    I have mid length hair, people always ask me why i dont have it longer :mad:. The reason is it just doesn't suit me long, plus it always gets in a crappy condition, and takes more hair dye when its longer.

    I'm also blessed with naturally straight hair though i think curls look good :) and if i had curly hair dont think id straighten it.

    In my experience it means: dress in what other people want or think you should wear, NOT what you feel comfortable in!

    Using straighteners doesn't actually damage the hair, unless of course you burn it! They actually help to protect it by closing the cuticles and sealing in moisture and natural oils. The negative ions created by the ceramic plates also help to neutralise the naturally present positive ions, preventing it from becoming dry and frizzy.

    Yeah,they 'prevent' that while in use.A cold blast seals the cuticles too.

    That amount of heat on your hair is not good for it and will damage it

    My mother has been on at me to 'Cut your hair darling, you can't wear it long now you've hit 40'.

    No way - it's nearly waist length, and there it will stay.

    I sometimes wear clothes from my silly punk/goth days too.

    But there are a few items of clothing that no woman of any age should wear.

    See-through leggings

    Strappy, tight '6 boob' tops

    Thongs visible over trouser waistbands

    Onesies

    It funny how visible thongs are almost universally derided yet visible bra straps are not.

    My new hairdresser likes to use them , but I just wouldn't buy any. I don't think his once every couple of months fiddling with my hair will cause much damage but I just cannot imagine it every day. For a start.....I couldn't be bothered with the time to take my mop to sleek when, IMO, it looks just fine curly...:o.
