For the girls out there reading this blog, I must tell you about the hair situation. About 1/2 of the downtown TeKauwhata merchants know about my problem. After discovering that I could no longer use my trustworthy large barrel curling iron, I began investigating. The first stop was at the two Beauty Shops in town. I talked with the beauticians and their customers.
Another factor------I forgot to pack my styling gel. It was determined that there are no large barrel curling irons in NZ, only the small ones. In talking with Robin, beautician at one of the shops, it was thought that the best bet would be to purchase a NZ hairdryer and try to find a large round styling brush. The hunt began. The next stop was at the Pharmacy where I purchased a large round brush. Then across the street to Wests which sells about everything. There I bought a hair dryer. No curling irons in TeKauwhata.
Later that day I ran into a lady who was getting her hair cut at the first Beauty Shop I visited, and she asked how I was getting along.
The next day as I was walking down the street with Will, I got a big smile from a young lady who had sold me the brush and she said, "Looks good!" Will looked at me in bewilderment and asked, "How does she know you?"
I returned to talk with Robin about the details in using the brush/dryer combo and she demonstrated the technique and recommended I use mousse as well since I didn't have my gel.
It is still a struggle for me, but I am slowly making progress. Nothing is easy!
