CHI, purveyors of the finest Flat Irons on the market today.
