Experiment

A few things:
1. This blog is on its last leg, and will be replaced shortly by one that chronicles my adventures in europe (whose name and address I will divulge when I make it).

2. I am conducting a hair experiment. I have a head of hair that has often been compared to a lion's mane, mop, and bird's nest, among many other things. Personally, I think these descriptions represent the unruliness well, but do not give any insight as to how curly and thick it is. I can't think of anything that it could be compared to, really. It's pretty unreal.

So, after a lifetime of looking for a way to straighten it without spending any real amount of time doing so, I was sent an e-mail from my brother-in-law (who has been the witness of many whine-fests). His boss has crazy hair, not unlike mine, and came in with straight, beautiful healthy-looking hair. Apparently, she got a Brazilian Blow-Out, and the results are amazing.

After much thought and conversations with objective parties (I'm prone to try anything, so I need consultation when this kind of information presents itself), I have made an appointment for friday to get this thing done. I've been reading reviews and getting pumped up about it for a week, now, and can hardly contain myself.

Everyone whines about how you can't shower for 3 days after getting it done, but they're being pussies. I've definitely gone longer without even thinking about it. Championnn

Anyway, I'll report back about how it goes. I can't imagine it can get any worse, so chances are it will be full of exclamation points and words like "amazing" and "hassle-free" and "not a lion's mane".
