Hairspray

Hair Spray
Today I had a major culture shock, or something like that. Ok the whole time I have been in country I have had no make up on and very little hair supplies. This was a huge step for me, and I kept telling myself that I don’t need to be so materialitic or vain. It doesn’t matter what I look like because there are bigger problems in the world. Today I totally snapped, and it became my sole mission to find hairspray and gel. This mission would have been a lot easier if I knew the words for hairspray and gel.
I walked in and out of every hanut on my block and even one salon, but it was ovious that I was not wanted in that salon. So far I had found gel but it wasn’t exactly what I wanted, so I kept looking. I walked in to a salon that had hairspray and gel in the window thinking that even if I didn’t know the words I could point to them. Go figure it was one of the girls who went to the Darchab and she knew a little English. Not only did she tell me where to find hairspray and gel she shut down her shop and went with me to find it. Which was great because we had to go to three different hanuts and when we did find it the hanut owner wanted to charge me about 100DH!! She talked him down to 50! :) She was so wonderful I couldn't thank her enough. So of course I went right home and did my hair. Classic, I know. :)
