Not a good day at all, no Roc gifts, no ACM, no nothing on offer in York store. Is it just me or is that store tiny? Ending up spending £13 of points on some suncream & a parasol for the pram as it was sooooo hot.

Next to BHS, sorry don't know York that well but maybe that helps. It had 2 floors.

ok my boots babes...i am having no luck asking this question in other places so i thought i would turn to my "family" and ask!!

my hair is straightish/frizzyish and i can never get my curls to stay in as as soon as i step out my hair goes straight and frizzy unless i use a whole can of hairspray but then i just look like a moose!!

so can anyone recommend a good pair of curling tongs....? i have the wide ghd hair straightners so cant use them for curling but would appreciate other recomendations....thanks guys mmmmwwwaaaaaahhhhhh xxxx

i think i just put too much on, it went on like sun cream very white to begin with so i put it on thickly, i also have very fair skin, it will teach me to be more careful though:rotfl:

I got a set of 3 Visiq curling tongs from argos. reduced to £8.++ but u may be able to get them cheaper at boots witht he 50%, parenting, etc etc (i dont really know, coz i am new-ish to boots) i like my visiq ones, coz they are ceramic and dont do much damage to hair.

i think i read a tip somewhere that if you style you hair right after washing and drying them, the 'look' holds for longer.

My SIL has naturally curly hair and for years she had a frizzy problem but since she went to a hairdresser used to dealing with naturally curly hair she has been 100% happy with her hair. She uses John Frieda serum but doesn't use tongs only hair dryer and it always looks really nice.
GHD straightners are really good. If you like them why not go for the thinner option which would do the curls and would be ok to straighten as well.
