A new haircut

I have a lovely friend named Maria and her hair is similar to mine in texture. I love her color and cut and asked who did her hair. A guy named Charlie at Les Elites. Great! I went there about three weeks ago and said that I loved Maria's hair and would he use similar colors for my hair. By the way, Egyptians are very expressive. I would say that is an Arab trait and I enjoy watching Arab people communicate. I don't understand a word they say to each other but it is said with a lot of enthusiasm.

So Charlie looks at me and tells me that I need a new style. Yes, I said, I have been thinking of doing something different with my hair. He tells me to stand up and so I do because he is very expressive. I stand behind the chair and he starts cutting my hair. No explanation or anything, just starts cutting long pieces of my hair. It was almost like Edward Scissorhands. I thought, well I love Maria's hair and it's only hair so if I don't like it then it will grow back. Plus I was in Egypt and starting a new adventure. So I let him do what he wanted. He then told me to sit down and I did, because he is very expressive. He finished cutting my hair while I was sitting and while I was telling him that I don't want anything that is fussy and take a lot of time. No, this will be easy. He's finished in less than 10 minutes. All I see is lots of hair on the floor and short hair on my head. It's wet so you can't really tell what went on. He dried it and I love it. Dave really loves it. It's lighter and younger looking.

I thought this was the way Egyptians get their hair cut but later I learned that it's just Charlie. It was fun!

I hate taking selfies...but here's my new look and I am happy with it. Charlie also did a good job with the color.
