What's the daftest beauty/fashion advice you were ever given as a youngster?. Washing my hair this morning triggered a memory of when I was about 15 and was told that rubbing vaseline into your hair after washing, them rinsing it out would make it really shiny and smooth ( this was before hair straighteners were invented)
So of course I tried it. What a disaster. I was in the bathroom for about 3 hours trying to rinse out the claggy mess I had created, with my mother shouting what the hells going on in there?
It was mortifying and took about 2 weeks and 2 bottles of shampoo to shift it!!
Another friend was told to rinse her freshly washed hair in vinegar to make it shiny. She came to school smelling like a fish and chip shop for about a week 😆😆
