"O fikri seviyorum" sounds very turkenglish. Why dont we just say "I like the Ramazan month"; "Ramazan ayını seviyorum."

 I´m surprised to hear that. Do you usually request a wash/massage or is included when you go to have a normal cut? Never have I had it done, and I  to ask them to dry my hair after the cut as well (which definitely should be included). My husband always gets the whole ordeal even though he doesn´t request anything besides a cut. Once I went with my dad and they pampered him too, so I figured it is a gender thing.

Other than being cheap I don´t have the best experiences with turkish hairdressers, male or female. This spring I wanted to have it dyed with a 30 day rinse out type of product, but none of the "best" hairdressers in town didn´t know what it was {#lang_emotions_wtf}

From my home country I´m used to the whole package being included, and the hairdresser caring and investing some thought as to what hairdoes suit their client, whereas in Turkey, anywhere that I have been it´s more of a get-in-get-out type of experience.

 

 I´m as well shocked about your experiences. My experiences seem like the opposite of yours. Unlike you, I have always been asked either to go to the washing directly or if my hair was clean and I would like to have it washed. 80-90% of the time it was a male, usually a young male helper. Most of the time I have been pleased with their way of treatment in Turkey, they have never left my hair wet. In netherlands, once I went to an hairdresser where the woman did not dry my hair, she told me that they took additional price for it. In my opinion, hairdressers are quite popular in Turkey and some women go there few times a week, though I wonder if the difference is because of the city, because I have never gone to any hairdresser outside Istanbul in Turkey.

What are you planning to eat for Iftar today?

 

 Catwoman, I found you very interested in "oruç", why don´t you try fasting one day?

It sounds like an armenian word.

In Turkey it´s not normal for a woman to have their hair washed or massaged at the hairdresser. It´s only standard for men. They simply have a clerk to spray water on the hair so it´s wet enough to cut.

 

 I have been going to hairdresser in Turkey since I was born, from cheap, simple hairdressers to more expensive ones, and they are generally males and they have all washed my hair and massaged my sculp as well.

You know I had an expirence something similar to you. This male-hair dresser was putting a small towel around my neck, I felt wird,  I think because the hair dresser was a male and I have not have a male hairdresser before. I immedlitly responded. I  took that towel saying: I can do it.. It worked. And next time I went there I had wore turtle-neck top {#lang_emotions_lol}

 

 Because he was putting a towel around your neck? It´s something every hair dresser does and it´s a part of their job.

I still don´t know what İftar Çadırı is and what these tents are all about...

 

 "İftar" is the time when you break your fast and eat. In these tents there are meal offered to people for iftar.

I haven´t done a great research about the affects of fasting, but in my opinion leaving the body without water for 12-13 hours in summer days should not be healthy at all.

 

And whether it´s true or not, just because someone claims something that contradicts with a religion cannot be considered like an insult unless you live in a religious state. And sorry if some people find it offending but defending your opinion by saying "Ofcourse it´s true because Allah said it" is just ridiculous where someone makes a scientific claim since the existence of God has not been proved scientifically.
