Originally, I didn’t really have plans for this Sunday. But after the shower I just had… I think I may need to get out. And that’s not because I want to.
On Thursday, during a peaceful shopping session with my lovely friend, I looked in the mirror and encountered an overgrown fringe and a bunch of hair that was as flat as the mirror itself. I decided then and there that I wanted my fringe to be cut and I wanted curls again. Permanent.
The moment I returned home I phoned the hairdresser. Could I come in tomorrow? No, we’re full. Saturday? Sure. As a hair-disaster, I left the house yesterday morning at 11.05. From the moment I called I had been mentally preparing myself for a good two hours of hair and head abuse.
The two hairdressers started to put the curly things in my hair. One of them seemed like the Godfather of the place and the other one was the n00b. Guess which one pulled and tugged most? That’s right, the old and bitter Godfather.
I had asked them not to curl my fringe. The Godfather refused though, she said it would look weird. I had asked for the largest curls. Godfather refused, again. I was too intimidated to complain.
After almost two hours I was finally done. My hair smelled of chemicals with a mix of hairspray and it was… curly. The fringe was also curled and looked a right mess. The Godfather seemed really pleased with the catastrophe she’d just created, though, so I figured I wouldn’t reveal my personal thoughts.
Upon coming home, I looked in the reflection of the window and freaked out. I wondered how a haircut could still look acceptable in a hairdresser’s mirror and look like road kill in a window reflection. Then I remembered the Force 7 wind on Beaufort scale.
I walked up the stairs and entered my room with pure dismay. My hair looked a mess and I could've put my parents’ money to better use. Like alcohol to drink my sorrows away. I wanted to cut my hair myself again, like I did the last time I went to the hairdresser’s. I didn’t though, because I figured I have no experience with cutting curls.
This morning when I woke up and say myself in the mirror, a flow of optimism rushed through my body. Maybe a shower would help.
And how wrong I was.
One hour later, I’m writing this post. That’s how bad it is.
I have become the personification of road kill. And I think it’s time I bought myself a hair straightener because apparently them car tires don’t straighten enough.

Road kill? Now I wanna see you next to bls morgen... Double road kill... Maar zo erg kan het toch niet zijn? En je hebt kans dat mensen niet eens merken dat het er vreemd uitziet (ook al is het anders), remember mijn haar na MAYMUN vorig jaar. Kirsten dacht dat het bij de kapper was gedaan, even though you guys totally butchered it.
How is it possible? Its even worse than nienies haar! Nienies haar destijds dan hè xD ;)
Aww, you poor thing. Damn them hair dressers. Bekijk het zo: het is tenminste niet zo erg als bij een zekere wiskunde lerares, waar het gewoon... truck-hit-roadkill is, as opposed to your car-spluttered/smushed/mashed/etc. roadkill, wat dus lang niet zo erg is. Ofzo. :p
In short, wat ik er vandaag van gezien heb viel het best mee. :)
Straightening won't help, btw, niet met een perm. If anything it will only make things more frizzy.
Het valt allemaal reuze mee jongens :P Ik overdrijf a hella lot in this blogthing ^^
@Nienke,
We did not totally butcher it! You just messed it up when you starting brushing and washing it. Besides... I remember 5 certain others saying it looked better than it did at first. And I also remember a certain somebody taking weeks before getting it professionally cut, i.e. it couldn't have been that bad. HAHTAKETHATBOOYAH.
@Anonymous,
Och, kom op.. worse than Nienie's haar?! Dat zegt dan toch wel wat over mijn kapperskillz in vergelijking met die van de Godfather.
@Eem,
True, de math teacher weet mij nog te overtreffen. I wonder how she does it.
En we hebben elkaar vandaag niet gezien :P I was at Webster ;-)
Straightening has helped... maar tis alleen voor mn pony, niet voor de rest. Maybe it only gets frizzy if it get wet (rain-__-)?
