Last Thursday, I lost approximately 40% of my hair. Oh, don't worry: this isn't the story of some traumatic event that made my hair fall out overnight (Although, to be totally honest, the thought of having to live with my natural hair after 6 months with extensions WAS pretty traumatic...): it ...
It's now been almost 5 months since I had my Great Lengths hair extensions fitted, and I'm happy to say, they're still going strong. Great Lengths say their extensions can last for up to six months if they're looked after properly (I will literally cry when mine have to be removed. ...
ACT ONE: It BeginsScene 1: A generic, blogger-bedroom, decorated in shades of pink and grey. AMBER is sitting at the dressing table, staring disconsolately at her refection. Her hair appears to have the texture and consistency of straw. AMBER: I don't know... it's like, my hair used to look OK? But ...
When I mentioned I was getting Great Lengths hair extensions, everyone was a little bit surprised. And by "everyone" I mean, "my mum". And by "surprised," I mean, "aghast". "What do you want hair extensions for?" she asked, horrified. "Your hair's lovely the way it is! Are you going to end ...
(This post is sponsored by Paul Mitchell) Well folks, the postpartum hair loss has officially started. Hey, isn't pregnancy just TONS o'fun?So, to be totally honest, the hair loss started a few weeks ago: the only reason you haven't heard me whining incessantly about it yet is because, so far, it ...
I might not have gotten that thick, lustrous pregnancy hair I was promised, but my hair has been looking a little better lately - not because of pregnancy hormones, but because of this little duo: I know: this photo would've been a whole lot nicer if the two bottles were the ...
Me, looking back at these photos: "Wow, I look way, way too excited to just be drying my hair here!" TERRY: "Yeah, I know, I thought that when I was taking them: I was like, 'Calm down, dude, it's just a hairdryer..." Naturally, though, it didn't occur to him to share this ...
I've always been what my mum fondly - at least I think it's "fondly"- refers to as "an ad-man's dream," because I only have to see something on TV once, and I will want to buy it. Actually, I'm SO suggestible in this respect that Terry's now taken to watching TV ...
For the past couple of years, I've been regularly singing the praises of Superdrug's Colour Effects wash-in conditioning colour. This product costs all of £1.99 (And it's normally on special offer, too, so you'll get it for even less than that), and the 'Warm Copper Gold' shade was exactly the right shade ...
Lately my hair has been absolutely impossible to curl. I mean, my hair is ALWAYS pretty much impossible to curl, so no surprises there, really: I have the kind of stick-straight hair that can look fabulously curly a few minutes after I finish doing it, and then be right back to ...
In my head, I basically look like a cross between Lana del Rey and Scarlett O'Hara. It's honestly a bit of a bummer every morning when I wake up, look in the mirror, and realise I actually look nothing like either of them. The perils of a vivid imagination, huh? Anyway, there's ...
I've been asked a few times now for a post on how to use heated rollers (or how I use heated rollers, rather...) so today's the day Ima make those dreams come true. (Today's also the day I'm going to stop talking like that, because I really don't know what came over ...
Last year, I bought my third Babyliss Big Hair Rotating Styler. The previous one had died that morning, right in the middle of blow-drying my hair, and once Terry had examined the patient and concluded that it was beyond his help, I went straight to my computer to order a replacement ...
SCENE 1: Bedroom. AMBER is lazing in bed, probably looking at Instagram or some other such nonsense. TERRY enters, accompanied by RUBIN, and tosses a mysterious brown package on the bed. TERRY: You've been online shopping again, haven't you? AMBER: Not I! This will be those Aveda samples they said they'd send ...
This product was another TK Maxx find, so I have to begin this post by apologising if it's difficult to track down online. It's Edward Beale Ultra Gloss Argan Oil, and I've so far only been able to find it on Australian sites - and, of course, at good ol' TK ...
