The hair dresser was surprised that I wanted to get rid of my curls as she thought they were really nice and was surprised at how curly they were. I don't get it, condisering she has been in these for years, this hair of mine should not be a surprise as I have seen people with much more curlier hair than mine! She was not the first to tell me this. Hmm..strange. I always get this reaction whenever I go for haircuts. (I hardly stay with the same stylist because I am always cutting my hair out of impulse and so land at the nearest salon I am at, no different for this though I made sure this time, it was a place that was reputable.) The straightening cream longer than expected to set in because yes, my hair was too curly for it to work on and this plus all the others added made it a 5 hour long butt-aching experience. But it was all worth it. =)

Finally. I have never changed my hair style except for its length because of my curls and I won't say that I do not miss them, I am just feeling a little relieved without them. They always had a mood of their own. They would be the envy of many one day and a boon to me in another, it was not easy maintaining them. they had a diva-like personality and a tantrum could be thrown anytime leaving me looking like Albert Eienstine's distant relative for the day. I cannot afford having such days now that I am working. The students would run at the sight of a teacher looking like that!

Anyway, am not putting up any pictures just yet because my hair is still settling and thus is looking flat so maybe another time. Oh wait! I did not rebond my hair per se just did a soft rebond so that I could get that wispy look I have always wanted since years ago but never had the guts to do so.

Surprisingly, my grandfather, a traditionalist, likes it, so now I am left with my father. Yup, he has not seen it cause he was already sleeping when I got back home at 8pm. (He was sick) so am keeping my fingers crossed. =) But oops! too late! Nothing can be done now so I have to just maintain my cool and let one ear in and the other out.

At least my head feels cooler and lighter now. I can finally feel air passing through when I walk and I never knew how haggard I looked with the weight of my curls pulling down all these while till I saw my new self in the reflection. I looked so alive and awake AND YOUNGER. =)

If you don't like something change it; if you can't change it, change the way you think about it.
