Goldie-Looks?


I have always dreamt of having a curly hair..just like the one Goldilocks have. So when I had enough courage to ask my mom to have my hair perm-ed when I was in Grade 1.. I did not mind going through that 'smell ' and sitting in the parlor for almost four hours because I really wanted to look like Goldilocks. And when I saw the results..I screamed - - - with devastation!

Yes you heard me right, not with excitement or happiness that my dream came true! They curled it...Aeta-style and not Goldilocks-style. I cried…and thanked my mom. She thought I was crying with joy, but I did not want to make her feel bad because my little wish caused her a lot of money. (…and it was not part of the budget.) So I kept my true feelings to myself and carried what I thought was my “crowning-glory”- - - that 'kinky' hair for the next two horrifying months…And as if my mind can control the dead hair-follicles in my head (that's your hair in scientific terms!)…they straightened it-self. But there was an after shock of my pure-vanity...my hair strands must have been poisoned, they were thinner and my hair color went to dark brown from midnight black.. And stayed that way until now..**sniff**

Now that I know better... I won't go to the parlor to have my permanent perm with the liquid-thing-that-smells-like-medicine; even if they say that the hair stylist studied in London or the hair expert of Asia..I’ll just go to the parlor or salon to have my one-day Goldilocks-curly-hair done for special events... **winks** But the lesson is, I like my hair as it is, just as God made it for me… After all I noticed that there are ‘more’ out there who actually have their hair "straighten-ed" to have that long-smooth-as-silk-look as that of Pocahontas **lolz**
