Title: Chapter 3 — The Hairstyle Experiments
Over the following week, Arjun's female colleagues became increasingly interested in his hair.
Priya suggested a neat ponytail for work. Another colleague, Kavya, showed him how to create a French braid. Meera, who loved fashion, brought several ribbons and hair clips from home.
At first, Arjun resisted their suggestions. He was uncomfortable with everyone gathering around him, discussing his appearance as if he were a mannequin.
However, when Kavya patiently demonstrated how to divide his hair into three sections, he became curious.
“Let me try it myself,” he said.
His first braid was uneven, and everyone laughed—not cruelly this time, but at the result. Arjun laughed with them.
Over the next few days, he learned to make a low ponytail, a loose side braid, and a half-up hairstyle secured with a small clip.
He discovered that he enjoyed the creativity involved in styling his hair. What he disliked was being treated as though he had no say in what happened to it.
He began setting boundaries: anyone could offer suggestions, but he would decide which style to wear.
