De-stressing

l love washing my hair in my favourite hair saloon. After a stressful day at school, there's nothing like letting your hair down and being given a good scrub or 'scratch'. I know we should not scratch the hair but, on a hot day, the dirty itchy scalp really needs a good scrub. And sometimes there's soft music (especially in professional hair saloons) in the background. Over at my saloon, there's just a small radio blaring away. If you are lucky like me, the saloon girl knows where to 'scratch' and how hard. And she would then proceed to give you a back rub or shoulder and neck massage...ahhhhh, you can feel all the tension slowly fading away. Of course, it should also be accompanied by a pleasant conversation for washing one's hair is so personal. Your hairdresser knows how to start small talk before proceeding to some other juicy gossips if you are close enough to her. Sometimes, when you are being pampered like that, you also tend to divulge some juicy information as well. Of course, there are also hairdressers like mine, who would always try to sell me something in the process...and strangely, i always am almost persuaded or i would always leave the saloon buying something. Yet i never feel cheated, as the whole process is really worth the RM8-10.
