Birthday Party - The Second Coming

[wiseheart]

As you all know by now, LJ has decided to crash our birthday party - the original post is no longer visible. But some of us still had most of the comments in our inbox and decided to reconstruct the original party as well as we can, because we had great fun and the discussions were wonderful.

However, to avoid the same mishap occurring to us, we've decided to open up a second entry for further comments while working on rebuilding the original. We still have two days left, and we won't allow LJ to crash our party!

The original entry had 1328 comments, on 6 pages. The reconstructed party has now 500+ (all reposted within one day and a few new ones added), having reached Page 7 already.

Let's see what else can we come up with. New guests are welcome to share the fun. :)

That sounds really silly of her!
(but then I don't believe in blow driers - I wish my hair was curly, but it is determinedly not)

I wish I had some decent hair, period. The thin, barely existent stuff that grows on my head is an embarrassment.

I think hairdressers go out-of-their way to make you feel that whatever type of hair you have, you should be striving for something else; it makes business sense, I suppose, but it annoys me greatly!

I suppose so. I hate going to hairdressers - I mostly just let mine grow until it really annoys me... it is currently mid back length

I generally keep putting off going to the hairdresser until my hair gets so long that it annoys me too much. When I was younger I had really long hair, and just occasionally cut the frayed ends off my self. Since getting it cut shorter I have realized that if I keep it below a certain length it gets much easier to manage: I used to have a real hard time and need to spend really long each morning getting the knots out of my hair. When it is shortish I can just run my brush through it and it all sorts it self out very easily.

That's what I do - just let it grow until I can't stand it anymore, then have it cut off. It's much easier to manage when it's shorter, and because it's curly it dosen't frizz as bad when it's shorter.

Exactly! Which makes it all the more annoying when the hairdresser won't cut enough off. In some ways I suppose I can see their point: they are worried that you will be displeased with how much they have cut off and it is easier to cut a bit more than to try to make it longer. On the other hand hair grows! If it should end up a bit shorter than you wanted, you simply need to wait a little while and then it will be longer again.
