"Did you do something different to your hair?" the garrulous student who sits in the front row called out at the same time that another student said,"Your hair looks nice."
Finally, during Week 4, my students had noticed and commented on my hair. Unfortunately, it didn't have anything to do with an elaborate hairstyle, like the kinds I'd been wearing for four weeks. The comments came the day after I got a haircut and the stylist straightened it.
I would have gotten a comment from a student even if I'd worn my hair the exact same way every day - down and curly.
I do love having my hair straightened though. I felt quite beautiful with my long, flowing locks on the walk home
So, after four weeks of hairstyles, my students noticed a difference, but they haven't noticed all the carefully sculpted hairstyles -- a different one every day.
Technically, the comment, "Did you do something different to your hair?" is kind of insulting since I've done something different every day.
Here are the pictures from this week.
Monday I wore a side bun. I rolled the sides and gathered my hair into a bun on the right side of the back of my head.
On Wednesday was the noticeable straight hair.
On Friday, I tried four or five different hairstyles before I ended up just pulling the sides back in a barrette.
That's it for this week's Professor's Hair Diary. Thanks for hanging around. I hope I can stick to it. I may be losing enthusiasm.

Professors get to have fun too. I will tell my college prof niece about this post.
I can imagine that students would be amazed that hair went from just below shoulders to mid-back overnight.
As someone with pin-straight hair, I cannot understand why you would want to straighten curls that I try so hard to achieve. A little body, that's all I ask! Though glorious curls would be even better.
I have long hair and I know that problem at night so I pull my hair to a high ponytail and wrap a long elastic band - the kind that are meant to go around your head - loosely around not pulling it tight at all and that keeps the hair away from my neck.
This is a funny post. I love your curls but the straight hair does look amazing. I understand you wanting straight hair sometimes. .
