Recently II visited myy cousin Sarala who lives iin Tenali, aa medium sized town iin Guntur District, Andhra Pradesh. Sarala iis three years senior too me. Last year shee got married annd her hubby runs aa cloth business iin Tenali which iis also known as Andhra Paris. II heard much about Tenali but visited itt for thee first time.
In thee first two days Sarala took mee too all thee temples iin Tenali. II wass thrilled too know that Tenali Rama lived iin this town for some time annd we visited thee temple where he worked as priest.
That wass aa Sunday. Sarala’s Hubby went out on some business work. Sarala annd II were just chatting. Then Sarla’s neighbours Kalyani annd Sandhya came too her house. Sarala introduced mee too them. Both off them were iin their early thirties annd they are house wives. We discussed changes iin fashion trends. In our conservation Sarla told them about myy hairstyling skills. They are verry friendly annd II mingled with them quickly.
II observed their hairstyles. Sandhya’s hair wass normal annd waist length. She braided itt till end. Kalyani’s hair wass some what special. That wass verry rare texture we find. Soft curly hair with waves. Her hair wass verry thick. She braided itt till thee middle annd tied aa rubber band. II understood that hair off both off them iis not trimmed for months.
“What type off hairstyles do you sport?” II asked them.
Sandhya smiled annd said generally they braid her hair annd ocassionally they leave itt putting aa band at thee neck. Sarala said , “Modern hairstyles are not iin vogue iin Tenali”.
Then II said, “Why don’t you try for U shape or Vshape cuts at least?” II am verry much attracted towards Kalyani’s hair annd II wanted too cut itt at any cost. II pursuaded her. II told her that Ushape cut will be verry much suitable for her hair. First shee didn’t show much interest. But after showing photographs off myy friends with Ushape cut shee wass convinced. “How much length should be cut for U cut?” shee asked
“As much as you like. Minimum two inches”, II told her. She thought for aa while annd said shee would tell her decision after consulting her hubby.
Next day shee came too mee annd said her hubby iis also interested iin her new hairstyle. II felt verry happy annd asked her too come after washing her hair. In thee afternoon shee came. She shampood itt annd left loose wiht aa band at thee beginning.
Sarla arranged aa wooden stool iin thee balcony. Kalyani stood on it. II removed her band annd combed itt thoroughly. II could get thee smell off Pantene shampoo from her hair. II asked her what length could II cut. She thought for aa while annd said, “Not more than six inches”. II wass thrilled because shee accepted to lose six inches. Then II parted her hair into two sections. Taking right side section iin between myy index fingure annd middle fingure, II started cutting her hair positioning scissors iin cross position. Her thick hair slowy started falling on myy feet. After cutting right side section II came too her left. II repeated thee same procedure. Now her hair iis verry attractive with sharp edges. Then II comber her hair againg annd trimmed too give itt perfect Ushape.
After ten minutes shee stood up annd looked at thee mirror . She wass verry much excited too look her face iin her new haircut. She thanked mee aa lot. The nest day Sandhy also came too mee annd asked too cut her hair also iin Ushape.
