Manicure / Freewrite's Prompt by @mariannewest
*I see the prompt and only thought of the 'cure' I recently had a chance to receive.* ***Haircure, lol...***

#### While many of my peers go for manicure and pedicure and other types of 'cure' to invite the upcoming New Year, I do not go for these types of cure. I had been doing DIY for 7 years now, cutting my own hair and dyeing my own hair. Homecure, sort of. However, my husband had advised me several times end of last year to pay a visit to saloon. I was not too sure was it because my hair was that bad or my DIY skill was very below the skill, whatever, but I had decided I would give it a go this year.

# I went and 'cure' my hair.
I was so used to staying comfortable in the four-wall of my house that I needed some kick to go to the saloon. I thought about it for one week, set a time, plan with le husband so that he took care of the boys while I would be out. Here I was. The lady examined my hair and wondered why my hair had patches of black here and there and patches of old hair dye here and there. 😂 DIY, my lady, DIY...creativity. Anyway, she commented my hair looked naturally nice ans healthy. I could not be happier. 

### I chose to highlight with darker brown as base and lighter brown as highlight.

It started with the process of highlighting stripes of hair patiently and wrap with foil. I almost forgetted how it felt but seriously, I still loved people touching my hair. It felt so comfortable and nice. I felt like I could relax and sleep. I am not weird, right?

Then, it was the standard steps of coloring the rest of the hair with the base. Wrapped and wait.

Followed by washing and oh my, I really felt like sleeping. The lady washing my hair while scratching my scalp...super cloud-9 feeling. I wished she could do longer haha. After that, she did a treatment on my hair with mask and steamer.

Followed by another washing, then blowing and trimming the hair. The boss always appeared at the cutting part because he was the only one responsible for all the hair cutting. The boss also praised my hair looked healthy. Cloud nine me.

Anyway, I didn't take photo after that because I felt like I needed to rush home so that I could take over the job of taking care of the boys so that my husband could work.

Let me show you the recent photo of mine, can you see the colour?

#### For 7 years I had been caving at home cutting own's hair, so did my youngest son. He followed the same shadow. But I figured it was time to kick him out of the nest too. After one week of discussing and preparing him because he was so scared of saloon or barber due to the scissors (my fault because I accidentally poked his head skin a bit while cutting his hair, ouch!), he agreed to go with one condition, I must hold his hands when he needed courage. Set! Just a quick showing here...

# In the process.

#### Finally, I agreed with what my husband said — that to let the professionals do their job is the best. Now, I am thinking should I give myself a chance to try manicure and pedicure. Thinking and thinking....
