Managing Your Hair

LUKE: (Natural) You weren't exactly all natural yet. You had acquired at least 7 inches of new growth and hadn't relaxed/permed your hair in months. It was starting to break, and taking care of it was getting out of hand. You decided to do your big chop and begin your new natural lifestyle. The thing is you might have forgotten to tell Luke that you were coming home with significantly shorter hair. "Where's all your hair?" He questioned, eyes wide, obviously shocked. The look on his face scared you because you thought he didn't like it. "I got my big chop today. Like I got rid of all the straight hair so my natural curls are left." You had explained this to him before, and he told you he would be supportive; whether you chose to chop or relax/perm your hair again. That was reaffirmed when he expressed his love for your afro style. "You look great; I really like it Y/N. It's different - kinda punk rock too."

MICHAEL: (Perm/Relaxed) It was about that time again to get your hair done (you started seeing that wavy new growth at your roots). How unfortunate for you though, that your hair dresser had relocated, and on a day like today, you couldn't get to her. You decided to do it yourself as you had before when you moved. After buying your trusted brand's perm, you headed upstairs and got to work. You sat on the floor of your shared bedroom, in front of the mirror and based your head. You were two-thirds of the way finished applying the perm when Michael walked in.

"Hey babe. The guys are here. Did you b - what are you doing? Are you dying our hair?" He asked excited, hanging up his flannel.

"God no. I'm just perming it." You responded. You struggled to reach the back; that was always difficult for you. Michael must have noticed because he sat up on his knees behind you. "I'll help; just show me what to do." You gave him your gloves, the tail comb, and the mix, explaining that he needed to part, and apply the perm mix into your hair - roots specifically. "So what does this stuff do anyway?" "Perm basically turns your hair the opposite of what it actually is. I don't know how though. Like, I have naturally curly/kinky hair and this makes it straight." He instantly stopped, "your hair isn't straight on its own?" "No Mikey. That's why I spend money on this stuff and getting my hair treated every two weeks." He continued without question and you had to say, he did a pretty good job. "So now what?" "Now I wait until it starts to burn to wash it out." "Burn? What the hell." "Yup. And I have to wait extra-long because I want these edges layed."

CALUM: (Extensions/Box Braids/Twists) When are you going to be done w your hair? Your boyfriend had probably asked you that more than three times today and it was getting annoying. Before leaving his place this morning, you explained that the braiding process took very long. He obviously doesn't have as much patience as you do. It's only been an hour and a half. I have at least three more.

Three hours? But babe I wanted to go out for lunch w you. As much as that pulled on your heart strings, you had to get your hair done today. You have an important job interview tomorrow and want to look as good as possible. I'm sorry! We can go out for lunch tomorrow right?

Yeah I guess see you in three hours :(

ASHTON: (Weave) Though you have a raging headache, you look amazing! You had decided when you were little that you would never get a weave because your hair permed was enough. But it was never the length you wanted and so for your birthday you chose to bend the rules and get a sue-in. It's a curly brown princess (super curly ends) style and you love it. It's basically what you do to your permed hair, just longer - about the middle of your back. You unlock your apartment door hoping to surprise your boyfriend, but instead you're surprised by all your family and friends! Turns out Ashton planned a party and set up while you were out. After changing your clothes, you joined in the festivities. Everyone was in love with your hair and all the compliments you received put a smile on your face. You found Ash in the kitchen and gave him a huge hug and kiss for planning all this. "Well I couldn't just let you get yourself pampered today. That's boring." "Thank you for treating me by the way." You smile at the generous offer he had made earlier to pay to get your hair and nails done. "Do you like it?" You do a quick turn, making the hair fan out. "I love it you look beautiful." He kisses you passionately and holds your waist only to whisper, "More to grab onto."
