A makeover

Today, i woke up at 8:45 in the morning, I got a hair straightening appointment at Profile beauty parlour in Manipal. Afterwards, i had breakfast and we got ready at 9:30 and we reached Manipal by 10:30. Then later the appointment has begun. It began with washing my hair in water then followed by a hair straightening cream for 45 minutes. Afterwards they washed my hair in water and they used 2 hair dryers to dry my hair just before the straightening begins, then it is followed by the straightening and it was extremely hot and it was burning like anything. After the straightening was over, they washed my hair again and a straightening cream was applied again for 20 minutes. After 20 minutes, the hair cream was set and they washed my hair and the hair dryer was used again and it was over. Then later, we had lunch at China Valley in which we had chicken tikka maslala, paneer manchuri and naan followed by vanilla and chocolate ice creams only for dad and me. Afterwards we went to buy some stuff at a nearby shop and we came back home afterwards.

The previous time I was in Profile beauty parlour was back in June 8 2008, when we are getting ready for a relative's engagement ceremony and the previous time I had my straightening done was back in July 2011, one day after the Hogenakkal picnic. I first had my hair straightening when I was 17 years old, then the second time I had my hair straightening was during Shummi's enngagement back in 2008. We occasionally straighten our hair and buy new clothes especially during weddings, house warming ceremonies, engagement parties, photo sessions and even the 2 Eids (Eid-ul-Fitr and Eid-ul-Adha). But I suffered a hairfall because of the chemicals used in the straightening creams and then i discontinued using the shampoos (i.e., L'oreal shampoos).
   
We go to varoius beauty parlours mostly for threading our eyebrows and for removing blackheads, mostly at our nearby beauty parlour owned by a lady named Sulakshana. But I occassionally do clean ups on special occassions. But we do most of the facials like multani mitti, cucumber juice, oatna and various fruit facials. But remember, beauty is indeed skin deep.
