## Caption

“Have you ever woken up on the day of a key workout, big race, important meeting, final test, or deciding game and realized that the hair monsters 😈 were out to get you and would not be shut away in the deep dark dungeons where they belong? You know, hair monsters. The creatures that make your hair feel dry and frizzy or oily and greasy. It won’t lay right, it either looks flat or way too poofy. Uh oh, bad hair means I feel off my game, can’t concentrate, can’t think straight, can’t lead, can’t muster the energy. Bad hair leads to a bad attitude, we can all admit that.

Now I am NOT superstitious. I don’t believe in “lucky socks,” nor do I have a particular food I must eat the night before a race. I’ve always felt those superstitions took away from the incredible amount of WORK I have done leading up to the moment that I stand on the starting line with a bib pinned to the front of my uniform waiting for the gun to go off. If I run well, I don’t want to attribute an ounce of the credit to some random number I have decided to give extra power.

I subscribe to: “I don’t wish I work.” That kinda vibe- you get it.

But then I had a kind of change of heart...”

This is the beginning of an essay I wrote called “My Hair Monsters.” You can read the whole thing on my website and if you subscribe to my newsletter it got sent to your inbox this morning!
“Hair monsters” is a term I got from tiy_products, a female-founded startup company that makes the absolute best hair ties in the game. If you need help wrangling your hair monsters, check out tiy_products and you can use my code TIYCOLLEEN for 20% off your whole order of customizable, soft, stretchy, sturdy, colorful hair ties.
