Today, i made good progress!!! I cut my hair to welcome the start of impending exams! I brought a newspaper clipping to the hair salon...but its actually not real hair salon...its inside a residential house. I sat down on the chair and showed her the design i wanted and further request her to make my hair look natural as if wind has blown my hair kind of styling. She promise to teach me how to style my hair!!!By the way, her name is ilin. She told me that this hair style is very short and ask me whether i really want to cut.. I laughed and replied," i have cut short hair my whole life. This hair is still ok." She snip and cut with her array of instruments for i think 30 to 40 minutes, occasionally chatting about my mom and her preference of keeping her hair style for so many years. Ilin had to slowly integrate my mom's hair style to be more fashionable, and true enough, it has improve since. In the midst of cutting, she recommended to have my hair highlighted to chestnut and look more obvious when i style my hair!! And even offered to be FOC!! I was thrilled and contemplated whether to as number 1, mom factor, she look at highlighted hair and she will screamed! Number 2, is school factor....Aiyah, before long, i said,"ok, but hope is not that obvious." She replied,"i can help u do till it blends with ur hair and give 2 tones." Before process starts, my mom came and took a look. She commented it looks nice and went out to take a seat, waiting for her turn. Ilin and myself have to talk quite softly but when ilin said about colour, my mom came in and asked, what colour?" We were both stunned and couldn't react so fast, but ilin was quick witted and quickly said she still need some more time to touch up my hair. My mom took another look and went out of the room. We both then converse in mandarin about the colour and i laughed uncontrollably at the way we had do things in secrecy. But there is a sense of heart pounding and heart stopping moments that u can't get very much in ur daily boring life. She sweep up all my black hair so my mom will not know the diff and quickly mixed the colour and applied onto my hair, combing every corner .Now my head looks like lots of gel, when ilin recieve a phone call from her hp. And my mom surprisely came in again during her conversation. Ilin quickly explained that its not colour but a special gel that has a brown colour and start "styling" my hair. My mom looked on it with interest. When the drama is over, ilin washed my hair and dried with the hair dryer. Preparing to really style my hair with mousse and gel. She showed me how to run my fingers through my hair with mousse and touched up with gel on the sides and the back. I was smiling and grinning at the results. My hair is short like Sun Yanzi but too bad my face isn't, plus a havoc kind of look..hehe...so unlike of me. I just look totally different person altogether. I like my new look, just can't wait to see the reactions of people this friday. And hopefully i will not get chased out of exam hall.........zzzzz
