Of Blonde Ambitions and Dramatic Births



via GIPHY
Sooooooooooooo!!!!! Tuesday August the 11th is a day I shall never ever forget as long as I live!! One of the stylists in the salon who is pregnant, resumed as usual in the morning, finished up my hair (she'd done it the thursday before but I wanted it a little bigger) and then proceeded to attend to another customer. I noticed she'd been in and out of the toilet a few times and I even saw her carrying a bucket one time as the WC hadn't filled up quickly enough for her to flush the next time she used it.

She came to me and said she wasn't feeling well and needed to leave so I said not a problem. At this time, we were running low on kinky extensions and I quickly left to buy in the next street - spent about 10 minutes and drove back to the salon.


I got back and noticed one of my customers running to her car and another one trying to flag me down. I wasn't sure what was going on and I wound down to hear what one was trying to tell me and the next thing I heard was 'Yetunde has had her baby!'

I've never been so confused in all my life. So I park and rush to the salon and there she is on the ground outside with somebody using a shampoo cape to give her some privacy. I was astounded - to further astound me, this woman proceeded to pull the placenta out of her with everyone screaming at her. I rushed to get some nurses to come clean and wrap up the baby but as I was getting back with them, 2 customers drove past me having decided to take her to the hospital.


Where the baby was born
As it turns out, when I drove off to buy the hair, she took her bag, said she was leaving and left the salon. About 5 minutes later, a guy rushes in to the salon screaming that they need to come and help one of 'your staff'.


They rushed out and found her on the floor with a baby coming out of her.



Thankfully, mother and baby are doing well and I'll keep checking up on them to be sure everything is okay.

So this is the hair that my Superwoman Yetunde fixed for me oh! Loll.


Ombre 30

 My usual crochet braids and I mixed an ombre 30 with some color 27 for this yummy blonde big hair look. Decided to add a bit of dramatic color to my crochet braids this time around - whaddaya think? :)

She did a great job on your hair- I like it! I just installed my trusted Freetress Brazillian. I went crazy and instead of doing a 1B as usual, I did a ... 1. Lol! I used to do different colors but since getting married, I've decided not to shock my hubby too much. :)
