Greengardenpixie · 03/10/2014 21:20

If i was a roller wearer then probably, yes. Why not? It's hardly a well kept secret that some women have help to make their hair wavy. Why shouldnt people wear them out if they want to go out for the day and still have wavy hair in the evening?

merseyparadise · 03/10/2014 21:31

its everywhere in liverpool

Greengardenpixie · 03/10/2014 21:32

It looks like rollers in hair.

'Looks shit' isnt a statement of fact- it's an opinion.

DiaDuit · 03/10/2014 21:36

I'm sure you wear stuff that 'looks shit' according to other people- should you stop wearing it because someone else has an opinion on it?

Greengardenpixie · 03/10/2014 21:37

Yes, its my opinion. Well why not go the whole hog and wear your P.J's [yes i have seen this done also] There is nothing private about wearing rollers..but they were massive ones. It looked terrible personally speaking. I wouldnt..ever.

What next - going to work in your deep conditioning hair treatment, wrapped in some foil?
It's bizarre.
And bad manners.

Greengardenpixie · 03/10/2014 21:38

Yawn Im too tired for an argument. Yes, im sure i look shit in others eyes. Just wondered if anyone else thought it looked shit too.

Maybe they do- better asking them than me really though.

And bad manners. Confused

People take far too much interest and offence in what strangers wear or do to their own bodies.

Braehead!!l Last Sat?

I saw her, the guy she was with was mortified!

DiaDuit · 03/10/2014 21:43

Nah you just wanted to bitch.

Greengardenpixie · 03/10/2014 21:43

Well..mmm..do they? What if i walked down the road in my pants and knickers. [after my shower..whoops sorry thats another thread!! Wink What the hell!! Its like a bikini!! why should anyone care??

OP posts:
Greengardenpixie · 03/10/2014 21:44

Actually i dont want to bitch. I bitch with my friends..not on here.

OP posts:
DiaDuit · 03/10/2014 21:47

why should anyone care??
I dont personally. Wear what you like or nothing at all if it pleases you- and let others so the same.

passmethewineplease · 03/10/2014 21:47

Is it supposed to look "good" though? Surely that isn't the finished product is it?

so even though rollers in hair might not be the best look maybe it creates a bloody great look?!

I dunno, YABU to care though. I am too busy staring at what others have in their trolleys. Wink Grin
