This weekend I took out my braids, because, you know, the hair had grown to the point where it was starting to look like an Afro with braids on top. With the help of

The next morning, my hair was horrendously matted. Thick chunks of clumped hair all over. Naturally, I panicked a little. I've been growing this out for about a full year now. I'd hate to have to shave it all off and start over.
I called my stylist (yes, I'm gay, shut up) but she wasn't home, so I called the salon she used to work for (called Nefertiti...how stereotypically African-American can you get?). The woman there said she didn't know, but she'd get someone to give me a call.
I went over there. She took one look at it and said, "You know you're going to have to cut that off, right?"
So...it looks like I'm back to being bald for now. Tonight, with the help of yet more wine and my trusty clippers, I'll shave the hair off and go over it with a razor. Then, I'll start all over again. Maybe by next summer, I'll have it braided before moving (hope hope).
*raises a glass* Here's to everyone with good hair. I hope you appreciate it, lucky bastards. :)
