My Hair, My Terms!

A couple of weeks ago, I had come stomping home with a very bizarre expression on my face. Soenke even thought I had a mini accident or something along that line.

Frankly, I would say it was an accident. My hair of late had reached shoulder length. It doesn't take a superstar hairstylist to tell you that at this length, your hair is beyond control no matter what you do. It just curls or sticks out in odd direction on your shoulder. 

In this frustrating condition I was highly convinced that a trim would do me good. By the weekend, I was so desperate for a haircut. And also one that doesn't cost me a bomb for a quick trim. (The usual place that we go to was full and I had to make an appointment, which makes me feel more dejected.) So, I had the idea of popping by a hair saloon near our house. I was there once for a quick trim on the fringe and was quite okay with them. 

So I went there. As I sat down, the hair stylist started to tell me how bad my locks are and he can "help" me by applying some treatment on my hair. Like it's a favor and it doesn't cost me a dime. Well, wrong. Upon his insisting pushing of this product, I asked him how much it costs. $90 was the answer. Well, well, no wonder he was so insistent upon it. Not only that, he started to sell me their membership card. Oh boy, I was feeling very uncomfortable and unhappy. 

WHAT HORRIFYING LIES! Crap hair huh.. I have never had anyone tell me that I have bad/damaged hair. True, they were a bit limp due to lack of care but damaged it is not. That explains the reason why I stomped home. I was very, very annoyed. 

This experience somehow led me to want to prove that he is a big fat liar. I switched hair products. 

New shampoo and conditioner and hair mask! I became rather self conscious about my hair and consciously found myself at Mustafa's shampoo section, staring and wondering for a while.

I am very determined that I will not be pressured into wasting my money by horrible, pushy people who target poor helpless women who have been brainwashed to want to look good. To prove it to myself, I spent around $40 only for these 3 items. Plus factor: I can use it many, many times! My hair is now more voluminous, thanks to the new shampoo and conditioner. 

I have yet to try the hair mask. Since it is from Schwarzkopf I have no doubt it will work well, especially when I am also a Schwarzkopf :) Look out people, I will have shiny hair! So shiny you may need shades. Don't say I didn't warn you!

Roar to blind consumerism!!
