47.0 The A - Z Of Pimples...Doctor's Treatments Or Salon's Advice?

Worst Haircut! As a child, I went to a salon for a haircut, and that was the only purpose. Though there are many haircuts for children today, those days we did not have many options. Mainly there were two types. You can cut your hair very shortly as a boy, or you can cut it till your neck.

Though the second type was most suitable for a small girl, my parents preferred to go to the first option. As per their view, it was a convenient haircut for me. My sister also had the same haircut, and we looked like boys in our school era. However, we did not think much about it as many friends had such short hair like us. So, luckily, we did not highlight as aliens.

Most of the time, we visited a salon for three to four times per year for our hair cut. Every time we went there with my father or mother. Those days I was so scared of scissors and razors. I thought that they would cut my ears and hurt my eyes. Therefore, I closed my eyes when they were cutting hair near the forehead area. However, I liked the smell, they have. The air fresheners they used were some nice stuff except their tools. As my parents always applied oil to my hair most of the time, they washed my head. That was the worst thing I hate it as a kid. I did not like to have a bath in their salon though it was only a head bath.

Haircut Gone Wrong! When growing up I went to salons with my friends who also had short haircuts. Those days I loved that as it was an enjoyable thing with friends. Not like these days, we did not take appointments for haircuts. We just went and waited for our time. So, we always had a waiting time, and we used that time to read the magazines available in the salons for their customers. 

So, we went through the images of different hairstyles.  Some of them were crazy and we did not forget to criticize those images. Though there were many attractive hairstyles, I used only one hairstyle during my school era. Those days it was known as 'Diana cut as it looks like the haircut of Princess Diana. However, I did not have many layers like her hairstyle as my one was very short.

My friends also had the same situation, and they also did not select a different hairstyle. When I was thinking about a new style, two things came to my mind. I compared it with adherence to school and my parent's rules. So, most of the time, the new styles breached the rules. However, some friends were fearless to have new hairstyles though it broke the rules. They did not change their new look though teachers have threatened them. Actually, they looked pretty with those hairstyles, and we always thought that our school rules need to be changed.

After the school era, Salon was not an essential place in my life. My hair also grew with me, and I did not want to go to a salon. Facial and skin beauty cared for by my mother's home remedies. However, those days my entire face has affected with pimples and patches. Beauty Queen! Hah hah ha... So, I could not apply cream or cleansing as per my wish. 

Therefore, those days I tried to cure my pimples and patches. Some of my friends, my sister, and some cousins also faced the same situation. So, we all discussed solutions and medicines they used for their treatments. It was one main problem we had. But I did not take the support of salon consultants as doctors specifically asked me to avoid various beauty products. However, I had to go there when I wanted to change my hair with layers or something. At such times, I had to listen to their lectures, and they saw my face as a disaster. They suggested many beauty products.  

Beauty Advice! The owner of such a salon was a young girl. Once I went there, I saw that she was worried about a few pimples she had on her face. So, once she told me her concern, I asked "didn't you use that product for pimples? Then she said "no, dear, I'm going to visit a skin specialist for treatments. I was wondering. Lol... 

So, I thought that the doctor's decision was correct, and after that, I stopped using any facial cream. At that time, I was using one salon's product, and I got it from one of my cousins. The price of that cream was also a bit expensive. Though it showed good results, I stopped it after knowing the decision of that beautician. I consulted a skin specialist for a few years for pimples as I thought that other beauty opinions were not good enough for the bad status of my face. My sister also visited the same doctor after a few years once she also faced similar issues. He was a well-known and famous skin consultant. 

Many patients consulted him for their skin-related issues. On the very first day, he asked me to describe my problem, and the remedies I applied. So, I explained my list of items, and there were many.  Additionally, I told him that I steamed my face every evening. He listened to all carefully and asked me to stop everything. The entire effort was useless in from of his advice, and that’s what I felt.

One day I visited an Ayurvedic doctor for Phlegm, and those days also there were many pimple patches. After recommending a few medicines, he looked at my face diligently. So, I thought that he would give me another advice like others. But he was different. 

He asked 'don't you look at your face via a mirror. At that time, I could not stop my laugh. But I could see my father's reddish face. So, my father added many things to answer that question, though I did not supply an answer. Additionally, he explained the treatments I had from different doctors. He pointed out that none of them could help my problem as I tried to pop them via my nails. I thought he felt shame about her daughter (Beauty Princess). Lol…
