One of the best part of Christmas is having a beautiful hair style on. I remember when I was younger, having a Christmas hair was a thing. My mom will drop my sister and I at the salon for our hair to be neatly done.

My mom would have booked with the salon lady some days before, sometimes even weeks, because the salon is always overbooked at this time. Everybody had to have their Christmas hair done. My sister and I will choose from a variety of hair styles from the brochure the stylist provides, from braids to weaves to Ghana braids to gel-packing or stylish weaving. Most kids loves gel packing, it makes them look like their favorite fairy-tale model. I remember I always wanted braids and I would want my braids in red and gold colors because as a kid, I saw Christmas as a time to do something more beautiful than the regular, a time to shine and glow because in my head my hair is black while stick to black braids. What’s the fun in it will be my thought.
Now as an adult, the uplifting spirit of Christmas still stays but now I keep my hairstyles simple. The highlight however is I change them everyday. Everyday something new. Today I’m with a Top-Knot style tomorrow I will be with an up-do or a wash & go or probably a twist out. Its just like having a present everyday for Christmas, the curiosity of opening a box, that’s the excitement I get from gifting myself a new look everyday. I have learnt that our hair is like fashion it makes you very creative, you tweak it here and there to turn it from one style to another.
As an adult, I see Christmas as a time to be versatile with my hairstyles.
