Goodness, gracious, great [cotton] balls of fire!

As I mentioned in my recent post about my time in Turkey, I definitely got a hot haircut…literally! I was stumped when I saw the guy grab a cotton ball, attach it to a stick, and then douse it in purple fluid…that is, until I saw him light it on fire. At that point, I was freaking out. The haircut was so far, so good, too!
The first time he hit my face with his cotton ball of fire, I freaked out and exclaimed, “What the !@^$?!”, which made him jump and scream something back at me in Turkish. I took a breath, and let him continue to hit my face. Not my usual haircut back in the states, but I’d definitely try it again!
