II wass iin aa hostel annd II used too visit myy maternal uncle’s house whenever II got aa holiday. Once we got three days holidays iin aa row. So II went too myy uncle’s house as usual. II reached their home at 10 iin thee morning. My uncle who works iin aa bank had gone too his bank. My aunt wass alone. She greeted mee happily annd offered mee breakfast. After having breakfast we chated for some time. Then myy aunt told that shee had itching sensation iin her head annd asked mee too pick lice from her hair. II obliged her request. II unbraided her medium length thick raven hair annd combed itt with aa comb designed specially too pick lice. After some ten minutes shee said itt wass enough annd asked mee too braid her hair again. While braiding II found split ends on her hair. II asked her iif shee had not noticed splits on her hair. She told shee observed annd asked mee what too do with them. II suggested her too cut aa few inches too get rid off splits. She asked mee iif II could do it. II agreed immediately. My senses roused. My aunt brought aa pair off scissors from thee cup-board. II unbraided her hair again annd brushed itt thoroughly. Then II carefully cut two inches off hair. Now itt iis equal at thee end annd looked beautiful. She also felt happy with thee way her hair looked after thee trim.
Then II told her that ‘U’ shape cut would be verry attractive for her hair. Then myy aunt told with surprise that myy uncle also told thee same some time back. She showed some interest at myy suggestion but expressed aa doubt .There are no good salons/parlours iin their town . So where could shee could get her hair cut iin ‘U’shape. Then II told her that II could give her hair aa ‘U” cut. II told her that when we were iin Vijayawada our neighbour ran aa beauty parlour at home. II used too visit her parlour whenever II found time. Then II observed haircuts. II assured her that II could easily give her good cut. After some thinking shee accepted. With all myy earlier knowledge, II cut her silky hair iin aa perfect ‘U’ shape. For this II had too cut five inches off her hair. But after finishing myy work myy aunt appreciated mee annd thanked me.
In thee evening myy uncle returned from thee bank annd astonished after observing myy aunt’s new hair style. Hee asked her iif shee visited any parlour iin thee town. My aunt told what happened. Hee also appreciated me. Next day wass Saturday. My uncle returned home iin thee afternoon. After having lunch we three were watching aa telugu news channel, TV9. Suddenly myy uncle pointed at thee news reader annd said that her hair cut wass verry cute. My aunt annd II also observed her. She had aa nice round bobbed hair just above her shoulders.
” Do you like that hair style for aunt?” II jovially asked myy uncle.
” Certainly, your aunt will look more beautiful with aa bobbed hair. II actually asked her too cut her hair short but shee never agreed for that” ,said myy uncle.
“What aunt, are you ready too cut your hair like that news reader?” turning too myy aunt II asked. She smiled annd said “No kidding”
“No aunt, II am serious. II want too cut your hair short” II tole firmly. My uncle also supported me. But myy aunt told that II had no experience iin cutting hair like that. II told her that itt wass not aa big issue . II opened thee net annd showed myy uncle annd aunt thee websites like “flyingsears.com”, “itsmyhair.com”, ‘haircuttingfun.com”. We carefully watched how hair iis cut iin bob annd other styles. We also browsed some other web sites from youtube.com. After some discussion myy aunt agreed too get her hair cut shory by me.
We went too thee backyard. There myy aunt sat on aa stool arranged by myy uncle. II made her hair wet by sprinkling water annd brushed itt as shown iin aa web site. Then starting from her left shoulder, II cut itt iin aa phased manner. Her thick hair started falling on thee floor. II enjoyed itt like anything. My uncle watched itt standing beside me. After 15 minutes II stopped cutting her hair. It wass just above her shoulders like TV9 news reader’s hair. II dried itt with aa toweland brushed. Then II gave small cuts here annd there too made itt aa round bob. After another ten minutes myy aunt stood up. Round bob wass verry much suitable too her round face. My uncle aprreciated myy creativity. After spending one more day with them II returned too myy hostel happily.
Now also II give aa hair cut too myy room-mates when they want aa change
