Hair Rebonding

I've put up with the frizziness, split ends and damaged hair for 20 years. Dad was a constant critic of my unkempt hair. Not that i wanted it this way... Sick of having to clear those loose strands and those entangled ones caught in the comb, i put a stop to all of that yesterday. Enough was enough.

4.5 hours... I was perhaps their longest sitting-in customer for the day. Business was brisk. People came and go while i still sat on that arm chair, wondering when was the time i could walk out that door.

It took forever. First up was hair cutting. Trimmed here and there, had my fringe snipped shorter, layered my hair again so that the hair wouldn't look too bulky... The usual that i had when i go for a hair cut.

A while later, the hairdresser smeared some substance over my hair. It was horribly piercing. I was chemically intoxicated. Every gasp of the air, i smelt the stench all around me. I could hardly breathe. For once, how i wished i could live by without breathing. I was urgently in need of detoxification.

Thank God, it was washed off after what seemed like eternity. Then came the straightening part. That was fun. The heat was comforting but towards the end, my hair felt like it was on fire. The sides of my face were heated up but soon after, the steam evaporated and the heat dissipated. Ohh... felt wonderful.

I thought that was the end of it. Damn. I was so wrong. It was another hour or two before the entire process ended. Thereafter, she smeared another substance all over my hair again. This time round, i sniffed the air around, hoping it wasn't as pungent as the previous. Phew... It wasn't. Smelled pretty sweet actually.

A second wash. Hair washing felt real good. Free head massage. Haha... After the hairdresser dried my hair a little, she spreaded treatment over my hair. Shit. That's another 10 minutes of waiting for the substance to set in.

The final hair wash. Only the straining of the neck was uncomfortable. I had my neck strained for all three washes. Now, i'm experiencing the after effects of it. Argh...

I was so god damn happy that this never ending process was nearing completion. But then, she started taking out her scissors and comb again. SCREAMS!!!

She's professional in her job. That, i have no issue with. But, i was sitting there for the past four hours, surviving on 300ml of water and 1 bloody sweet. My stomach was grumbling like crazy then [ i hadn't had my lunch, you see...]. Oh geez, when she kept her hairdressing instruments, i jolted up from my seat, paid up and left. By then, the clock read 4.00pm.

Expensive job done. Hair's finer and smoother. Time to satisfy my growling stomach...
