Most of us have encountered the fabulous "new car smell". Normally it's the expensive smell which fades all too fast when you buy a new car.
Yesterday was hair appointment number three. The salon was very busy due to all the forthcoming New Years Eve parties so I encountered a full staff . Most of whom have not seen me. I have not had time to acclimate them to a
transgender woman. The two owners have a very successful charity drag act. Perhaps the
drag queen tag is following me with a few of the workers. Overall, I encountered the usual range of reactions from nothing to little smiles to curiosity. No matter, the clientele didn't seem to notice me at all.
I decided to go a shade darker this time which turned out to be a good decision I think My stylist worked her magic a little longer this time (especially with the shampoo) because I
never have felt my hair feel so silky and nice. Then of course there
is the "new hair smell"!
Unfortunately I can enjoy the smell only for a day or two. Now I'm hoping I have learned enough about my hair to manage it better for our New Year parties.
Certainly, during my next appointment I'm going to have to ask my stylist if she will bottle that smell!.
