Confession is good for the soul, go ahead and unburden yourself! I promise I won’t judge.
Well Aunty Brown I need to confess a truly terrible crime against beauty. I have many sins, but this one is probably my worst crime...
I love my GHDs – I cannot describe what a difference they have made to my life, turning my hair from a frizzy mess to sleek and smooth. When I wash my hair I just leave it to dry naturally – I almost never use my hair dryer. I then straighten it. And I confess that I can be impatient and often I straighten my hair before it is dry. My hair makes sizzling noises, steam comes off it – surely this isn’t good for my hair?! And sometimes, my hair isn’t just a little damp and I use my GHDs to actually dry my hair. Does this explain my split ends?

| You do WHAT with your GHDs?! |
There, don’t you feel better now?
A little! I promise to get more acquainted with my hairdryer!
Aunty Brown has a few more questions though; it’s true that I’m the nosy type.
When was the last time you visited the hairdresser?
About a month ago and I wish I hadn’t! I’ve been growing my hair long for the last 18 months, and although I’ve been having regular-ish trims, she took quite a bit off (aforementioned split ends) so I’ve got a bit more growing to go.
Which bit of beauty trickery couldn’t you live without?
I’m not that into trickery, but I’ve discovered the joy of underarm waxing this year and I’m a convert. I also never leave the house without concealer.
You’ve overslept and have 5 minutes to get out of the house. Are you going out with dirty hair or no makeup?
Dirty hair! I can’t leave the house without makeup, but my hair can just be pulled back.
Which trend still makes you cringe?
There was a trend in the mid-nineties for white nail polish – like Tippex. I wore it religiously every weekend for about 6 months (I wasn’t allowed to wear it for school). I’m sure I even tried using Tippex to do the look.

My hair is cringing at the thought!
ReplyDeleteI know TBBB loves her GHD's but there are actually Remington Wet2Straight straighteners that I have heard good things about
I remember the white nail polish!! I think I was still a preteen, when nail polish meant nothing to me, and I saw a woman with white nails. I then proceded to tell my mother that that silly woman has covered her fingernails in Tippex! Hahahahah
ReplyDeleteGreat confession, I enjoyed it :)
xDD I don't remember the white nail polish trend but I do remember being bored in high school (early 2000s) and painting my nails with tippex. Heee.
ReplyDeleteWet to straight straighteners would probably be a good investment for me! Glad I'm not the only one who remembers the Tippex nails!
