Recently while having my hair trimmed at the Saloon I had a new barber tending to me. Every saloon I usually have my regular barber since I like to keep my hair short! The visit is usually every two months or so!
While talking to me he mentioned how my hair is a little bent at the ends and suggested that I do not wash it everyday!
He also mentioned how I must apply Mustard oil and leave it!
Now; most of the times I never tell anyone my profession so that I do not have to get free questions or even advice so I just nodded along!
But his confidence was so good so I thought I could give it a try!
Of course any oil on my head and I usually end up with either a bad cold or a severe case of Migraine!
And my migraine attacks are so severe that many times I need an injection! They are rare like a special occasion but when they do come, you would remember them for some time!
So I was thinking since I have not tried Mustard oil and have actually tried all other oils, maybe by trial and error, it may not give me any reaction!
He also mentioned how I should not shampoo my hair everyday! He categorically stated that Shampoo is only for women since they have longer hair!
My nodding along continued till the end of the cut! I must say he did a pretty good job since I was looking more ‘trim’!
Mentally I was thinking to at least try his advice and see!
Then as I took my wallet to pay him his fees and some tip; I had a look first time at his face and more importantly his head!
I was shocked to see his amazing clean temple with some hair on the sides! He had a partially balding head with some bent hairs trying to grip the sides and hold on! He had pulled the hair on the sides to try and cover the spot at least as much as he could!
Now him being bald or almost there was not the issue! The issue was him giving me advice on how to take care of my hair when his own head was a testimonial to the fact that his own hair strands were leaving him and more than half had already long gone!
The moral of the story is; give advice on making money only when you are rich!
Giving advice is something which anyone can give! But remember that if you want it to be respected or followed then you have to show the result of the advice in your own life!
My advice is to listen to a good song! Like the song up! Then you will realise that it’s inspired by a Hindi song by Talat Mahmood called Itna sa muzse…
Shubh ratri!
