If any girl says that she doesn’t care about how she looks, either she’s either lying
or is some kind of saint. In a society where too much importance has been attached
to outward appearance, girls just can’t be too careful about their looks.
Girls can hardly enjoy a delicious dessert or marvelous meal without any guilt.
In order to keep fit, they drip with sweat in the gym and force themselves to go on
tasteless diets. They go through complicated skin-care rituals since they hope that
those efforts could magically keep them young.
To dress for an important date, girls search through fashion magazines and spend
a fortune on any items that will boost our appearance. The only question is how far
they would like to go to look good?
Shallow or not shallow, I also try hard to look good.
Summer vocation is coming, and it is time for some changes.
My hair looked healthy but it didn’t have any body, so last week I went to a hair salon
and had my hair cut. To be honest, I don’t have much of a fashion sense and have no
idea what’s in or what’s out. Therefore, I put it entirely in the hands of a
professional-> my hair stylist. I told him that all I wanted is manageable hair with
a natural look.
Four long, tired, hours later, I opened my eyes and stared at my reflection in a mirror.
My dull, moussed hair was a big surprised. This was far from something I would call
natural, my hair was so curly I looked like a baby lion. And I really worried about
whether or not it could be easily maintained. My hair feels so much heavier, and I
can’t stop touching my ends which were no longer straight. All it would take is maybe
a slight change of the weather and to give me serious frizz problems!
Then, my hair stylist proudly asked me, “Do you like it?”.
For a moment, I was very nearly shocked in the seat as there was so much hair on the
floor that it looked like there was a dead animal there.
However I took a realistic attitude, it was almost 9:00pm and my stylist really worked
overtime for this. All I could manage to say was “Thank you.”
Perhaps I looked so crestfallen that even my friends didn’t tease me about my new hair.
“It’s not that bad, it gave you a fresh look!,” one of them said.
It may take some time.
I’m still not used to the new look especially the look from the front.
Oh, god, I wish I could turn back the clock…
