I got to thinking. I have fine delicate hair but no matter what I say to the hairstylist about it, they usually do most or all of the following:
Use bleach. (I've realised my hair is too fragile and really needs a break and in fact I should find a different hair colour closer to my own that doesn't require lifting or even gasp skip the colouring altogether for a while whilst my damaged hair recovers)- but they've never said so.
Roughly wash hair, scrubbing hard at the roots.
Roughly towel dry hair like they are drying off a wet shaggy coated dog.
Drag brush through damp hair starting at the roots.
Blow dry hair with hard bristle brush on the highest hairdryer setting, with the nozzle literally touching the brush.
I usually sit there cringing as these things happen. When I first sit down in the chair I always point out first how fine it is and say it's quite delicate (which is really, really obvious) and yet - they do all of the above anyway.
Why?!
