Although there are several notable differences between traditional salons I usually frequent and Capella, one thing remained consistent – I was there all day. I will say this though, usually when I get my hair done I don’t straighten it so once the cut, wash and treatment are done I usually leave with my hair unstyled and sopping wet to save time. But that wasn’t an option today, Shai insisted on styling my hair although I insisted it was pointless since I had nowhere to go afterwards. But I am glad his persistence won over mine because I learned a lot of new techniques that made a subtle difference; namely how/ when to apply product and best ways to dry the hair. I also was introduced to gel, while it really isn’t my styling go-to I did like the look and have begun to sparingly experiment with different gels. Capella, rides for Deva Curl products which I have tried before but admittedly never felt gave me noticeable results. Presently I’ve been using CURLS and Olive Oil products.
I actually left my extensions behind that day because we didn’t have time to color them that afternoon. A couple weeks later when I picked them up, my sensual style was ready to be completed. It was everything I wanted and more, I liked the color so much that I think I may consider taking my girl Shameless Maya up on her offer to add some more – since she of course has a color kit.
I LOVED the frizz and bigness, something I thought would make me feel less mature. As Shai said frizz and fluffiness gives off the perception you’ve been touching your hair and maybe even rolling around a bit ;”>. The soft hints of color brought out the light in my eyes while deepening the brown of my skin. The thicker bangs also helped to bring more attention to my eyes and frame my natural face shape a little more.
The verdict? Your girl is getting her sensual self on and best of all? I am only just getting started.
“Sensuality disappears when we stop exploring curiously and fall into the trap of playing out roles. We start to see ourselves through the world’s eyes and believe that is all we can be.”
