26… so not how I thought things were going to be when I got to 26

What do you mean?
I thought I’d be so grown up and like starting a career or getting a degree or something at 19. Definitely not living at home… perhaps not though lol.

Yeah I always imagined when you’re 26 you’re completely sorted. Imagined I’d have chosen a career be progressing in it, have bought a house, maybe married and possibly planning to have kids in a few years and none of that is accurate

I mean life is was it is, and I wouldn’t change anything about my life or what I’ve done just always thought people at my age now knew what they were doing and still haven’t got a clue.

I have to say though Ella I think you sound pretty sorted for a 19 year old though You know sooooo much about hair. Seriously, if there was a salon that catered for curly hair I’d travel miles. You’d know which products to use, you could have techniques for safe colouring and don’t get me started on the skills and tricks involved in cutting curls ....

Aww thanks! Well that’s my goal. I want my salon filled with curly girls! I feel a little better now though as college is getting nearer

Hi, just joined (completely befuddled about all the products at the moment but giving it a try).  I’m 47 and feeling every day of it just now, lol.  Thinking if I can get my hair to look better with these techniques, I might stop colouring it and let the grey stripes at the front grow in!

Hey Lindaq and my other Curlie Sisters,
I am 34 goodness the time has flown by but now with the launch of British Curlies I finally feel I am doing what I was meant to. I have been searching for my own sense of fulfillment all my life and that search has come to an end. Words cannot express how grateful I am that you all have joined and the feedback on the britishcurlies.co.uk has been Wonderful! My dreams are only just starting and our adventure is just beginning lots of FABULOUS plans for us in the works. So all I can say is life is a journey and never give up on your dreams we can all make changes in our own unique and special ways. Curlies try not to put too much pressure on yourselves things have a funny way of working out when you least expect them
Lindaq I am so glad you joined the Curl Forum we will support you every step of the way. I think letting your grey stripes grow in would be awesome!

Kiesha Jo - I’m not just saying this but you really do look in your 20’s from the pic in your profile! WOW! I hope I look like that when I’m 34!!

Geez thanks Ella I have been aging well so far but I do have the grey hairs and lines to prove my 34 years.  Thanks though Ella you made my day!

you know I just realised I posted 38, when I’m actually only 36 LOL…... really ought to check my posts more carefully ... 2 years can make a big difference at my age hehe

Awww. Well lots of people made my day by saying I’m pretty and my hair looks nice! Everyone is so lovely here!

Oh well it is never too late to start caring for your curls. Curls are always beautiful

I’m 29 and turning the big 3-0 next month I also thought that I’d have my life sorted out by now, but I also didn’t finish uni until I was 26.

I’m just about to change careers too!  I am beginning to think that the idea of being “sorted” is a myth

19! Seems a popular age on this forum

I’m 30

Forty flippin’ six - and those years have literally flown by! And, sorry girls, I am so NOT gonna let those greys see the light of day! I don’t like the bloody texture of them (wiry!) so I just know I am not gonna like the look of them!    It is a pain in the bum having to have a root colour every six weeks, in between the highlights - I used to be able to just have highlights every three months until quite recently. The root colour thing is quite weird as I have to go darker than my natural colour to cover the grey - but at least it is only a semi (although my colourist said it is not taking quite so well anymore so he may have to make some adjustments!!) The things we do for our hair! LOL
