I don't dye my hair any more. I don't like the hairdressers because of the chatting, but I quite like the head massage. Because I was leaving such a gap between visits, I'd end up with huge roots so it wasn't worth it.
I just wear my hair down or in a bobble most of the time. I use clips on my fringe to hold it out of my eyes because hair going in my face makes me irrationally annoyed.
I tried the curly girl method as I do have a wave but it was so awful. I cannot stand any product in my hair at all. My head becomes itchy and I'm really irritated till I can wash it.
