WHIPPING MY HAIR

Last night I couldn't sleep so I decided to count the hairstyles I've done this year alone. Hope I didn't forget any but I can recall 10. And I'm not talking about the same hair do with the same hair colour and length. I went from the Cassie one-side-cut to the blonde Riri and got bored because everyone was going blonde. Fortunatetly Riri went red and that gave me the courage to change my hair to red too  but got tired of the attention and  decided to be 'normal' with a weave .for the second time in my 20 years of breathing. But you know how intchy weavs are and there's a rumour that Brazillian hair causes lice. Ye. I cut my hair and was an African Princess for a week with a short blonde afro. People liked it but I didnt. So I decided to go for a braid twist which took forever to finish. Problem with it was the time I had to spend styling it . I  removed it and went for a braid corn-rows which look good , fresh and easy to maintain.  Somebody tell me ,is it me or are there women out there who struggle with the perfect hair do and beside I'm turning 20 soon and would have to get a hair-do that will make me look like a  grown up woman .Some of the pictures I still have , they're not the best but they're the best............

EXPENSIVELY CHEAP

Recently I had a hot rather short argument with one of the guys in my class. We were definetly not arguing about the horrible, dissapointing state of politics our country is in. Nor was it about soccer politics. This time it was all about what makes a woman look expensive. This whole conversation initiated when a student who happen to be a wannabe walked in late and the guy was wowed by her looks and said she look expensive. flabbargasted me, I watched with an appraising glance. She looks expensive? Really? What makes her look expensive? Is it the Mr Price jeans and top she's in or is it the fake hair colour and eye lashes? He couldn't answer . Not beacause I got him confused or because I wanted to cast aspersions on his honesty. But because he uttered that phrase haven't thought about it real meaning. I say looking expensive is not determined by the price tag of your clothes but by how you handle yourself and walk in those clothes. we can all wear Jimmy Choo heels topped up with a David Tlale black dress, iced with a LV bag but still look cheap. If you dont feel comfortable in those clothes, you'll look dull, boring and cheap. If they don't suit you, they wont look expensive. So I forgive my dearest, clueless male friend for assuming that that chick looked expensive because of the price tag.
