My First Hindustani Haircut
Once upon a time, I got my hair cut in Thailand. The result was something choppy, unmanageable, and so hideous I could only compare it to a mullet. As a result I've always been a little hesitant to have my thin, tangly, blond hair handled by those trained to deal with thick, luscious, black hair. Indian women definitely have sundar bal (beautiful hair), so I know there are nice hair salons around somewhere, but I just wondered what they would do with me. My hair was beginning to look pretty bad though and I thought it might be financially responsible to get my hair cut here where it would cost the equivalent of $6 instead of waiting to go back to the US and paying $50. So today I took the plunge. What do you think? Success?

ReplyDeleteI love the hair. But what did they do to your eyebrows!
ReplyDeleteLooks good. Way better than the Thai haircut. I just watched a documentary called Good Hair by Chris Rock about the black hair industry.... did you know that black American women pay thousands of dollars for weaves, the best of which are made of Indian hair?
ReplyDeleteLookin' good.
