Eek!

I hate going to the hairdresser, I really do. For the last few years I've got round this by doing the good old MN haircut, with varying degrees of success. In between haircuts, I've tended to straighten my hair so it looks vaguely presentable.

Now, two things have happened:

  • The GHDs have died
  • So I tried to cut my hair and totally ballsed it up.

And furthermore, I seem to suddenly have curly hair.
So, I've booked myself into a proper hairdresser on Saturday, and am now very, very nervous indeed. And I haven't got a clue what I want anyway.

So what do I ask for (other than a paper bag to cover my head breathe into)?

(BTW, it's not the pic on the front, the pics are on the next page of profile. And are really awful and will go pfft very soon)

What a pointless comment BearlyThere.

It looks really nice OP.

Solo · 25/02/2012 18:50

Yes, looks lovely! like your colour too.

Ooh its lovely op :)

good cut!

TheMoistWorldOfSeptimusQuench · 25/02/2012 19:00

Thanks yellow and Solo Smile
I'm not completely blown away by it, but its far better than it was. Hairdresser took a bit more off than I'd have planned for as it was just in such a split-endy horrible state.

I am a hair obsessive and I think yours looks really nice. I like the waves and I wouldn't straighten it tbh. I hate going to the hairdresser too, because
a) I can't bear being messed around with
b) I'm worried they'll do something horrid

But it's worth it to get a decent cut.

You look fine... love your frock

A trim and maybe some velcro rollers to add a bit of volume?

ShotgunNotDoingThePans · 25/02/2012 22:30

It's lovely - the curls look soft and romantic.
I did like the way it swept at the front before, but I suspect that's the way it falls naturally and the hairdresser had to give you your money'sworth, so it'll end up that way anyway.

brdgrl · 25/02/2012 23:17

Yup, i like it a lot! The curls look great. Agree with shotgun about the sweep at the front.

ImproperlyAcquainted · 26/02/2012 21:28

Its nice. I like the sweeping fringe but I would wreck it by constantly pushing it back with my fingers.

You are an inspiration. I am going to phone hairdresser for an appointment tomorrow, or possibly the next day. Definitely soon.

Oh. Can't see your profile pics.
Did you change the colour?
