School has started and students everywhere are trying to adjust to their new schedules. Night owls have to
revert to earlier bed times or else risk sleeping through their alarms. College co-eds jostle for mirror time in dorm restrooms, wielding all sorts of menacing items to get them ready in time for class – sizzling curling irons, mascara wands, hairspray, blow-dryers, and flatirons hot enough to fry an egg.
Soon, the smart girls realize something’s gotta give. Campus life and hours spent on hair and makeup just don’t mesh. Morning makeup application will need to be cut down to a five-minute beauty blitz, and they’ll learn to either wear their hair “au naturel” to classes or shove it under a ball cap, emblazoned with the school logo. For the really smart gals, a third option comes to mind: a semi-permanent cure for the unruly mess – an appointment at a hair salon to get Japanese hair straightening.
