          'm 
            having a Bad Hair Day. Well, to be honest, I'm having a Bad Hair Week. 
            I'm due for a haircut and my hair has reached that stage where charmingly 
            tousled becomes downright unkempt.

          Fortunately, 
              I am not without resources in this battle with my unruly locks. 
              Science is on my side. About a year ago (about the same time I became 
              a blonde), I started doing a little research into hair and makeup 
              for a book that I planned to write. Along the way—through 
              hair color changes and research—I realized that a little bit 
              of understanding could reduce the number of Bad Hair Days I experience. 
              Scientific knowledge and a few chemical concoctions will get me 
              through the week and a half until I get my hair back into acceptable 
              shape.
