Hair Fun

[Tropicana]

What a hectic day!! Just getting in.

I'm going to be involved in sports one day next week next week and then I need to go to a business meeting. I don't want to mess up my hair so I thought I'd better get a stocking cap or something. Rushed around and realized when I was downtown I forgot to pick one up.

Went to the pharmacy in my area and figured the young lady serving me (White) would not have a clue what I was talking about so I just asked for the section with the curlers. She took me to hot rollers and curling irons. I said "no curlers" the regular kind, not hot rollers. She had never heard of them. I said "Hairnets?" Again she was lost. The older lady at the cash took me to the rollers but alas, I couldn't find what I needed.

So I left, went to the bank machine. A young White guy walked in (early to mid 20s). He looked athletic. I said "Do you play sports?" He said "yes". I said " May I ask you a question?" He "Sure". I figured he wouldn't know what I was talking about either if I used the right word so I said "You know what guys wear under their helmets to protect their hair". He said "You mean a doo rag?"



I laughed and said "I figured you wouldn't know what that was....."

He said "Oh no, I'm hip and down." He then told me where I could get them in the area

Hey xagim, do you know what a doo rag is?

Re: Hair Fun

Tropi, you never heard to cut up your old pantyhose?
Why do you think it's called a &quot;stocking cap&quot;?
Why waste money buying a doo rag?


Seriously... I think it's appalling that a young woman doesn't know what curlers are!
Forget about whether or not she uses them... at least recognize them!

That is exactly what my hairdresser said. She also said &quot; Don't be surprised if her boyfriend is Black&quot;

I finally found them in a convenience store (just like the young White guy advised where there was a young Chinese woman. I went round the bend...stocking caps, etc. She said she didn't have them. Then as I was about to leave she said &quot;Oh, do you mean doo rags?&quot; She had them. I ended up buying a wig cap as it was thinner.

Actually, that is what I usually do but this was a business function and I thought it wouldn't look too classy hauling out the panty section of panty hose and putting it on my head in front of colleauges.

She had only heard of the electric kind.

Re: Hair Fun

Which 'business function' are you going to with a 'classy' doo rag?

Re: Hair Fun

I didn't end up doing the doo rag. I went with a wig cap.
