My future curly rat tail

Yesterday and today I wore my hair down with a hat, which I haven't done since early September (when I discovered I could put it up in a bun safely).  I want to enjoy my long hair as much as I can these last 2 weeks!  Yesterday when I dried my hair, I realized the bottom section of my short grow-in area (the part that gets pulled upwards into a bun) is totally trained to go that way naturally.  As in, even drying my hair and wearing it down results in a big upwards curl.  NOT CUTE.  Especially with my new haircut coming in T minus less than 2 weeks!  I am slightly terrified that my hair will finally be long enough to chop off, my hair guy will cut it, and I'll have a weird reverse cowlick that curls upwards and totally throws off the wrong vibe.  (I don't know what vibe that is, but it's not sexy pixie, that's for sure.)  Let's hope that 12 days of hair down will retrain my hair!  Eek!

It's totally like this in the back!  BUT WORSE!  (Maybe...)

This picture is less accurate but more AWESOME.

Fingers crossed, friends!
