With my hair straight and smooth, I was no longer the¨ mop"．

　　However, there was extreme damage done to my wallet． To keep up the straightening cost

　　$ 700 every six months, and that was considered cheap．While some people thought I was crazy, I was willing to do anything to never again feel like that anxious, curly-headed girl in Grade 7．But when I moved out． of my parents" house 'at age 26 and rented an apartment, the upkeep of my new image became too costly．

　　I couldn't hide from my inner Medusa any longer．It was time to hug her and let her fly．Seeking a choice, I turned to the Internet, Google．After hours of searching, I hit upon a“ curly haired"

　　salon, a place designed for girls like me．I doubted these so-called “Curl Ambassadors" could do anything

　　without using machine of some sort, and though I bought the service called the “Curly-Doo,"

　　I suspected I'd have the same unruly mop at the end of the appointment．

　　I dragged my feet so hard getting there that I arrived 45 minutes late． I secretly hoped they would turn me away．Instead, my stylist simply said :‘‘You are very late． Let me see your hair" At． that moment, my world and beliefs about myself were turned upside down along with my hair． As my head was in a basin full of freezing-cold water, then covered with a jelly-like jam, I wondered what I had got myself into．
