40 years of curls

This is me. Over 40 years ago. Little blond ringlets. Super fine baby hair. I was going through old photos and came across this gem. It made me think about my curly hair throughout the years. As a child, I did not like my wild hair combed or brushed. I am almost positive that zero product was used for these blond ringlets, as I grew up in a straight hair household. My mom said she remembers that I hated having my hair combed, brushed, or touched. I am guessing that is because brushing and combing out curls on dry hair is not gentle handling.
