Athena

HD client – 49, actress & model

I am curly. My life has been spent with my very own hair rejecting even the mere idea of being straight or glossy. It recoils from the silky approach. And when I say recoils, I mean it literally springs back in anger.

Having worked as an actor for oh so many, many moons I can reveal that I have been literally thrown out of a casting director’s office at the BBC for not looking like a drug addict ‘what drug addict has hair like a princess?’ I have been pushed aside by a multitude of Amazonian bronzed blondes at various auditions throughout my career. I have been shunned for being curly, let alone ginger (as if that wasn’t bad enough).

I was before my time you know. This was in an era when true redheads were known as ‘those unspeakable corkscrewed ginger things.’ Screwed may be right too. The quirky redhead. The ginger squirt. The flame-haired girl with a temper to match.

I sound more like the warm—up act for Cirque du Soleil. But I was an actress! A serious, well-trained, professional beast of the profession. At that time, when the 90’s were simmering, nobody looked like me in Hollywood. One redheaded actress had been in a few movies and that was that for a while. No natural redheads. Some were be-wigged and fortified with red hair. But guys come on, don’t you know we are bloodless? We have fire roaring through our veins. We have wild volcanic nether regions. And you can’t get that from fake hair. And FYI, HD can custom make anything, even Merkins, if you will.

So, with the help of Hair Development, I have expanded my colour range without any damage to my natural hair. I have decided to opt in to the beauty of the curl and let them fly free!  I have cleverly added other shades to my repertoire. Beachy blonde, softly warmed amber and being amazing HD hair (read more in the website description, I’m not one for technicalities, I just know what’s lush), they curl like my own and suddenly, magnificently I have an incredible head of glorious bouncy curls. Curlage. Have I just coined a new word?

I shall wear them proudly, freely, without hesitation, maybe repetition but most certainly deviation (can a curl deviate? I think so!).
