HAIR DISASTER AVERTED!
Right…… so the constant abuse of sun, sea, sand, wet, dry, straightening has taken a major toll on the old hair…..Before Christmas it was ok….we were able to wait the 8 to 10 weeks to get a mop chop in the UK, but, given that we had hair cuts at Christmas it was now approaching 13 and a half weeks without a cut! and another 6 weeks out here, it was now getting desperate….but with all the recommended places only open during the day we decided to try the beauty salon downstairs in the apartments. (……….well they were good at waxing).
Fully kitted hair salon no need to book, Straight in the chair…….
Not quite sure when the worry set in…I think it may have been when CJD asked whether she was going to cut it wet…….the lady looked at us, and said “you want a cut and blow dry right” YEAH…..she looked confused….you want it washing too????
Well now ………. how do you blow dry something that isn’t wet?????????
I found it really hard to sit in the chair next to CJD, every time we caught each others eye we started laughing!
She just had the ends trimmed off, but I wanted some length removing…and layers put back in….something that I worryingly found hard to communicate…I watched avidly as she started snipping….i was briefly panicked when I saw what looked to be kitchen scissors in her hands….phew, they were proper hair dressing scissors after all!
OMG they were rough! I have never had my hair combed so much during a hair session,. but it didn’t stop at that……It felt like I was losing my scalp and ears! Hahahahah
Everytime I shot a look in CJD direction her head was being contorted backwards as her rough lady looked for all the ends that needed trimming.
I went with the flow….i knew what the technique of layering looked like, and she seemed to have a good grip of that…..(all those years watching my mum…..i should have forced her to bring her scissors to cut my hair when she visited!). CJD was a little more concerned about my hair as she said…..”its looking short Sam’…………
Can’t be any shorter than the cut that I had near the end of Uni…..
Well, we had another option….did we want it drying….erm…..yeah!
With a brush or just rough……..Hmmmmmm, BRUSH….
GOD! One hour later, CJD in Curlers and me having my neck almost burnt off and a metal 360 brush used I finally left the salon……the cut was fine, but the drying style was the funniest thing I ever saw……
Trying not to pee myself I went to get chips for CJD and left her in the chair…….i don’t think they have much call for doing short styles……most ladies have long black hair and only have the ends trimmed! OMG got back to the flat and under instruction I was not allowed to play with it……Kath came to the flat and we had a laugh about it…Some 30mins later CDJ turned up…..i have never seen such big bouncy hair in my life……
All I needed was to get the GHDs on it and I was happy…..short (maybe a little shorter than I intended) scruffy manageable hair…like the first time I had it cut like this back home…..we decided in the morning that CJDs hair was Jennifer Anniston’s cut only 5 years out of date!!!
Still, 6 weeks left and we can go to our regular haunts!
Note the first photo, with attitude! WTF had we done…..it took a few attempts to take it as we couldn’t stop laughing…. Cant get over the back.....WHY oh WHY would you blow dry a parting at the back!!! hahahahahahahaha
And ALL SMILES in the morning, a wash and various GHD products just to get it on track!........
