For the first time since Middle School, I buzz cut my hair. Not by choice, just from lack of options.
There are no hair scissors in Senegal, just hair clippers. My coiffure was great and gave me a good deal. Plus, I now look more like the Senegalese men, so I'm considering this "sacrifice" as part of my cultural integration. And the hot weather certainly supports this choice.
I'm just thankful that the electricity stayed on the entire time so I didn't leave with half a shaved head...
Pictures coming soon.
