"I hope your hair curls naturally, does it?
Yes, darling, with a little help from others.”
— Oscar Wilde, The Importance of Being Earnest

Today marks Oscar Wilde's 160th birthday, and would that I had thought to share this bon mot when I saw Renee, 29, and her mom Lottie appear in all of their well-tressed glory on top of the mountain this unseasonably chilly morning. Renee is originally from Chicago by way of Mississippi and owns Twisty Locks salon in Lilburn, GA, and she and her mom have now been growing out their hair naturally for about 15 years. No weaves, no extensions, no chemicals, just a twist or two will do.
