Hair-raising…..
So I went to the mall today to see if I could find any cute hair combs. They’re all so blingy….i guess that’s the point. Anyhow, i saw one that had a mix of pearls and crystals, so it was less blingy..it was long, and it curved upwards at the ends away from the comb. I thought that was weird cuz usually it curves downwards so that it fits against the bun or hairstyle.
Anyhow, the asian lady manning the cart tells me, “ok i help you try it on”. So I said fine, since i couldn’t figure out how it worked (because i kept thinking it was supposed to curve down to fit the hairstyle”. So she proceeds to tell her co-worker to give her a rubber band….like a regular, brown rubber band. i HATE those…they ALWAYS get stuck in my hair. So before i can say anything, she grabs my hair and starts wrapping the rubber band around. I was like, okay, if I have to cut off my hair because that thing gets stuck, i will not be happy.
So then she splits the hair about the rubber band in two and starts stuffing the actual ponytail in the hole (think topsy tail…or whatever that thing was called). It didn’t work the first time…”wow, your hair so slippery”…then she just RIPS that rubber band out…along with my actual hair. And does it again, this time wrapping the rubber band even MORE times around. So basically, after all that ponytail stuffing, my hair formed this U-shaped thing. Which i guess fit the comb. But it looked weird….
So i try to start dismantling my updo. And then she goes, “wait!!! you can add more” And starts attaching those mini-clips like all over my head. (this is in the middle of the mall). I was like oh ok…very nice…thanks…and i start ripping all those suckers off my head with a quickness.
Then she asks, “oh, you vietnamese?” I was like…uh no….Taiwanese. And she goes, OH…from Thailand. I didn’t even bother. I just thanked her and left.
I’m still on the hunt for an affordable vintage looking hair comb…….Yach recommended Westchester Mall…..I may have to check that out….wherever that is.
