    She's Iranian so she understands the dilemma of super thick straight hair. Cut it wrong and you look like a triangle head.

    Yep, I always go to hairdressers who do islanders hair or arab hairdressers.

    I had a triangle head for most of my childhood. My mother still does.

    Felt manky for a couple weeks, then my scalp got over it. I run a decent conditioner through it 1-2 times a week to get the dirt n stuff out, and otherwise just a bit of water.
    Hairdressers always go, wow, your hair is in such good condition for it being so curly, what shampoo do you use, and I say "I don't" Laughing

    Every hairdresser I've seen in the last five years has said something along the lines of: "Oh, you shouldn't have straightened your hair, if I wash it, it'll go curly again but I can straighten it for you afterwards if you want?"

    No. Just no. I don't own a straightener. Shut up and cut my hair.

    Sorry about the thread jack, it just makes me mad.

    I spend about $70 a week on food for myself. I have zero cooking skills and my cooking facilities are pretty shite too (I own one pot) so I can't cook anything adventurous. It's mince and mince for me, but I go through a HEAP of fruit. Mandarin season leaves me with a stained orange peeling thumb and unhappy bowels (lol Wai).

    Haha flat hair.

    Honestly, it's frustrating. I was in a school production as a homeless kid and they'd teased my hair for it, by the time I got on stage it was flat again.

    I think hairdressers were just put on this earth to torment us.
    That's why I go to the cheap Just-Cuts type places - they're usually so overworked and underpaid that they can't be bothered making shitty small talk, and just do as I tell them because they don't believe in their abilities enough to think they know my hair better than I do.



    Oh, a fellow triangle-head, I feel your pain!
    I used to feel like that character out of the Dilbert cartoons - Alice? Something like that.
    Now my straighteners mean more to me than life itself.

    Superfine hair. Mine is pretty fine, I just have a shitload of it. I backcombed it for an 80s party recently. It took an hourly backcombing/hairspray to stay backcombed.

    I used to feel the same - but the justcuts people just dont know how to deal with my hair. I'm like "oh yeah it's really thick" and they are like "Yeah ok" and then about an hour in they are like "MAN your hair IS thick" and then two of them have to blow dry it to get it done in less than 10mins.

    So I'm sticking with Rodney Wayne now.

    I have a reasonable amount of hair (hair tie usually only makes two loops) it's just ridiculously flat.

    My hairties last 2 days at most due to stretching. Such a fucking pain.
    Your hair looks like a friend of mine's - who has to wash it practically every day because it's so fine .

    I'm the opposite, I either get my friends who are hairdressers to do it (very selective even then), or I go somewhere expensive and when booking I ask them to make a note that I don't want small talk. <--- works

    I used to spend $400 every 3 weeks getting my locks fried blonde, but I enjoy good service and always got it.

    Mine got stolen by my nephews friend. Worst week of my life.

    ... probably the worst week of my husbands too, miserable wife, and he had no straightners either (he uses them daily, I use them every other day).

    I am most frustrated buy this. I've run out of my fave ties and I can't find new ones anywhere. All I can find now is children's bright colours or the ones that stretch uselessly within a couple of uses. The ones I had were brown and kinda toweling like (for want of a better description), and they lasted for months.

    LOL I've never known of a guy to use straighteners. Even the gay guys I know wouldn't use them.


    Haven't had to use a hair tie in about 4 years, but even back then could never find good ones. The ol scrunchie wasn't too bad with some heavy-duty elastic inside, but they went out with the banana-clips

    Yes, to perfect his hair, I have to say I prefer it to excessive wax, looks and feels better.

    I'm letting him make the most of it.

    Under the dye he is completely grey and it is starting to fall out.

    Some of them, most of them (especially the PI boys) have super short hair and dont do much with it... and are totally going grey at 26. But dont dye it.

    I have much respect for those who choose not to dye their grey hair (male or female) so long as they continue to keep it clean and an age-appropriate style.
