In honor of Halloween I thought I would share something REALLY scary with ya’ll. Pictures of my hair from waaaaay back when….aka my hairology!! Enjoy!!
I was looking for something the other day and came across some old high school pics. Scary right? They actually weren’t so bad except the hair. Lord help us all, what did I do before the flat iron was invented?!
I distinctly remember my Mom going to her salon and buying a bunch of products for me to try to tame the ‘fro. Poor thing, she just knew mousse would be the answer to all my frizz. Yeah, that didn’t happen. LOL!
WARNING: Serious Picture OVERLOAD!
Pre-School Ricci…back when the wavy-curls were still cute!
First Dance Recital, 4 years old, not too shabby.
Elementary School aka “The Bowl Cut Years”.
Seventh Grade…slightly tamed ‘fro.
Ninth Grade Basketball ‘fro.
Tenth Grade…devil horns.
And then something amazing happened…I bought my first Chi Flat Iron!! And I can honestly say that college was good to my hair…thank GOD!!
And of course…present day. Again thank God for whoever invented the flat iron!!
I love this! You were such a cute baby, toddler and little kid. I’m in no way brave enough to share my hairology haha because its baaaaaaad!
Your hair was seriously not bad. You should see some of mine. Or better yet, my sisters…she rocked that 80s poof thing like whoa!
Your hair looked great! We all had those “bad” moments hahahah.
Love a flat iron though!
Hahah I love looking at old “hair” pictures and seeing how style changed! Your hair was seriously not bad – the scrunchie was just a bad fashion choice that should have never been invented. Have you seen that episode of Sex & the City where Carrie explains appropriate scrunchie use? You should see it if you haven’t!
I love these! Your hair looks good! I decided to cut all mine off in like the 5th grade…I got called “young man” a lot that year lol
You look really cute! My favorite picture is your first dance recital one..you are gorgeous!
Haha I love this, honestly what did people do before flat irons? We have no power in MI right now from the storm & I am dying, my hair is a mess. It’s not straight or curly, its just a weird mess lol.
P.S. still super jealous of your skin, especially your 10th grade picture!
Ah, times before Chi! Memories. I totally had a bowl cut too, above my ears and I thought I was THE hottest thing to hit 5th grade.
Haha…fun post! I have poofy hair too and my hair used to do e devil horn thing too. I hated it!
I’m SO jealous of your dimples!
That’s probably a really weird thing to say…
;)

Hi, I found your blog through the “not quite there yet” link up. I just did a post like this but rather than looking at hairstyles I was looking at glasses (although to be honest my hairstyles were just as bad as the glasses in most cases.) Before hair straighteners my cousins used to literally iron their hair! Looking forward to following.
Thank god I have straight hair, I have no patience for hair styling! I just wash and brush and air dry (usually in a bun). SO lazy. :P Looks like you have conquered it, though! ;)
I love this! NO way I’d be brave enough to post pictures of me from ROUGH middle/high school years. Trust that I’m not even just ‘being nice’ when I say this but your hair wasn’t ever awful! You were and still are so pretty!
If I’m not mistaken, you were the first person to introduce me to the flat iron, back in the Jeanette street days. I’m now thankful for you every day! :)
