My thinning hair began to bother me last week, so I went into a hairdresser and said “Wo xiang mei yo tou fa” (I would like not have head hair). First a middle aged woman with bouffant hair put shampoo in and scratched my scalp with her fingernails for what seemed like hours, then a man with bouffant hair came and shaved it all off.
It feels good and looks better. It’s just a shame that the next day saw a chill wind reach the city. For the first time since February it is actually cold and my head is directly exposed to the elements. I need a furry hat.
