When I got to university, I decided to change my hairstyle. I had my curly (卷曲的) hair straightened (拉直). However, it cost me $700 once every six months to do this. People said I was crazy to spend that much on my hair. But I would do anything to never again see that curly-haired girl in the mirror.

“Do you really think this will work?” I asked.

“No curly hair is hopeless,” she replied. “You just haven’t found a way to work with it. That’s all.”
