I gasped and touched my head, feeling the odd burn, and leaned my head back into the water to see
about rinsing it off.
Was my head having a reaction to the conditioner?
While I was rinsing my hair, I opened the bottle up and frowned.
There looked to be two different kinds of conditioner in the bottle. One a bright orange while the
other was a lilac-blue.
What the hell?
I frowned and ran my fingers through my hair, thankful that the burn was now disappearing.
Only, when I brought my hand to my face, I saw large clumps of my hair clinging to my fingers.
But, it wasn’t enough that I would’ve been too freaked out.
Instead, I decided to take some Benadryl, never use the conditioner again, and go to bed.
Hopefully by tomorrow, it wouldn’t feel bad any longer.

The next morning, I woke up and knew something was seriously wrong.
My head wasn’t just burning today.
It was on fire.
Also, as I picked my head up off the pillow, I felt a clump of my hair fall into my face.
At first, I was thinking it was just a lock of hair that’d escaped the bun that I usually slept with it in.
But then I realized that not only was it a lock of hair, it was a lock of hair that was attached to my ponytail… that was not attached to my head.
Meaning that I had my entire ponytail of hair… in my hand.
That’s right around the time that I screamed.
