A lady and her hair
I had a good laugh today so i decided to share it with you.
Ever gone to the salon really feeling enthusiastic about a new hair do knowing you would kill it? You sit down, concomitantly going through the ordeals, the washing, drying, straightening, bonding, weaving, and sewing.
Besides beauty is pain. Shockingly when you are through, you look into the mirror and what you have staring back at you is nothing but hideous, ok, LOL, maybe i over exaggerated. You look into the mirror and all you see is your joy deflating. The time, energy, expectations e.t.c.
There's something irrefutable about a womans self esteem, emotions and her hair.
If you are a victim of a bad weave or fix, your mood could go from high to low in just seconds.
I made my hair lastweek and it didnt look like it was taking good shape, i was abit sad already, when two 'oversabi' girls walked into the salon, and in a moment were admiring my weave and before i could blink, one quickly added, " i dont like the hair".
I looked at her from the mirror hung orthogonally.
I had nothing to say but console myself with the fact that she was carrying an unkempt and spongy weavon.
"What possibly would she know about hair?", i thought aloud. I was amazed at how immediately i got to my room, i began to see reasons with her and began questioning all my friends, " Is my hair fine?", "are you sure it fits me?".
A few offered me respite, but the others i asked, thought it permission to unleash the can of worms.
Trust me, the next morning, i woke up very early to "re-Do" my hair. No wasting time..lie lie! What could be even worse is a guy telling you,that your hair stinks or that it looks rough or he thinks ''the previous one you did looked better than this, but it is STILL fine SHA!'' So you dont find yourself in such a precarious situation, please keep your hair nets and stuff clean and neat.
Make sure you are satisfied, comfortable and convinced about the style you have chosen.
Maintain one hairstylist!
The relationship between a lady and her stylist is an unexplicable bond.
I get nervous when i have to go to a new salon and i am sure you do too.
So unless you are totally certain that you can damn the consequences, abstain and stick to your stylist, but remember, no change is bad change. Lastly, if you are like me, it means you probably waste alot of time in the salon trying to select a style. Do yourself some good by thinking of it the night before and choose one. If you cant better still stick to what styles work best for you.
Please help a friend build her self esteem, instead of being honest and blunt, when it comes to hair, ladies are very sensitive. Only tell your friend when they ask for the sincere truth, and when you are certain that you are close enough not to sugarcoat, if you are not kindly be a bit less generous with your comments and instead of saying "ahh, its not fine at all, abeg lose am", say, "its not bad o, it would have been better if the stylist did it like this or that". Don't worry you are not lying, you are only consciously helping build a friends esteem. One last thig, if a person doesn't ask you for your input, please dont offer it. You just might walk home with a sore lip. Some girls nor dey Smile o!
