It’s just a bloody haircut!!

Am I the only one who’ll go mad if they read about another so-called celebrity’s ‘stunning hair transformation’?! No one just has a haircut anymore, or gets their roots done - it’s ALWAYS a ‘hair transformation’. Waist length to a pixie cut? Yes, that’s a transformation. Ebony black to platinum blonde? Yes. A few highlights or some layers through the front? No!

‘Belinda Bogbrush, star of ITV Be smash hit ‘When Celebrity Smears Go Wrong’ stunned fans with her latest hair transformation’ - no she bloody didn’t! She got bored in lockdown one of those pink rinses you can get in Superdrug for three quid! It’ll have washed out by next Tuesday!

‘Colonic irrigator to the stars Caramelina Chutney-Sandwich, 32, stunned viewers when she appeared on ‘Famous Faces at the Fishmongers’ last week sporting a longer than usual version of her trademark blonde bob. But today, fans were floored by the transformation when she was photographed stepping out for a quarter of mint imperials, her signature style looking fresher and brighter than ever’. She’s just had a trim and her highlights topped up, for Christ’s sake!

Yes, I know it’s petty in the extreme, but it gets right on my tits.

You forgot to mention that said celebrities will also 'debut' their transformation. What the fuck is that all about!

Agreed

I feel this way about news headlines in general.

Open up any main stream media website. It's full of clickbait style headlines previously sneered upon as being the grotty domain of gutter tabloid press.

I despair.

You are so absolutely not unreasonable.

😂🤣
You have made me chuckle OP, I agree wholeheartedly!

You've cheered me right up OP! And yanbu, obviously

I think a lot of celebs ‘Flaunt’ their half an inch trim

SarahAndQuack · 02/11/2020 23:03

I think if it's bothering you this much, you should probably step away from social media for a bit.

Have you had a sense of humour bypass?

And don’t forget pregnant celebrities “flaunting their baby bump” - it can never simply be a question of just leaving the house whilst happening to be pregnant....

SarahAndQuack · 02/11/2020 23:11

Oh dear, was there something funny that I missed?

justgeton · 02/11/2020 23:11

'Blossoming baby bump'

🤢Barf

EveryDayIsADuvetDay · 02/11/2020 23:12

Be more selective about what you read or subscribe to?Hmm
I consider I get a reasonable array of news and current affairs, no mentions of any celebrity hair style that I recall.

I thought your OP was brilliant.
Fabulous writing!

Thank you

YANBU I was wondering today if these articles are just click bait?

MercyBooth · 02/11/2020 23:21

Actually i will be very interested to see which celebs hair mysteriously stops growing during this lockdown and the ones who turn into professional hairdressers overnight.

BashfulClam · 02/11/2020 23:27

My mum used to buy The Sun (for some sorta token). They were obsessed with Princess Diana, she once had an inch cut off her hair, the full colour pictures spread over the first three pages in full. Literally it was a trim of an inch, there was something important happening in the world (I can’t recall due to it being 30 years ago) but Di’s trim was more important.

Alternista · 02/11/2020 23:27

Don’t you dare step away from the internet. I need you to write a book Grin

GlummyMcGlummerson · 02/11/2020 23:27

Hahahaha that really made me laugh OP!

MercyBooth · 02/11/2020 23:28

30 years ago what springs to mind is the 1990 poll tax riots.

MrsMoastyToasty · 02/11/2020 23:31

Wasn't Belinda Bogbrush "seen cannoodling " and having "an intimate dinner " with British actor Suave Bastard-Ohjamaflip...

You've made my night OP.

Can't believe some people are getting uppity about this thread, I wonder if it's because they're secretly the celebrity naff hair flaunters and you've hit a nerve 🤭
