My
name is Julie Long and I am an 8th grader at
North Eastern Randolph Middle School. About a month ago my
mother was reading the newspaper and saw an ad that read:
Models Needed For Dry,
Frizzy, Damaged Hair – Call Jeannie’s Hair Company
My
mother’s exact words were “this is your lucky day or a
prayer answered from the Lord Himself”. We called Jeannie
but received no answer. Immediately thinking this could be
my last chance, we drove to Jeannie’s Hair Company where
Jeannie checked over my hair. I made the comment to Jeannie
that if she didn’t need me as a model for her product, she
could use her product on me later or find some way to help
restore my hair. No one else could help. Their responses
were “shave your head or cut your hair”. I thought, no!
that would by my last thing to do. I love my hair so much.
When I arrived at Jeannie’s, my hair was three different
colors, blondish at the roots, red at the middle of my head
and jet black at the end of my hair. My mother and I made
my hair three different colors from using four different
treatments of color remover. What led up to using color
remover was the fact that I had dyed my hair a reddish
blonde color for about four years. I wanted a change so I
colored my hair jet black, which was too dark for my skin
tone. Nothing would take the black color out. I called
Sally’s Beauty Supply hoping for an answer. They told me to
use the color remover, they also told me it might not work
on a black dye. They said to shave or cut off all my hair.
I was also being picked on so bad at school; I heard
comments from people I did not even know. They were calling
me freak, gothic chick, and Satan worshipper. People
wouldn’t hang around me and even the teacher gave me looks.
At this point my hair was breaking just to touch it. I
didn’t want to brush it very hard because I was afraid it
might fall out.
When I heard about Jeannie’s hair product I didn’t at all
believe it would work, but indeed it did. There were people
who wouldn’t even speak to me who now ask me what I did to
make such a big difference to my hairs touch and
appearance. I am even getting comments from guys that I
didn’t know they even knew I existed. My teachers even saw
the difference and asked me what I had done to make the look
of my hair so much better. People are now speechless.
I
love what Jeannie’s hair product did to my hair. It has not
only changed my hair but my self-confidence as well. I feel
better about my hair and I can now leave it down in public
without looks from others. People now say hi or how are
you. Jeannie’s hair product made my hair softer, stronger,
shiny, full of life and gave it a whole new world. If
someone were to ask me now if I would dye my hair again, I
would say yes. Jeannie’s hair product made me believe
someone and something could really restore my hair to new.
I
would say to others out there like me, do not shave your
hair off; there is a product that will help restore your
hair from frizzy breaking damages.
