Hair Maintenance
Being frugal to us means choosing cheaper options for items we use: I needed to replace a casserole dish not long ago as I broke ours. I looked around charity shops for a replacement, and asked chums if they might have one spare that we could have. Neither worked, so I looked online for local supermarkets, and found a half-price dish early in January. The perfect size for Man Wonderful and myself.
Life works best this way.
We live on a small income, and save up for things.
It was fun to look for our new dish rather than just shell out cash without thinking.
Anyhow.
For some time now I have been lucky to have free hair maintenance. One of the local hairdressers asked if I could support her daughter with tuition, and I have been. In return I've been having my hair dyed, cut, styled, etc..etc.
The daughter finished needing support at the end of 2023, so I spoke to the stylist and took back my own hairdressing.
Today I sat in the bath while hair colourant was setting, and am typing this with a t-shirt on my head, drying my hair. All fun!!
Do you 'do' your own hair styling?

No, going to the hairdressers is a lovely treat, and one I feel I deserve, it really doesn't hurt to have this treat 4 times a year, and know that I look presentable
ReplyDeleteI've only ever once dyed my own hair and it was an absolute disaster, I ended up spending a lot of money and wasting a lot of time having a 'plum' colour stripped out of my hair, (what was I thinking, putting it on, in the first place.) Lol I learned from that big mistake and have always said never again - so to me, you are very brave doing it yourself x Anne
I have cut my own hair for years and just used 'Sun-In' to add highlights, which I was very happy with, but I have started to think that I need to go back to using a hairdresser. My hair is long, very thick and looks much better when layered. Rubbish Summers, reluctance to use a hairdryer and a change in hair texture and colour due to being 'a certain age' means the Sun-In no longer seems to be cutting the mustard. My daughter is getting married in the Autumn and it would be nice to have found a style I can live with by then, rather than turning up with an unruly oddly coloured mop on my head!
ReplyDeleteI used to cut my own hair, back in the days when every penny was needed elsewhere. Now I go to a salon and pay slightly more than I would like to have it cut by the only hairdresser I've ever met who hasn't complained about my ridiculously fine hair.
ReplyDeleteI stopped my expensive highlights during Covid and didn’t go to the hairdresser for two years. A few months ago I went short again and embraced my natural shade. Catriona
