NO seriously!!

Ok so I haven't been making that many entries because to be quite honest. I was starting to bore myself. I mean how many ways can you write about your hair. it seems so vain to always be talkin about it. But THIS ISH THIS WEEKEND HAD TO BE DOCUMENTED...

So over the past few months things have been pretty ok. I've basically been braiding. I've had twist, cornrows and the latest was a fab little Mohawk and then the boredom set in. I couldn't think of another braided style. so I thought to myself. why not just do it!

On Friday, I called a shop that I had gone into for a consultation and told them. "I want to make an appointment with a stylist who does natural hair" to my surprise they told me I could come in on Saturday at 1pm. My mind raced with excitement. OMG i'm gonna do it.... so three hours later I've taken out all the braids and my hair looks the usual hot-mess combo of perm + natural. BUT this time it was different because I knew in just a few short hours I would have a new do!...

fast forward to sat. at 1:15, I sit and chat with the stylist. instinctively she seemed a little green to me. but I figured what can I do it's the card that was dealt to me and she seemed nice enough. and once I found out she was trini that kept us talking through out the long a$$ four hour process it took her to twist my hair 'natural-permed-ends-hair'

So she spins the chair around and says. OK! and I look at her like she's MAD + CRAZY. my hair looked a HOT MESS it didn't look as if I went to the hairdresser. it didn't even look as if I did it myself!!! it's completely undesirable, (and if I wasn't so damn vain, i would post a pic. lol!!!!

So she reassures me that the permed ends will curl and that I could pin them when I get home. and miraculous the next morning i'm supposed to 'twist-out' the twist and vwala I'm supposed to have a cute little textured fro. UHHHH NOT!!!!! the roots looked good but the ends where a greasy straight mess.

So now's decision time. Do I NOT go to my girlfriends babies christening? or do I work it out. so I worked it out. I twisted it back and pined it up, all attempts to camouflage the strait ends. and it was workable. but I had to rock a cute outfit, cute earrings and make-up to pull off my 'eccentric' look.

I went fairly unnoticed. none of my friends asked what the hell happened to your hair. But I bet a few where secretly thinking hmmmm. But as the day progressed I started to get more and more pissed. I had paid $130 of my hard earned cash for my hair to look a smokey hot mess! so I called...

I called to shop and demanded that my hair be redone. explained that it was totally unacceptable and that although the stylist was nice. she didn't have a clue when it came to natural hair. She stated that my stylist said that I didn't want to cut my hair.... and that's when I got heated!. cause yes. I'm totally nervous about this whole natural thing, yes. I don't want to look like a dude, and yes.i do want length. BUT UH, YOU'RE A HAIRDRESSER.... AND I'M PAYING YOU FOR YOUR EXPERTISE. and YOU should have told me it couldn't work.

If I was getting a perm and told you i wanted to bleach out my hair and turn it blue the same day, I'm SO sure you would tell me no. so why didn't you tell me that you have to cut off all that damn perm or go home? What's the point of 'keeping' hair if you can't do ish with it to make it look good?!?!

So long story shorter... they have agreed to redo my hair. BUT I don't know yet if I'm getting the same stylist. Seriously if they try and give me her again. I'm going to have to: (a) politely ask for another stylist, (b) ask for my money back or (c) just sue them. LOL

So tomorrow is D day. I'm preparing myself mentally to walk out of the shop with a two inch kinky fro!
