Is Beer good for your hair

I was out on Friday night, dancing away, minding my own business when all of a sudden *splat* Covered from head to toe with BEER!  Oh my god, can you imagine….. after spending an hour straightening my hair I was covered!  Not only was my hair wet but it was sticky too!  Now i’m thinking – disaster!! But low and behold, I went into the loo to try and fix the mess and, although it had gone a bit kinky, it was actually set into position by the stickyness. Granted it didn’t smell great but it actually looked pretty good!! 

So next time you get your hair wet when your out in public, pour some beer over it and you’ll be good to go

My GHD’s

Now obviously most people who have hair anything like mine at some point or another have used GHD’s. I am no different and am a proud owner of the mk 4 (i think) and although I love then for giving me straight locks which last longer than the journey to work, I have to say it’s not all good news.

Maybe it’s just me, but I was so over excited to be able to have straight hair that I used them every day – twice if I was going out – and now, I can’t get my hair to go curly for the life of me! 

I never had what you would call well shaped curls but it was curly none the less, even if there was a ridiculous amount of frizz. But now, the roots go really curly, but the ends of my hair are so limp and fluffy, I look as though i’m trying for a really dodgy afro and, get this; the only way I can get curly hair now is to curl it with my GHD’s!! It’s like i’ve completely reversed my lifelong problem – I always wanted it straight, now I want it curly again. It’s true what they say: The grass IS always greener on the other side!

Good hair, Bad hair

Hi All

Here’s the deal;  I have curly hair – scratch that…. Fluffy hair! – and I can’t help sometimes feeling that the universe is playing some cruel trick on me as i’m surrounded by shiny, sleek maines at work, on the tube, in the nightclubs etc. etc.  Or what really gets me down…. Other curly haired people that have been blessed with the wild, carefree sexy curls that I can only achieve with bizarre twisty roller thingys and 2 cans of hairspray, and even then they only last an hour! 

My goal is to find other poor but otherwise beautiful individuals like me to share their bad hair stories, and give the rest of us tips & advice on hair care products, managable hair cuts & straighteners that have actually worked for you. So go on, dig out your worst frizzed photo – your best disaster story or your best frizz free tip and help out your fellow curly sisters
