Solitary refinement: a lockdown survival guide
How do you adapt to working from home, keep fit, maintain a social life - and maybe even cut your hair?

I agree, it's very kind. I don't think I could be as selfless.If Lauren is completely on her own, this is quite a sweet thing to do. I am and the dog isn't completely keeping me sane, but he is taking the edge off a bit.

I mentioned it, but I'm a raging witch when it comes to pets and read it completely differently from the dog being a support for L.I think there has been some mention here regarding the dog and Lauren (?!) so I thought I'd share this in case anyone is interested.
Another appropriate quote: Yep.Can't imagine being without a member of my family during lockdown, but "you feel how you feel" right?

Are hairdressers really 'genuinely worried' and having sleepless nights over their clients' hair? I think not.Of course the hairdressers charging extortionate amounts (for those that aren't having #presstreatments which are therefore pushing up the prices for everyone else ) are shitting themselves and urging people not to dye or cut their own hair. Probably because a lot of people will find out they can do their own hair perfectly well thank you and for a miniscule fraction of the cost. Who the hell is going to fritter away £300 or more on a haircut at Hershesons (sp?) even when this is all over? People will rightfully be timid and wary in case this bloody thing comes back. And a lot of people's finances will have changed for the worse.
And I'm really not sure I am comfortable with this awful time being used as an excuse to advertise her own hairdresser. Again.
Exactly. If people stop going to Hershesons - how is she going to get her free hair cuts? This is why influencers are so dodgy. Everything they recommend comes with strings attached, with the result of them benefitting from the arrangement. Hershesons are not going to be happy with her if she says something like 'now is a good time to realise you can look after your own hair perfectly adequately'. They want you be to dependent on them and look on your own hair and body as an alien life form only they understand (at a price).This stupid 'advice' shows how tied SH is to her freebie cuts and colours. A real beauty journalist would be recommending the best hair cutting youtube guides, how to touch up roots and trim fringes, the best box colours and the pitfalls of using them. How to get gel polish/nails off yourself, how to remove glued on eyelashes. Rather than saying 'don't', like women are dummies and can't be trusted with their own bodies.
I do think we should complain to the Guardian about this, because it’s so bleeping immoral, them giving her a platform to advertise them undeclared. The Guardian is broke though; maybe Hershesons threw them a little sweetener?Of course the hairdressers charging extortionate amounts (for those that aren't having #presstreatments which are therefore pushing up the prices for everyone else ) are shitting themselves and urging people not to dye or cut their own hair.

The worst part of going to the hairdresser for me - that moment when you are strangled with the smock and you sit down with wet hair and see yourself in the mirror looking like a mouse dipped in oil. I strain my eye muscles from looking away every time.I've never liked going to the hairdressers
I haven't had issues with it, but I have wavy/curly hair, so it allows much more room for error. I found if I put it all over my hair the ends would be much more saturated with colour (if that makes any sense), and in this way it fades to a much more "natural" appearance, since the ends are usually lighter than your roots.If I just want to cover grays does it not leave a line of demarcation from the new color? Do you pull it through the ends just before washing out?
I soak my feet first for a few minutes (in a laundry plastic tub, I can't remember the right word in English ), the softer your skin is from water the better, then apply dry baking soda with my hands, use the pumice stone if necessary, rinse and put a good amount of cream.Also do you just apply dry baking soda to wet feet and scrub with hands?
