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.

I'm the same, I cba with it! I do use them occasionally though, or like you say, at the hairdressers....they make a much better job of it than me! My hair is pretty much straight anyhow tbh.

Nope, I'm sure you can google

Only finding marketing rubbish and no science. I haven't been so disappointed since they took the word "gullible" out the dictionary.

I was only repeating what my hairdresser told me years ago. I had no reason not to believe her. Perhaps I'm more gullible than I thought.

Its easy to do.

Do I remember correctly you are a vet or in animal sciences? You must see it all the time with things like feeds and supplements....I do it with those things too. Ultimately I think the answer is to do the research then listen to your own experience. I don't feed dried feeds where I have realistic option to feed something else, because my personal experience is that its better (possibly relating to other variables in the way I keep my animals) when they eat predominantly wet foods and raw foods.

Similarly, my hair looks best when I minimise hair drying use, minimise shampoo use. Surely its easy to experiment with ones own hair and giving up straighteners. The only caveat of course, is that often giving up something that is a plaster covering cracks means things look worse before they get better!:D

I always reckoned "dress your age" was a comment that your BMI was a bit too visible. Usually driven by jealousy, and stuff all to do with individual style, alas.
As for cutting your hair at 40 - I see it at work & think it's daft. The tragedy is seeing glorious natural thick healthy grey/white hair either being cropped or coloured...

Not looking years younger from the back than you do from the front, there are some fashions strictly for the young, being slim doesn't always mean it looks good.

Yes, hairdressing is hard science, up there with physics and chemistry, obviously a reliable source.
I fail to see how heating a ceramic plate would make anions. Or how your hair would make cations.

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

bah anyone can wear a onesie...just as long as you don't venture outside in it.

That said i only wear mine when my bf isn't visiting and i'm alone

To be honest, I hadn't given it any serious thought. It was only whilst straightening my hair yesterday that this thread popped into my mind and I recalled what my hairdresser had said many years ago, rightly or wrongly. My hair is usually quite 'wiry' and tends to frizz easily if left to it's own devices. When straightened it's sleek and glossy so one would assume the explanation I was given was at least partially correct. My hair dryer also has an ionic feature button.

Correlation is not causation. (I got some more ions in there).
