Since last month, I decided to get a hair spa and a hair cut on a monthly basis. The hair spa only requires two to three applications of treatments. Last month, I had three. This month, two. It may be that simple, but this month’s visit was the most agonizing experience I had.

I always pick the L’Oreal hair and scalp treatment package from the list (I just don’t know what package specifically, apparently there are tons when I try to search for them in Google) which costs me almost 1,000 pesos. And I have no idea if it’s a good price.

It’s funny because I felt stings all over my head when the guy was applying the treatments on my scalp. He was really focusing on applying the treatment by pressing hard onto my little scalp wounds. That was the first round. The second round doesn’t require effort at all because the treatment stings the moment i feel it on my head. I was trying to play Bejeweled the whole time he was doing this to my poor scalp and I always end up closing the game to control myself from screaming from pain.

The salon guy was curious where I got the little wounds on my scalp because according to him, today, my scalp has no dandruff at all. He can remember my visit from last month because my scalp was a disaster back then (dandruff + little wounds). And then we both figured that I should stop my habit of scratching my head at idle times. I have this weird habit of touching my head when concentrating or watching something or when stressed out. But it causes the little wounds not to heal. I promised him I’d try to stop. That would be good for me and my head on my next visit. No more pain.

If I still can’t control myself, I’ll follow the last guy’s advise to cut off my hands. No hands = dandruff-free and wound-free scalp? Not bad, salon guy. Not bad at all.
