Hair

My Hair
Not the 70s musical and movie Hair. May come back to that some other time.
Back to my hair.
It is long by its own standard. Really long. It's at the stage were managing it is a hassle. To get it looking right, I need to hose it down, dry it, comb it, oil it, cream it, spray it a little, not roll the car window down, etc.. I arrive at the office and it looks like Einstein's hair..  Done by electricity.
I noticed something peculiar.
At night when no one encounters the hair.. it tends to look amazing.. flawless.. just right.. just what I wanted it to look like 12 hours ago.
This reminded me of my cousin's cockatoo. which I named Ziggy after Ziggy Marley. That was  because its messed up hair looked like dreadlocks when it first arrived. When it was wild. As it became comfortable with us, its hair (feathers) became very smooth.. and elegant.
Now I have to call my hair Ziggy in the mornings.
