2016: As mentioned in my previous posts, I'm not very adventurous when it comes to hairstyles. The most I've done with my hair is curling it. I've always wanted to have a spunkier hairstyle, but a pixie cut is perhaps too drastic, dreadlocks are irreversible and undercuts take too long to grow back. So I went for cornrows. And not on my entire head! Just on one side, and only five rows. A sampler to see if I like the look.
In Khao San, Bangkok, I found a cheap salon that did cornrows for only 50 baht per row. My stylist did it super-fast with her nimble fingers. Everything was done in perhaps 15 minutes and it was neat too. The braids were not too tight, I barely knew they were there. The only complaint I had was that it was hard to sleep without ruining them and also harder to wash. Personally, I don't think the style really suited me, but it was different, and for the one week that I had the braids, I felt like a badass. ;-)
