Per month or per year? Including cuts, dyes, styling, hair mousse or spray, extensions, curling, straightening, etc.

Hair cut and colour every seven weeks - £65 a time
Expensive shampoo, conditioner and styling products - £80 every few months (I but HUGE pump tubs of shampoo, etc and the kids use it too)
Hairdryer - I bought one for £15 in boots the other month

I'd say including everything, maybe £800 a year. My hairdresser rescued my horrid, dry, brittle, home coloured hair with a terrible cut and I now have soft, bouncy hair in fabulous condition which is easy to maintain and looks a hundred times better than it did before.

Pixie I think I definitely will get GHD's. I'm fed up with expensive crap straighteners that end up kept in the wardrobe!

Hair cuts/ colours about 300 pounds a year. Decent shampoo £45/50 a year. Havent bought a hair dryer or straighteners for ages.

Do it !They are amazing and so worth the money. I think they even come with a guarentee for either 1 or 2 years cant quite remember.

I am incredibly cross with myself though regarding my GHD straighteners. A little while ago, we moved house and I could not find my GHDs anywhere. They were older ones, and well used. And so I bought some fancy new GHD ones, and used them all of three times....

We then moved house again, and I found a pair of GHD's and thinking they were the much older, used pair threw them out at the tip (or rather, recyled them at the electrical bit at the tip).

Yup, they were the new pair. All I have left is a fancy GHD travel bag. Empty.

I am now refusing to straighten my hair for as long as possible to mentally 'recoop' the cost involved. I am devastated.

last week, I was regaling the above story to my hairdresser who recommended Cloud 9 instead of GHDs (but, doesn't she understand, I have the GHD bag?) Cloud 9 invented GHDs apparently and now under patent law they can release a new design they've done with alterable heat settings.

Haven't looked at them yet though as still too cross with myself.

Cut/colour = £60 every three weeks so £1020 per year + £10 tip each time Shock

Hair products = £100 per year (approx)

Hair gadgets = not an annual cost - have had 2 x pairs of GHDs (one regular/one thick hair) for ages and have "salon" hairdryer that have had for ages.

I do have fabulous hair though

Pixie I will definitely give them a try next time I am buying straighteners.

I need good ones that will straighten curls.

BDSM does have good hair. I nosyed at it. :)

Mine needs a wash and instead is going to get a spritz of dry shampoo. I failed to factor in dry shampoo.
