serious standy-uppy hair

 Once upon a time there was a little girl that had serious standy-uppy hair. Her mum tried everything to keep it down, to stop the people in the street staring. But the hair, it had a mind of its own. Eventually the little girl grew up and the hair grew so long it was too heavy to stand up. Then the girl had a baby (a boy!) and they all hoped that he wouldn't be afflicted with the same curse....

 Is this the start....?

 For reference.. here is the delightful photo from which my hair example is cropped. Once you've stopped admiring my funky outfit, make sure to check out the awesome 70s deck loungers!
