convertible hair

Yesterday was my birthday and my husband bought me the best gift I could ever think of: a convertible Mini Cooper!! It is so much fun to drive and I’m grateful to have a wonderful husband that would buy me such an amazing car.

Parked in the driveway with the top down and ready to go, oh yeah!

Okay, so here’s the problem: I have hair that is about 3 inches longer than my shoulders and I would love it if after I drove with the top down I didn’t look like Charles Manson.

Yikes!!

Okay, I don’t look exactly like that, but my hair does get crazy tangled in the wind.

Back in the day there used to be beautiful women driving in convertibles all the time. But…they always wore head scarves. So am I relegated to wearing a head scarf whenever I want to drive with the top down???

Although my whining was annoying a couple of friends and family members who shall remain anonymous, they ended up giving me a good suggestion. Mostly, I think it was to shut me up. They recommended I watch a part of the Adam Sandler movie “Spanglish” to understand how to get perfectly flowing hair while driving a convertible. If anybody finds this clip will you please send it to me? 

In the meantime, hope to see you out on the open road! I’ll be the one with the top down trying to see where I’m going because my hair is in my eyes, so watch out…
