I'm one of those people whose hair affects their entire day. The saying "bad hair day", represents a bad day period. I sit at my desk and stare at my reflection in the mirror that's perfectly positioned on my desk so I see myself all day long. When my hair is on point, I smile at how cute I look and confidently go about my day. Catch me on a bad hair day and I am absolutely unproductive. I mean it - I just sit there and daydream of the perfect do. Long, short, curly, straight, dreadlocks, braids or twists...the list goes on. On a good hair day, this ritual does not last long because I'm completely content. However, on a bad hair day, this ritual goes on until I make the call to my lover, the Damn Salon. Once I confirm my appointment, it's like foreplay. The excitement begins as I anticipate climaxing at the reflection of my new do. My name is Kanko and I'm a fashion stylist who believes that looking your best brings success in every aspect of your life. If you look good, you feel good, and once you feel good then ah, ah, ah, ahhhhhh...sky's the limit!!
