Better than big hair

Better than big hair

I grew up in the '80s, and, to this day, I'd give anything for big hair. As a middle schooler, I'd toil for hours with Dippity Do, a pink hairdryer, a scalding hot curling iron and my finest round brush, but after a few minutes, the beautiful fan bangs I'd created would be laying flat against my head. A Supercuts hairdresser once charged me the $8 child's fee because my baby-fine hair was no more complex than a 4-year-old's. I was 22 at the time. Offended and a little sad, I eventually moved on and discovered the wonderful world of expensive volumizers and life without conditioner.

But let's be honest. I'd still give a kidney or two for Jessica Simpson's fabulously ginormous locks. So if the closest I can get is a year of cuts and color with her super-talented stylist, you can bet I'm going to dig deep to make it happen. Luckily, Ken Paves is auctioning off just that...along with tickets, photos and goodies from a bunch of other well-coifed celebs -- I'm talking Clooney, Longoria, Pitt, Aguilera, the Beckhams and Miss Simpson herself. Best of all, the funds raised will help fight a rare skin disease, EB. Me and my (hopefully) big hair couldn't ask for more.

Great project and great cause! Exactly why the whatgives!? blog rocks!

Hair never really was a big thing for me, nor makeup. I just couldn't be arsed to spend 30+ minutes in front of the mirror making myself look *~*~*FABULOUS*~*~* or something. I just let my personality do all that. :3

I'm right there with ya! Wouldn't it be nice to just naturally have some volume, instead of pretending with product and fancy cuts...I don't want "big" hair, I just want stuff that doesn't plaster itself to my head after an hour :/
