I hate to 'do' my hair. I know some girls enjoy going to the
saloon but I hate sitting in that seat for hours. For a long time I
suffered the $10 10 minute haircut and more often than not, come
out looking a bit lopsided. Once in a long while, I will go do the
highlights or rebond or watever.. but come out thinking I won't do
this for at least a year after spending hours in the saloon.
So today I finally went to 'do' my hair.. thinking that I wish to
highlight it. I got wavy natural curl hair, not VERY curl, just
wavy.... and i tell u.. its.. such a pain...
Me: I want haircut and highlight
Hairdresser: U dont want to rebond ha?
Me: No I dont want to rebond.
H: Your hair natural curl should rebond. Easier to tidy
Me: No. I dont want to rebond.
H: Ur hair sticks out everywhere 'qiao lai qiao qu' Rebond easier
for you.
Me: I rebonded twice liao. I dont wish to rebond.
H: Ya.. just telling you, rebond is better. So how you want to
cut?
Me: uhh just cut.. err normal. Layer loh.. err.. 'siew bao' thin it
a bit.
H: Ur hair dont rebond the more thin I make it.. worse it will
qiao.
Me: MM.. then don't siew bao so much
H: Ya.. cos u never rebond that is why have tendency to qiao.
Me: MmmM.
H: Dont cut too many layers also... cos will make it 'qiao'
Me: Okay.. you 'kan zhe pan'
-trim trim. trim trim.-
H: so what colour you want?
me: -shows magazine- this one
H: this one must bleach u know
me: okay.
H: This type of colour very light leh. Bleach one.
me: ya.. okay. go ahead.
H: This girl looks nice cos she got base colour. You dnt have. This
colour won't look nice on you.
Me: ok.. fine.. why dont u recommend me another colour??
H: This one nice.
Me: i dont want red base.
H: This one loh. Or you want this one.. need to bleach u
know?
Me: ok.. this one is fine.
h: or you want to bleach??
Me: ... no.. this one is fine.
H: cos must ask ma.. whether you want to bleach, in case u dont
want.
Me: ok.. that colour is fine.
H: you want your highlights to be finer or streaks?
me: Streaks is good.
H: streaks ah... I make streaks inside and fine highlights outside
more nice okay?
me: okay.
H: ur fringe want highlight or not
me: (... NB.. ) yeah.
After agonising long. I realise she highlight one big fat streak on
my fringe. Rest of my hair a little bit of streaks but mostly fine
highlights.
Pain. ful.
