A hair in the head is worth two in the brush.
A stride into a mall or into a ladies store in Cochin,you wouldn’t be surprised to see the number of heads bearing straightened,smoothed hair..sure it shows how far technology has come and we no more have to deal with the frizzy,unmanageable hair..right? First,it was restricted to just the female population doing this..now the men follow suit too! Sure is amazing to see the number of people doing this in Cochin compared to the other cities.hmm..Is it because we malayalees hate our mane? Come to think of it majority of girls tell me that they just want their hair “silky and straight”. Even after knowing that it damages the root of their hair and not to mention the hair fall..(its so bad that people know that you were in a particular place!) Oh and did I mention the enormous cost of the shampoos and conditioners to maintain your hair this way?
The worst of this technology comes through during the period when your original hair starts sprouting out and half your hair remains straight and the roots starts crumpling up. I fail to understand why majority of the girls here refuse to tie or pull back their hair..to be painfully truthful it looks like your hair has gone through a tornado!! And the vicious cycle of putting chemicals has to be forcefully continued because the window period of your hair returning back to normal seems never ending!
So I would just plainly advice to anyone who has been contemplating to making your hair straight or popularly known in Cochin as “broomstick”,”horse tail”..please think twice!!! And Oh, did I mention that I am a victim to this as well!!!
anyways brush up your ettiquttes and style quotient..You may the next to inspire my column! Have fun!
