I went to the salon to braid my hair, I just wanted something simple and nice and we were done in one hour.

Before I knew what was happening, the hairstylist brought out a candle like she wanted to do night vigil on my head.

I said,

“Are you sure?”

She said,

“Relax, I do it all the time.”

My people…

She passed the flame near one braid and the thing IGNITED it.

I heard, “FWOOSH!”

I shouted, “Jesus!”

She shouted, “Water!”

The other girl shouted, “Blow it!”

Next thing, three of us were fighting the fire on my head like firefighters with no pension. 😭💀

When the flame finally died, the braid looked like roasted plantain on one side.

She just touched it and said,

“It’s not too bad… we can redo it.”

RE-DO-WHAT???

I almost walked out with half my hair and full trauma.
