My childhood was very difficult for a couple of different reasons, but one of the main reasons was because I was so unhappy with the appearance of my hair. The benefits of silica gel for hair weren’t known then, and those of us with unruly hair had no choice but to suffer. I hated to see it start to rain because I knew that within a matter of minutes, my hair would turn into a frizzy mess. I tried everything from wearing it very short, which made me look and feel like a boy, to attempting to iron it straight with my mother’s household iron. Everything that I tried only seemed to make the situation worse.
Although I became a grown up and relocated to a new part of the country, my hair never changed. By this time I had resigned myself to life with unmanageable hair and just did the best that I could with it. I invested in an extensive collection of hats and tried to play up my other features as much as possible in order to take attention away from my hair. Deep down though, I really wanted the glossy, smooth look that seemed to come so naturally to many other women.
A colleague at work one day recommended that I see if silica hair gel would give me good results. She had a tube of it in her purse and allowed me to try a small bit of it on my hair. Within seconds I could feel a major difference, so on my way home from work that day I stopped and purchased some for myself. That evening, I spent several happy hours experimenting with it.
These days, I use silica hair gel every day. I look better and feel much better about myself. I only wish that this product had been available when I was younger.
