My heritage is southern Italian. All my life, I’ve struggled with too much hair. Those cute dark curls I had as a little girl became increasingly problematic as I grew up. My brother quickly learned my weak spot and could bring me to tears with just a few words: “Cousin Itt”, “unibrow”, “mustache”. In high school, I wanted hair like Mary Travers in the folk group Peter, Paul & Mary (long, straight, optionally blonde). Instead, I had hair like Alice the female engineer in the Dilbert comic strip (wavy and wide like a pyramid).
