Anatomy of an Up-do

Disclaimer: I do not own any part of CSI: New York.

A/N: This fic is a series of drabbles (trying to stay at 200 words) concerning my favorite crime fighting ladies, summer weather and long hair. This idea popped into my head a few nights ago when I came back from my birthday celebration. I have spent about 2 years growing my hair out. And all the ladies at my church were chopping theirs off. It was just below my ears when I got serious about growing it out. I wore braids for about a year. When I took them out, I let my hair breathe for a month then I had a perm put in. My hair is now below my shoulders and I love it. However, I live in Memphis and it has already started to get hot. For my birthday, I had my hair in a ponytail started at the crown on my head so it could swing freely and stay off my neck. I forgot to take the hair clip out when I went to bed and remembered when I woke up suddenly with my head hurting from the clip. Of course, it could have been this idea trying to get out. I'm seeing this series in 6 fics so far, CSI: Miami, CSI: NY, CSI, Criminal Minds, NCIS, and NCIS: Los Angeles. So I guess if you Author Alert me then you'll know when I post each one. Or you could just keep checking my profile for new stories or checking the fics. Everything is written from POV of each lady. Please read and review. I enjoy reviews.

Update 8/20/11: I know you're thinking why update? I wrote this last summer (6/2010) when I posted the other two for NCIS: LA and CSI: Miami. Somehow I forgot to post it. Go figure. Anyway volume two "I Am Not My Hair" for Criminal Minds and NCIS hopefully will be up in about a week. If you're on twitter you can follow me (at symbol) sissouthernink. I'll follow back.

Summary: One of the best accessories a woman can wear is her hair. In the summer, it is an up-do. The main point is to look cute while she keeps her hair up and off her neck, avoiding the sweat. After all, being fashionable means being cute and comfortable, right?
