Yes it is very unreasonable to have singed your fringe, poor fringe, how dare you treat it that way?

Memoo · 05/01/2011 11:39

What is a Merkin? Isn't it a fanny wig?

nickschick · 05/01/2011 11:41

I didnt know it was in aibu Grin.

I have no fringle to clip up Angry Grin are u ridicooooling my follicle trauma?

What is a merkin ? is it like a badger??

My hats rely on a smooth fringe at the front other wise I look like Frank Spencer/

I came back from a follicle flounce to check for bloody answers that mught be useful.

Gah.

Will they laugh at me if i go to boots and ask for a product that unsinges hair??

Serum, I did it with those flimsy bits of hair around my forehead that never seem to grow, stuck some anti frizz serum on and it smoothed them back out.

nickschick · 05/01/2011 11:42

FFS memoo you are lowering the tone mentioning the word fanny on my traumatic thread.

Memoo · 05/01/2011 11:44

So Nickschick, I mean is it a ladygarden wig?

SheWillBeLoved · 05/01/2011 11:45

Any will do, I use a crap 'Twisted Sista' one from one of those bargain shops and that worked brilliantly, so I imagine with a better brand you'll having locks that look like tiny strands of silk, woven by pygmy doormice!

SheWillBeLoved · 05/01/2011 11:45

nickschick · 05/01/2011 11:47

It might improve once you have washed it, use a protein rich conditioner, something with keratin, and a bit of silicone too, anti frizz type serum, that kind of thing, and just smooth it on a low heat with a hairdryer, you might find the cuticle realigns itself and settles...

nickschick · 05/01/2011 11:48

I hope so .........

TattyDevine · 05/01/2011 11:49

You know with chinese whispers the gossip is going to be that you singed your minge while trying to straighten your 'hair'

nickschick · 05/01/2011 13:13

only if u start that 'rumour' memoo Grin.

I never learn and regularly cut my own fringe so that I get told off by the hairdresser. So you have my sympathies.
I also managed to singe my hair once by leaning over the cooker to light a fag. Serves me right - but I second the use of product, which has saved many a hairdo Grin
