Hairdresser Discovers Secret Hiding In Hair

She had never experienced anything like this before. She was so embarrassed. And the boy had just made things worse.

Now everyone was staring at her and her hair. The nurse screamed for someone to fetch help. The principal rushed to call her dad, explaining that he’d never done anything like this before. Oh my gosh, she thought, was it really that bad?

Carefree

Hannah Combs was just an ordinary teen, enjoying life in Harker Heights, Texas – a town where everyone knew each other. She was 15 and looking forward to starting school after the summer vacation.

Other kids had cautioned her that high school could be tough and that her school, in particular, had a culture of bullying freshmen. But Hannah wasn’t worried. She was a people’s person – surely everyone would love her?

Boys On Her Mind

All summer long, Hannah had been dreaming about her first romantic encounter with a boy. She couldn’t wait for that magical first kiss! But she knew how teen boys could be.

They could think she’s too plain, or nerdy, or find something to poke fun at. Just a week ago, one of her friends had related how a girl at her school had been mercilessly teased for having lice. However, Hannah thought she could handle anything.

Blondes Have More Fun

She wanted to do something to get the guys’ attention. She thought her hair was her best feature; indeed, it was the only thing she liked about herself… if she was honest.

After bingeing on old Marilyn Monroe movies during the summer, Hannah decided to get blonde highlights. The hairstylist seemed to agree that it was a great idea. She even gave Hannah some tips on keeping her locks healthy and advice for dealing with the recent ‘super lice’ outbreak.

Preparations

In the week before school would begin, Hannah kept admiring her hair in the mirror – and she felt awesome! Even her best friend Betsy said she looked amazing. The boys wouldn’t know what hit them!

She spent the whole week getting her outfits ready, checking which clothes would best set off her new hair color. Nothing was going to spoil the first days of her freshman year.
