My mother thought my hair was naturally beautiful, but my classmates didnt agree. They made fun of it, calling my hair “the mop” (拖把).When I got to university, I decided to change my hairstyle. I had my curly (卷曲的) hair straightened (拉直). However, it cost me $700 once every six months to do this. People said I was crazy to spend that much on my hair. But I would do anything to never again see that curly-haired girl in the mirror.But when I had to rent my own apartment, the cost became too high. So I turned to Google. In the end, I found a “curly haired” salon, a place designed for girls with crazy hair. When I arrived there, the stylist, Jacquai, was waiting for me.“Do you really think this will work?” I asked.“No curly hair is hopeless,” she replied. “You just havent found a way to work with it. That’s all.”After the hour was over, Jacquai had completed her task. She had fixed my hair using only her hands. I couldn’t believe it: my hair looked beautiful.Now my world has changed.
