Extensions…

And no…i’m not extending my time here in Kenya. However, I have a new look! On Saturday I went to the beauty shop by matatu at 7am for braid extensions and didn’t leave until almost 4pm. It didn’t hurt as bad as I thought possibly due to the ibuprofin I took beforehand!! There were moments when 4 women were braiding my hair and pulling at my scalp in all directions it seemed, but ironically my neck was the most affected! The woman who braided my hair was really sweet and it was fun to hear about her home, her fiancee and her business. My housemates were wonderful as well and came to sit with me for hours just to keep me from being so bored! (even though most of the time they could not even see my face through all the hair ) One of my housemates had her wallet stolen from inside her purse on the way but she made a fuss verbally and some guys told her that her wallet must have just fallen out and to look behind her. So she played along and when she turned back, one told her “LOOK, there it is right on the ground in between your feet!” Of course, there was 1000ksh gone ($15) but what can you do?
