The Straight Hair Experiment- IMPOSSIBLE

I grew up in a country with a lot of Chinese people. Have you seen their hair? Thick, straight and long.. when they want it long of course. Growing up, this was a big problem for me... and the humidity didn't help either.

So began a quest almost to get my hair straight. I didn't have just one best idea, I had several.

    X To comb my hair through and through when it was wet till it got dry
     
    X To dry my hair between a heavy book (adapted from the flower pressing method)
     
    X To tie my hair to something heavy (a bottle of water) till it dried (like how you'd make sure someone drowned)
     
    X To use hairspray
     
    X To use an ironing bench because I didn't know about the hair straightener then and people just referred to it as iron your hair
     
    X To use oil (of course loosing the volume)
    Hair Dryer... except, it took too long in the morning!





      And now having grown up, I've been using a hair straightener to straighten my hair (because re-bonding/ chemical straightening kills volume and I already suffer from a shortage of hair!) I carry it in my bag, and the rain is my worst friend!!!

      Saro,

      One should be happy with what one naturally has and not interfere with it using chemical agents. Best of luck for the contest.

      Take care

When he started his journey, it was the soles of his feet that were in contact with the ground, but now as he pulled himself closer to the station, it was his whole body. His elbows were scraped, bloody and fresh scab peeled bled out to leave a trail of red on the wicked hot dusty ground of pain and suffering. All around him slow moving bodies crawled towards the direction of hope, all along leaving patterns of blood, sweat, skin and pus. These bodies had seen civil wars, droughts, genocide and lived to tell a tale of a people who now belonged to a nation listed as one of the poorest countries in the world. This is now, but before the list, was a struggle of massive proportions, under reported and quietly hidden

The Temple Widow A narrow dirt path, generously peppered with tiny pebbles, tiny miniatures of their gargantuan ancestors, leads to a bridge. It hangs, rickety and old. Old but not well used, old like abandoned and not frequently used. The bridge hangs low over a small stream that slowly gurgles past, happy unlike those that visit the place. The bridge leads to a temple. It is not very big, only perhaps the size of a small hut and at the most the size of an average temple hall. The temple has no deity; the temple has no one corner that doesn’t look like the other. It is clean, well swept, and empty. It has no furniture, and excepting a series of well spaced out windows, the walls remains uninterrupted. She stumbles in, the lady. She is not very tal

All I know is what I know, question my memory if you want to. I don't ask you to remember, I don't ask you to believe. In fact, I'm not asking you for anything at all. It is your choice to be here, to read this. So no, I don't owe you a favor. I happened to chance upon a watch, on one of my travels. Turning the dials of such a watch, could transport you to the past, to the future, to any time. But time, my friend, is not how you think it is. It is not a straight line, and you cannot just by chance hop into the world of dinosaurs and wooden weapons. It is a series of transparencies, like films of clean sheets of paper laid on top of each other. You look from above
