Not all are, but you can feel quite vulnerable in the hairdressers chair. I had all my hair chopped off as a kid as the hairdresser was chatting my mum up and forgot what he was doing.
Gosh that’s a very broad statement! I’ve gone to dozens over the years and I don’t think I’ve ever had a bad experience (personality wise). Some shocking cuts though

I have mine two years, still painful. I put duct tape over seams on inside to stop them cutting me but still have to wear them with fluffy socks.
I’ve stuck to the same things for most of my life and I just feel like it’s too cakey for my age. I struggle to change up my makeup looks as I’m SO PALE that I find it hard to find good colour matches. Since having my baby I feel like my makeup looks so heavy and makes me look even more tired and I don’t even know where to start.I have been using salon quality shamooos conditioner etc for more than 10/15 yrs and loved especially Semi Di Lino alfaparf range but in the last year my hair has gone bitty, frizzy and broken I think I’m losing hair and it’s growing back in parts so it looks broken if you get me- perimenopsuse??!My hair is looking so crap recently. I've always had very fine hair (but lots of it) that gets oily quickly. Lately it's been looking even finer than usual, frizzy, dry-ish and wispy - feel like I have old lady hair even though I'm not even mid 30s yetNot exactly the groomed, glamorous or polished look I'm going for! I'm thinking (hoping) it might be my shampoo. Does anyone have any recommendations for a shampoo / any products that will bring some life back to my hair and make it look a bit thicker and stronger without weighing it down / making it look greasy?

Thanks again for the recommendation - I've been using it for nearly 2 weeks and think I can see the tiniesttt difference. How long did it take for you to see a visible difference?
Cantu products from Boots are cheap and effective. I like their curl cream.
On the body type one, I ended up taking measurements of my shoulders, bust, waist and hips, and there's a website (like this one Body Shape Calculator - What Body Type Are You? - Inch Calculator ) where you can plug the measurements in and it gives you a body type. I've found it helpful to create some balance since I have massive shoulders.I have two questions;
1) how do people know how to dress so stylishly according to their body type? I have Tried those quizzes and no dice. I have had 2 little girls now and my body is so different! Only feel comfy in tracksuits or Adanola leggings and a long tshirthow the hell do I figure it out without paying for a stylist
2) how do some people always have perfect hair? I have to wash mine every day (don’t try to convince me otherwise
I am basically Julia from motherland but I’d like to be a little bit more like Amanda
I think ĥair dyes are a lot better for your hair than they used to be. A lot of things hairdressers don't like about box dye is probably due to people choosing the wrong kind of dye , like using permanent when a semi would suffice or the wrong colour. People make errors using the dye too, like not having enough dye in the pack for long or thick hair or they apply all the dye all over their hair when they just need to touch up their roots. Then some people don't make a good job because they find it tricky to dye their own hair.Apologies if this has been covered already but wanted to ask...
So I was in the salon this morning having a dry cut and mentioned I might consider colouring my hair again just to take the dead/dull look away. It's been years since I've had anything other than a cut. I have med/dark brown hair for context. The girl said she could do like an all over colour that will give it a shine. Cost of this is about £65.
So my question is if this is an all over colour what makes this different from say a box dye for a tenner. I know people say box dyes are terrible etc but I've never really understood why? What makes them so terrible? I just want a nice rich colour that will give my hair some shine. Would some high or low lights be better than all over?
I've also noticed that since I stopped the contraceptive pill my hair is a horrible texture and so dull and limp. Not sure if the added eostrogen was giving my hair a good bit of life?
I'm really clueless so any help appreciated. I'm also happy to spend the money on getting my hair done professionally if it is worth the spend?
Help!!!
I have the Dyson hair dryer and have to say it’s good. Good heat settings. Very quiet and my hair dries nicely and stays healthy.
I’m interested in this colours thing because I can tell I look like death in beige and camel, and better in pinks and cream. How do people figure all the colours out for sure though?I loved this! Something for me to consider. And strangely something came up on my You Tube feed today about famous people who are bright winters wearing the correct and incorrect colours. It was really interesting seeing how the beige ethic isn't for everyone and the difference a bright lipstick or outfit can make.
Probably explains why I look so washed out with my make up as I always suspected I was a bright winter and my none bitchy friends are always nagging me to wear bright colours.
Here's the video in case you're interested:-

I had it done professionally once (where they use a scalpel) and it was good. It removed a lot of peach fuzz and pretty much any dead skin I had but since then I just do it myself at home because I didn't really see enough benefit to pay professionally when home results are pretty much identical. What do you think you would regret about having it done?
I love this style! My sister’s hair is like this and I’m so jealous! Mine is straight and with not much volume! Seems we always want what we haven’t got. In the meantime try to be kind to yourself and do things that Make you feel good and try to distract yourself as I think sometimes it can be worse if you aren’t feeling great in general
I found CBT helped. It didn’t help for any of my other issues but when it came to checking compulsions etc and negative thoughts it really did. You could try setting aside a set amount of time every day where you’re allowed to think about your hair and look at it as much as you want (like when you are doing it in the morning, and before bed) but outside of that you’re not allowed to, so that you still giving your time to think about it, but it’s not taking over all of your thoughts all of the day. Or you can try to slowly reduce the time spent each time or reduce the amount of times a day 
Hope some of this helps! xxxI could have written this! I don’t wear jeans full stop because none suit me. I’m a 14 but have big boobs and a big bum and anything tight just accentuates my middle where I carry my weight.I may be the only one but I just feel jeans of any kind don’t look right on me?! I am a size 12/14 and 5ft 7, I’m an hour glass shape and I store weight on my stomach, but my legs are skinny. I just feel jeans draw attention to my stomach area if I wear something more fitted/ shorter on top, but if I wear something oversized it throws off all my proportions and makes me look very top heavy. Any ideas?!
Never tried it but there was a thread here where people were raving about Lash Princess - available at Wilko
That's my body shape, I got that analysed as well. I always thought I was pear but people would tell me I had it wrong etc. but when I got analysed they told me I was a pear but a "slight" one as in my bottom half is bigger than my top but not as drastically as it usually is for someone who is a pear.This is interesting, but what do you mean by the slight pear part?
That sounds brilliant!!! I must try and get it, thank you for sharing!

I’m a big fan of the Garnier vitamin C range to perk me skin up. It’s pretty cheap, too. Aside from that, sounds like you’re a little rundown so some orange juice, protein and a night off from wedding duties sounds like a good idea.Morning Tattlers - I get married in 3 weeks and I am feeling completely run down! I am not sleeping properly (this mornings grand waking time was 2:30am) This is the second weekend I have woke with a sore throat and snuffly nose - Really would appreciate any hints or tips to perk myself up and ensure I'm feeling my best for the big day! As I feel at this rate, I'll be a swollen, puffy, snotty witch!
