Then, and this
is definitely the worst part, you have to wait three days before washing
it. My face looks drawn and ugly in
stick-straight hair. But after washing
it, my hair is shiny, soft, easily managed, quickly blown out, and never
frizzy. I love the results of this
process. In fact, I used to mimic them in high school by ironing my hair. Stick straight is okay on a 15-year old face.
Since 2008,
I’ve been getting a keratin treatment about every six months, though my last
was in October. I am way overdue.
About a month
ago, I purchase a Groupon for $99, significantly less than the normal $250
cost. I have never heard of the salon
that is offering the Groupon, but a friend of mine has had her hair done there and
was happy with the results. I research
through Yelp, and determine that Julie is the best stylist there.
The place,
Sergio Limpopo, is clean. While the
owner is surly, I very much like Julie.
In fact, I like her so much that
I talk to her through the entire one-hour process, something I rarely do. I much prefer reading. But Julie, who is from the Ukraine, is filled
with interesting stories. And, she is a knowledgeable
and proficient hairdresser.
I decide to
pay the $27 upcharge that allows me to wash my hair after 24 hours (vs.
72). But then Julie tells me that if I
can wait 48 hours before washing it, the results will last longer.
So, here’s my
hair today. I’ll be in hibernation for
the next two days.
