My hair

Things do change-unexpectedly
I’d planned to get my hair done by my usual hair dresser back at home
So I took time off work and made the call for an appointment
She’s gone!
I knew she’d eventually go but I never thought it’d be this soon
Anyway my dilemma was now what do I do?
I had to get my hair braided
I needed someone I could trust to do it perfectly
She’s the only one I knew
I need to see someone’s work before they touch my hair
I love my hair
So I make the dreaded search for a hairdresser over the phone
My sister was a great help
She recalled seeing perfect braids and asked who’d done them
It was guys!
I’ve got this thing about male hairdressers
I just hope they’re straight
Honest, that’s the first thing that comes to mind when it’s men and women’s hair
Call it a prejudice, it’s the truth
Anyway I had to have my hair done and I did ask the question
Well, I hinted…….
Needless to say, I was laughed at
It’s not meant to be my issue their sexual orientation, so they said
It has to be coz I see myself as accepting such traits
It’s one of those things I won’t delve into but I say it’s just wrong
So I meet one of the guys and ask if they can do what I want and the charge
To my relief, the four minute conversation says he’s straight
So, I got my hair done by two brothers whom I’m glad to say are 100% straight and know how to braid
It’s one of those things that I find myself in and hope I’ll still be able to control coz I like controlling such things
After all, it’s my hair and my look.
