I knocked her out. I saw her,
Reason, in the corner of my eye waving her hands like crazy. She was trying to
tell me something, but I punched her in the face. She always shows up at the
least opportune times…
There I was in the hair products
aisle, again. Looking for The One. But, I don’t see any new products on
the shelves. How could I have tried them all and still only look like I “just
stepped out of the salon” for the 30 seconds it takes to walk to my car every 8
weeks when I literally step out of the salon? I’m about to give up hope
when something catches my eye…
The entire store went dark,
except for a beam of light that shown down on this bottle. How could I
have been so narrow-minded? The answer was so clear and had been there,
at the end of the aisle, all along…
Occasionally, I amaze me. This
was one of those times. I mean, why had I never considered trying the products
specifically designed for African hair?!? We are all God’s children and Herbal
Oil sounds really healthy. Plus, Africa is a huge continent and the label says,
“Africa’s Best”. Mind blown.
Fast-forward two days. Prince
Charming comes home to find me sitting in the tub crying and wants to know why
our pillows and pillow cases are in the trash. I hate when he asks stupid
questions…
Y’all won’t believe this, but the
reason there is a specfic set of products for African-American hair is because
African-American hair is entirely different than Caucasion hair. Oh. Not a
little different, but a lot different. Come to find out, my straight, blonde
(can you believe it?!?) coiffe is not an ideal candidate for African oil.
Well, I haven’t been to Texas
yet, but the Horchow catalog is headquartered in Dallas. If that doesn’t give a
state “credibility”, than I don’t know what does! And, I love the Texan
mentallity of go big or go home. So, if this hair oil says to leave in for 5-10
minutes and rinse thoroughly, I cannot wait to see how gorgeous my hair will be
if I leave-in the oil overnight!
The bottle says, “sealed for your
protection”. Well, to that I say, “HOW DO YOU FIGURE?”! I had no problem
getting into to this stuff.
Now, if you are in need of a
group costume for you and your girlfriends, I have a wonderful idea for you!

The Robert Palmer girls! You get
the outfits, and I’ll fix everyone’s hair. The only glitch is UN-doing your
hair…
This dark slick style is awesome
for Halloween but not so much for work. I also highly recomended that your hair
be long enough to avoid looking like you are trying to “tune in, Tokyo”. One
day at work with my edgy (a-hem) look was one day too many. I am starting to
panic.
After trying every product I own
in the bathroom to remove Africa’s Best, I broadened my search to the kitchen.
I think I was trying to comb baking soda through my hair when Prince Charming
found me crying in the tub.

I bet that’s exactly what Robert
Palmer pictured when he belted out “simply irresistible”!
