Do you bother with it, and how does it make you feel?
I have pretty rubbish hair. Doesn’t grow long, thin, frizzy/curly, snaps easily, never looks healthy.
Over the years I’ve not bothered with it, I guess because it always looks a bit rubbish, it feels hopeless spending money on it so it continues to be crap, so it’s a vicious circle.
I’ve recently been feeling really low about how I look, had a baby, turned 40, lockdown happened……etc Feel like I’ve totally lost my way.
So I decided to make an effort and treat myself to a trip to the hairdresser
I had my first ever professional dye job (only ever done box dye before at home) and a restyle. Spent 4.5 hours in the salon and cost well over £100.
I just naively expected to emerge from the salon feeling a million dollars. But I was so disappointed with the new hair do, and wanted to cry. I tried not to show my dismay as I’m sure the hairdresser (who was lovely) had done her best - it’s not her fault my hair is just naturally crap.
Didn’t help that the lady next to me in the salon had amazing hair and left swishing her mane like Kate Middleton! That’s how I want to feel!
So if you have crap hair, how do you deal with it?! I guess I just need to accept what I’ve got, kind of in the same way someone whose always been a size 16 needs to stop hankering after being a size 8 and learn to dress for their body shape & feel good.
Not even sure why I’m posting, just gutted I spent 5 hours and over £100 on treating myself and came away feeling rubbish .
