New Roomie and Hair Talk
My new roomie:
-is French and an exchange student here
-speaks English pretty well (score!)
-seems really nice
-has a hair straightener that she lets me use!!
Ok, the whole hair straightener thing might seem insignificant and shallow to the people who are reading this and don't know the wonder of a hair straightener, but I know some of you are feeling me on this one.
Yesterday I straightened my hair for the 3rd time in the last 5.5 months. It somehow doesn't look as good as it used to. I blame this on these main factors:
-I have lost hair since coming to the Czech Republic so it's thinner (damn the hard water!)
-I haven't had a real haircut since August and twice since then I have taken it upon myself to cut my own hair because for some unfathomable reason I convinced myself that I was suddenly endowed with abilities I have always lacked such as 'the ability to cut straight', 'the ability to layer', and 'the ability to multi-task and hold the comb in one hand, the scissors in the other and look in the mirror all at the same time'. Oh, and for a moment there I thought I had some hand-eye coordination. LIES!
Anyway, I hang out with too many guys here so I don't get to do stuff like get into in-depth discussions about my hair. Plus, most people here have very easy to manage hair so they don't understand. (Spoonaka- I know, I have GREAT HAIR). It's kind of weird how some girls (ahem...me included) can spend so much time having the same conversation about hair, but just on different days. I remember in first year business I was talking to a girl in my class (who usually had curly hair but once in a while straightened it) about her straightener and how straight her hair was that day when my friend (male) just couldn't take it anymore and said, "You know what kind of straightener she has! It's a [insert model here], it takes her [this amount of time to straighten her hair]. She likes her hair better straight than curly but it just takes too much time to do! They're always the same questions and always the same answers!!".
Some people just don't know how to make conversation. Maybe that's why we aren't friends anymore. I'm capable of intelligent conversation, but sometimes you need to talk about stupid shit too.

Hi :) It's Jana - we met at Seč (I was there with two Canadian guys) but it doesn't really matter... about the hair problem - I had the same after I came from Tajikistan and my friend came from India ... buy Panthenol capsules in pharmacy. It helped me in one week. (I use those from Dr.Muller Pharma in white pack with orange letters.)
