What happens when a black persons electric hot comb breaks?

So what does happen when a black persons electric hot comb breaks? Madness is what. So if you don't know what a flat comb is then here's a picture:
 So in short it's just a metal comb that you plug in and it get's really hot and it straightens your hair, like from the roots.

I have been very grateful for this thing

Mine isn't this exact one but it's pretty similar!







Now since I am a clumsy person I drop, spill, and just in general mess up a lot of things so I will be the first one to admit that I've dropped my straightener plenty of times
And this recent drop I guess was too much...it was it's last drop
Now this is what mine looks like:
As you can see the bottom part is no longer connected and it may look like I can just pop it back on but that's not the case unfortunately...SO, this means I cannot straighten my hair properly which is not a good thing. Now yes, I do have other electric straightening items but they aren't a "comb" type they're are just regular flat heads or whatever so I have to use the "back in the day" kind of hot comb that is like super old and hard to use.










Now you must think why not just buy another one? Well, since i know I am a clumsy fool I payed for 2 year insurance when I purchased it. So that's great! They should be able to fix it and everything for F R E E! Yayyy! Except I have to send the broken one to them and then I have to wait for them to send me a new one or a gift card with the money to purchase a new one. This is quite frustrating because I thought insurance would allow me to just go in the store and get a new one just like that but Nooooo why would it be that easy? Nah, my hair is not... um how should i say- nice. So therefore I have to straighten and do my hair EVERYDAY. So I am going to be without it for at least a week or more. I have "nigga naps" so this is going to prove to be difficult.

I guess I'm just going to have to try and master the back in the day hot comb because I am black and I unfortunately cannot let my hair just "be". I'm looking forward to all of the burns and frustration that is to come... )':

Eyebrows...

Alriighty so this is my first issue here...I like to get my eye brows waxed because it last longer than just using nair which is what i used to do. I'm like i'm willing to pay 8 dollars to remove hair with hot wax so my eyebrows will look nice for atleast a week. SO, yesterday i decided to go get them done at a different place than i did before. I noticed as i walked in-- actually my mumma noticed that it was only 7 dollars compared to the 8 that i had recently paid. I was like wow maybe i can keep coming here since i save a dollar. So i wait for them to say i can go. I notice a guy is going to be doing it. At first i was like that's really weird because i'm used to girls doing it. So i sit in the chair and i have my music with me because it gets me through everything. And he says something but i don't understand what he says so i was just like "uh huh! Yeah..." and then he was like "your mom?" and i was like "yeah". Assuming he was asking if that was my mom i was with. So anyways he starts doing it and it hurt a little but then he shows me when he was done...and THIS is what i was unfortunately shown
WHAT THE EFF. Now some miight say those don't even look bad, but let me explain myself a little further...










When you're used to this:
Yeah it looks pretty crazy compared to this...AND I KNOW. It will grow back and i'm so grateful that it's not permanent or anything. But i have a feeling it had to do with the fact that it was guy. He obviously didn't know what he was doing...I was so upset that i seriously was in a bad mood like the whole time me and my mumma went to the store...LIKE why are they so skinny? I honestly feel like he asked me did i want them skinny when he was talking to me but i couldn't understand what he was saying really. So in reality this could just be 100 % my fault ): And the thing that really sucks more than having skinny eyebrows is that to get them back to the way i want them i'm going to have to let them grow ALL the way back, fully. And so i will have to have Caterpillars on my face before i can get them back to the shape i want them. If you're reading this, please, i reiterate, please make sure you let people know what you want, because if you don't like me, you'll look like a whore at 17. And i didn't even save a dollar because not only did i not like the way it turned out, he didn't get all the little hairs below my eyebrows that you can't really see in the picture because it's a webcam...So it reality i didn't save jack squat.
