Lifestyles of the poor and nameless

After much internal debate and encouragement from Metamorphosis, I decided to get my hair twisted. I've seen a bunch of people with the twists and they look really nice. I'm pretty conservative when it comes to hair, and change in general, so this was a radical move for me. Especially since I have to keep the style for at least a month.

So I got it done. It took about 3 hours (not bad at all). When I left, I was quite pleased with the results, even though my scalp was in pain from having my hair pulled so tight. My hair had bounce and flow and I was happy.

I get home and show my mom my new coif. Her first words: "it makes your face look fat". Gee, thanks mom. I became irreparably paranoid after that. After ogling myself in the mirror, I am convinced that my face does indeed look fat with this hairstyle. My relatively big forehead is not flattered by this style either. My final analysis: it's definitely a cute style, but not cute on me. You know when you're walking down the street and you see a person wearing a cute outfit that is so tight it looks painful? You think to yourself: Hmm..cute outfit, wrong person. That's how I feel in this hairstyle.

But, at least I broke out of my conservative nature long enough to try something different, and I'm proud of that.

I've always wanted to put some highlights in my hair, but I never know what color to pick because my hair is jet black. Maybe when I take these twists out, I will attempt the color. Hmmmm.
