Ethelbloggs your hair looks amazing - honestly was it easy to do and did you have help or did you do it yourself. Really want to do mine but wont start tonight if it will take too long. Your advice would be most appreciated. Thanks

Start to finish it took about 2 maybe 2n a half hours. I didn't bother with the strand test and just left the stuff on for the max 40 mins.. it was no more difficult than putting a hair dye on really... worst part is keep pulling the kinks out cos you can't see whats going on at the back, lol and my stubborn hair kept trying to curl up, for that i would say get someone to help but I did it by myself and it came out ok.

Other thing i would say might be important is the bit where you have to blow dry and do it with straighteners when you rinse off... make sure you straighten it properly.. I didn't and I think that might be why I got a few kinks

I'm really happy with it tho.. I keep running my fingers thru and its amazing cos they go all the way down without getting tangled

IamBroke i have used the voucher on its own with no minimum spend no problems - i just bought a snactuary produce. The terms dont say a minmum spend so thereshould be no reason for the sa to say anything.I use the old chestnut " i have spoken to head office and they said it was fine " if anyone queries anything

Thanks Cat! I just wrote a reply and it magically disappeared :mad:

Anyways, yes thats what I thought when I looked at the voucher as it doesnt say anything but as the SA handed me the voucher she said "you can use it to save £2 when you spend £10". Maybe she was trying to discourage me to come back!!

ethel did you have to use more than one box? its just with hair dye my hair is that long and thick i have to use 2 boxes and wondered if it would be the same with the straightening stuff?

Oh i remember one more question..!

Can the £2 vouchers be used on hand cream, or does that not count as bathing as you dont put it in the bath

Wow ethel that is amazing- lovely & straight. Never thought you could get that effect from a home product .Amazing , plus you look great


However im sorry this scaredy cat still doesnt have enough courage :rotfl: - its taken me too long to get used to curls. Unlike you I think i look older with straight hair, i can hide behind me locks.

I didn't mind my curls too much, just got tired of it taking so long to wash and brush n all that.. and I fancied a change, lol. Btw.. it didn't affect the colour in my hair at all.. i did that last week hehe. Some people say it strips the dye out.. but mine is fine.

If I go blonde I look ancient.. did it once and ppl thought I was in my forties.. at the time I was 18!! so I deffo won't be doing that again.

b/f's away this weekend, he'll get the shock of his life when he gets home tomorrow night :eek:

One was just about enuff the three pots are a fair old size .. hair dye is same for me, need 2 boxes.. but the way around that is to have your hair a bit wet when you dye it.. so it's a bit flatter, lol

:eek: Thats even better to know, i got dh to help me last time and he was more of a hindrance than a help, plus i reckoned he didnt put enough cream on! I had a fringe at the time and had to cut it afterward, which took about another hour, but something else to bear in mind for those with fringes.

You really should've done a strand test:eek: , there is a long thread on another messageboard and a few have done a strand test, and gone no further:eek: I cant remember if i did, but i knew it would be ok anyway, ive been dying my hair for about 20 years now and never had a problem except with the smell:rotfl:

my serum sold for £17.56 not bad for the 7ml sample size x2.I was wondering don't people who lose a bid look for another at a lower price or do they just want to win that particular item its weird i saw another serum which went unsold at 99p plus 99p postage-that would have been cheaper to buy than mine.
