A Bad Hair Day... of all days!

Hey, it's me, Phil.

Alright, let's set you up on the situation for the day, and let's tackle it from a female POV.

Finally, your best friend is getting married, and you have been chosen as a bridesmaid. Of course you have to look pretty and all (you'll never know - your future groom may be amongst the crowd in attendance), so you get your hair styled by a close friend.

During the hairstyling process, she asks you not to look at the mirror (she wants it to be a "surprise"). After two hours of painstaking hairstyling, she gives you the go-ahead to check yourself out.

Indeed, you are surprised, but not in a good way - your hairstyle isn't the "hot, hot, hot" effect your hairstylist friend described, but rather the "just woke up" disaster.

Things get worse. According to your beautiful silver watch, there's only one and a half hour left before the wedding starts.

Do you head for the wedding and hope they don't think it's that bad, or do you head for the parlor and hope your situation can be fixed in less than 1 and 1/2 hours? Or, worst of all, do you decide to ditch the wedding altogether?
