The NYC Hairathon



i'm in training, did you know?
well i am.
i'm training for the hairathon.
do you know what the hairathon is?
i didn't either until two saturdays ago.
it's kind of a big deal.

i found out about it during a trim with my mane man cipriano.
cipriano is tall, furry and full of attitude.

"how are you feeling?"
"feeling?"
"how are you feeeeling about your hair."
"bad, it's too curly."
"so you want a little LESS curly."
"yes."
"you want to RELAX the curl."
"yes. but not straight."
"it will be curly but LESS!"
"cool, can i do it now?"
"no, you go home and you TRAIN."
"train?"
"yes. it is like the marathon. you don't go out and run it one day. you TRAIN for it!" he said, pumping two bottles of deep therapy mask high above his head and slamming them down on the counter.

that's all there is to this story.
