The Salon
Seated in a salon and there’s a little girl (looks 7) whose hair is being straightened. The woman handling the blow-drier has no “child-centered hair straightening skills”. She is rough and is unconcerned as the little girl’s neck is bent over, sideways, following the direction of her aggressive combing.
The little girl is either brave or got a warning from the nanny who accompanied her about crying.
As I wrote this I noticed the salon owner is blow-drying the little girl’s older sis (about 8 or 9) and there’s such a great difference. I think she should blow-dry all the little girls’ hair in her salon. She’s quite gentle.
Sometimes I think it’s best to blow-dry one’s own child’s hair (that’s a mouthful) - she might kick and scream but there’s nothing as calming as mummy’s gentle hands on a child’s head. Plus mummy won’t pull and tug at the little one’s hair as if every strand of hair must be straightened. Who cares? They are children.
Last time I was here I advised the owner to buy a kiddy’s blow-drier because the adult and child mix ain’t fair. I’ll mention it again.
