Kapitel 18: Chapter 18 - Get Ready For The Ball - Part 2
After wearing the dress and jewellery, it was time to do her hair. Eloise did not expect much. Maybe a few braids and she wanted it done fast. But Odette had other ideas.
She took out a scissor like apparatus from one of her bags.
"Um, what is that?" Eloise blinked at it.
"It's your hair tongs," Odette said while she was wrapping it in a small leather bag. "If there was furnace here, it would have been easier, but thankfully we have a brazier. It will do," she inserted the wrapped up tongs in it.
Eloise watched it curiously. "What does it do to my hair?" Odette glanced at her weirdly. 'Shit, I said something weird right....' she smiled a little and whispered, "Well, I did forget a lot when I fell sick."
The maid sadly glanced her way. "My poor miss, I'm sorry I made you remember such a bad memory," she said with tears in her eyes.
'Eh, but I just said I forgot stuff why is she crying!!' Eloise swiftly helped wipe her tears away. "Odette dear, don't waste your tears for something so silly,"
"Miss is suffering. That makes me sad as well," she said, sniffing a little. But soon she regained her composure and wiped her eyes clean. "This is a hair tong miss; we use it to curl hair. Wait, let me show you," the aid gently removed the hot tongs with a towel around the grip.
After unwrapping the leather wrapping, she sectioned Eloise's hair. With a careful hand she wrapped the sectioned hair in the tongs. Lo-and-behold came out as curls.
"'gasp' its ancient heat iron!!! Oh mu god, I didn't expect that at all. I thought you would curl my hair using cloth strips or something," Eloise mumbled in awe. The curl was crisp and beautifully laid on her shoulders.
"Cloth strips take too much time miss, and the curls are not as crisp this method. Since it is a special occasion, I have used this. I usually don't prefer the tongs because the heat might damage your beautiful hair." She said caressing the top of her hair.
Eloise smiled. 'Darling girl, I have done more than that to my hair. Hair perm, hair dye, relaxers....You name it, I have done it. But this seems to be virgin hair,' she caressed her soft tress. "Say Odette, is curly hair in style nowadays,"
"Of course miss, it's a classic look. With curls, the hair is able to hold any kind of hairstyle easily. That's why it's very famous amongst the nobles," Odette whispered while she gently curled her hair. Suddenly there was a sizzle. "Oh my, the brazier was too hot, miss... I burned some of your hair," she said pitifully.
Eloise glanced back at the small strands of hair that were burned off..... 'I see what she meant by it will damage my hair. Looks like I have to create an alternative for this as well.'
After that fiasco, the hair styling went smoother than expected. Odette pinned her curls up whimsically, bringing out the egg shape of her face. She even curled her small side burn hairs into small curls.
Overall, it was so beautiful that even Eloise was overwhelmed by this. "This looks wonderful!! Great Job Odette," she praised her immensely.
The little maid blushed. "Enough praising me miss, I have to decorate your hair," she pulled out a huge head piece that was decorated with blue flowers and blue diamonds. It literally screamed 'I am a rich bitch'
Just eyeing that horrendous thing, Eloise's eye twitched. "Wait, wait, how much sparkle do you need to add?"
"I want miss to be the woman in the room," the maid said without any hesitation.
"Yeah beautiful, not tacky. Let avoid the hair thing for now. Isn't always better to be modest,"
Odette pouted, but she listened to her and gave up on that hair piece. "But we need to do something for your hair, or else you would look bare," she frustratingly searched through the huge wooden crate filled with jewellery. Every piece in there was extravagant and loud. Eloise did not like a single of them.
"Miss~~~" Odette held out a small crown like piece with blue gems.
Eloise shook her head firmly. "You just want something in my hair, right? Wait." opening her vanity drawer, she took out a nicely rolled up blue ribbon. "Use this,"
"But... but.."
"No buts, use this and do whatever you want. I am not adding any extra weight on my head," Eloise firmly said, shutting the maid's chatter.
"Fine, I will make sure your ribbon is the best in the room," Odette optimistically got to work. She weaved the small ribbon through her small curls. The small blue ribbon peaked out through her stark white hair and the ends were tied up in a huge bow near the nape.
"This is more like it," Eloise gave her a thumbs up.
The maid did not understand this action, so she simply smiled at her. "Miss, next is your makeup," she held out a white powder box to her.
"We still have more!!!! How much longer doo I have to sit here!!" Eloise snapped up and rushed out. ' I am getting food, darn it. Any more seconds and she will definitely polish my skin into porcelain. I'm sure of it,'
