    Sorry another non hair stylist here although my new hairdresser did instagram miracles when she coloured and trimmed off the dead stuff recently.

    Ooh what lovely hair Sallyforth.  

    Another nine hair doer here, I’ve long blonde and pink hair that I wear almost always up in a quick messy bun, or a sideways plait.

    I have never been a hair doer. Mine is long (I havent been to a hairdresser in years) thin and just gets shoved into a pony tail.

    I have quite fine, quite thick hair with a distinct wave. It's taken me yeeeears to find someone who can cut it how I like it with layers (it's mid back length on me), and I now have longer a relationship with my hairdresser than with Mr KK!  ;) 

    I describe my hair as wash and sleep on it. I can't dry it too much as the cuticle fluffs up, so I wash it in the evening, spray the front hair line with WOW and comb it back, leave it to air dry, blow dry just the roots and a little bit the top surface and then sleep on it. It generally comes out looking okay with all the waves going the right way.

    Another no-hairspray one here.  Very short, wash & let it dry, then if I feel in the mood, wax & run my hands through to make it all stick up.  When washing hands in alien bathrooms, look at available towels, go uck really & run hands through hair.  Many years ago though I used to use an awful lot, especially when my hair started off as a ponytail on top of my head.  I saw an advert recently & she was doing various versions of a ponytail saying how new they were.  They weren't.

    Ha thanks all, I feel a bit better at my lack of hair styling now 😁
    @Sallyforth wow! Do you feel fantastic or are you secretly annoyed that you're going to have to maintain it 😂

    Happy Friday everyone 🍻

    Usuals

    Shower and hairwash, tried the hairspray. It seems my rogue side bits of hair that stick out are largely untameable. I don't think making them solid with hairspray has improved things tbh. I look like a Highland Cow

    Hour online chair yoga. We were just coming to the end when I saw a mouse in my living room! We live at the top of a block of flats!
    I have remained zen but the sun got saluted pretty brusquely

    THANKS @foxgloves 😂
    I left the flat door open and announced in a clear voice to adjoining rooms that it was open and was the way downstairs to the main door. I will assume that worked until and unless made to think otherwise
