Our niece in South Carolina was instant messaging with me yesterday and she put some pictures in the message. Oh my goodness, one of them was me and it is from about 40 years ago. It is a picture her mother took at our mutual in-law's house. I have never seen this picture.
Have you ever had someone show you a picture of yourself that you have never seen? I have so many pictures that I have taken over the years but since I am the photographer, I am not in many of them.
I laughingly told her that the curly hair I had in the picture was the result of a perm. Today, my hair curls on its own lol. Obviously, I don't look that different, she knew it was me.

@BelleStarr I was thin, then heavy, then thin again and now I am heavy again. I am trying to lose it. I have to. I know what you mean. But I am not that good looking. At least I don't think so.

@inertia4 You are good looking inside and that is much more important than what is on the outside!! Don't sell yourself short.

lol My hair got really curly in my 50s especially when the weather is humid. I have summer hair and winter hair and they are very different.

It was a pleasantly surprised to see the picture taken about 40 years ago,which must have induced memories of the glorious youth.

@BelleStarr It was probably the lighting that makes your hair look darker.

Nice photo! I knew it was you just by looking at the photo alone. Indeed your looks did not really change a lot.

Yes my hair does look really dark in that picture and it never really was, it is a medium brown with a reddish hint. I think the picture has a funny tint to it because the one of my husband is overly dark too. I never ever had black hair and when I color it I go lighter not darker. I am not quite that pale either I am ruddy!! lol
