A very girlish post!!
Author: crasiezt
To look beautiful (apart from the natural beauty shit) you need to shell out a lot of dough. Sure, there are cheaper versions too, but the result may not be too good, or even disastrous for that matter. But then again, money doesn’t guarantee good looks either!!
I’ve always had wavy hair. The shorter I wear it, the wavier it looks. Straight hair struck me as boring. Wavy suited me loads too. But one day, on a whim, I got my hair straightened (temporarily). It looked wow! And from that day on I got restless. The devil took over my little brain saying “get a permanent job done”. With the straightening bug in my blood I had no choice but to give in to the temptation. I sold my soul to the devil, bowed down to him, and headed to the salon.
A friend suggested “Spratt”. So I landed there. It’s a unisex place, pretty big and sprawling. Most of the beauticians were Chinky (no offence meant. They are the best in the business). One of them came up to me, and I told her what I wanted done. A conversation ensued; she gave me details about the procedure, and some of its after effects. Convinced that my hair will look awesome at the end of the ordeal I agreed to go ahead.
That’s when the gruelling process started. My hair was subjected to so much torture- several washes, conditioning, tons of chemicals, hot ironing (involves pressing sections of hair between 2 electrically heated rods), blow-drying, and all that jazz. The worst was the stink (practically took my breath away). And to top it all, the ironing!! When a temporary job is done it’s alright. But ironing is done with much more force and fervour for a permanent look. My hair was screaming in pain each time it was tugged at, and there were several such screams, which alas only I could hear.
I sat in that chair as 4-5 people worked on my hair at the same time (trust me you don’t feel special or pampered), growing more and more irritated with every passing second (Sid can vouch for that!).
Finally, after about 4 hours it all came to an end, and there emerged a gorgeous babe! Praising myself at this juncture might not be right, but my hair really did look rather stunning:D
Beauty comes at a price...but it’s not just money that you spend. It’s a mental and physical investment as well. An investment that seems justifiable only if you get compliments: not just from people you know, but appreciative glances/stares from strangers:D A cute guy crashing his car into another just because he was so smitten by your looks...kind of makes your day doesn’t it? LOL!!

do i look good? m i looking smarter? well i should'nt be the one to praise myself (thou i keep doing this ;)) .. bt yup, m looking better.....
well, money plays an imp role no doubt.. m sure ur just looking stunning and amazingly pretty and hot as usual...

Hey Rohit..I dunno if change makes people look better..different yes, not necessarily good. But if you get both, well..yipppeeee!!
"A cute guy crashing his car into another just because he was so smitten by your looks"

totally agree with ur views bout hw gud can beauty make u feel but i dnt think therez a more beautiful woman than the one who seems to b carefree n yet all her curls fall just at d right places!!
straight hair shout for attention n tells ppl hw much u'd do to get noticed!!
it sure can b jus fo personal happiness too...n m sure ud b lookin gr8! :)
nice blog!
Gonecase: Hehehe
Gunj: You bet am looking great, but honestly I miss my messy wavy unruly hair..No matter what, my hair looks so neat now..and am not sure if I like that too much!
Something tells me you've got curly hair that does fall at just the right places:-)
Somehow I think my hair isn't screaming for attention..it's looking wow, but no begging involved:P
Am glad you liked the blog..keep visiting, commenting, and yes, welcome to my page:-)

Sweekar: Considering that I spent an entire fortune on my hair, and the fact that I'm superly broke now, I think you should get me that lunch:P
The nature of a person's hair is independent of his/her sex..There are guys who look hot with straight hair, and there are some that look as gay as gay can be:D
Do you google talk?

Hey Galaxy babe! Well yeah I did have wavy hair, and it's bloody straight now! Stays for like 6-7 months then you get a touch up and stuff..
You bet the cars crash all around:D
Saw your page..you've written loads in no time must say! Thanks for tagging me..Will take it up for sure:-)
Keep Visiting!!
well m new here..sm1 suggested me abt bloggin n i find it really intresting....btw u ryt really well...tc:)
Thanks for the compliment girl! And welcome to this world:-)
u knida galzz should be banned on roads without being into cars with black mirrors...all this for noble cause.....reducing accidednt on roads..
inspite of ironing, another option is of cream straighting....but thazz remain for 30 to 45 days not like 6/7 months in cases of ironing....but it doesnt pain so no more mental and physical investment just financial.
Thanks for dropping by Vikas:-)
What's done is done..alas!am stuck with beautiful hair:P
why is this post titled "A very girlish post"???
comeon even men like to look handsome...ok we dont do all these things (ok most of us dont) but still...
Yupp guys wanna enhance their looks too..but most of them would have no inkling of the procedure I've described in my post..Hell I didn't know it was so terrible!!
did that crashing thing really happen..?? doubtful but certainly possible...
neways.. girly but still a nice read..
RO: Well not exactly..no one has ever crashed his car into another's, but yes guys have CRASHED into road dividers and fallen off their bikes:D
And some other random incidents like that too..I FEEL GOOD:D
