Changing Sides.
I had to laugh at myself the other day. I went to learn about an Australian hair care range that has recently repackage all of their offerings and added a few other new bits and bobs to the range. So as part of the reintroduction to the range, they washed and blew dried my hair using various products and tools from the collection. So basically, it was just a meet and greet for my hair so to speak. All this to say, I was in the groove and pleased to learn about and experience the products (I think it was the fabbo head massage that really sucked me in) until the hairdresser said, “Okay, I’m done. I hope you like it.”
My eyes bugged out of my head. Eep! “Done?”, I said. Gulp. But as I was gaping at my reflection in the mirror, all I could see or rather couldn’t see was NO part. Oh, my goodness. I have had a part in my hair for the better part of…well, let’s say forever. Admittedly, my hair did look lovely, but I thought it would have suited someone else’s head better. You know what I mean? Between you and me, I worried if I stood up from the chair, would I topple over or something, be consumed by a sort of strange waxy catatonia, or possibly loose my command of speech? These bizarre thoughts did race through my mind. Well I’m pleased to say that I was able to muster a gracious thank you for the hairdresser and make my way fleet-footedly out of the salon. Right. First stop: my car’s rear-view mirror. After several deep breaths and few strategic shakes of my head a part returned. Phew. But oddly enough, it was not on my long standing right side, but on my left! What do ya know? As I was so pleased to see a part return, I didn’t care in the slightest that it was on my left side. In fact, it really worked. For some reason, my hair seemed to gain a bit of height at the crown and looked quite fresh. Go figure? It was the wackiest thing. Tell me I’m not the only one to wonder about their fate if they ever changed sides or if they’d live to tell about it?
Beauty Tips From A True Professional.
For attractive lips, speak words of kindness. For lovely eyes, seek out the good in people. For a slim figure, share your food with the hungry. For beautiful hair, let a child run his or her fingers through it once a day. - Audrey Hepburn
CARITA And Nothing More.

A Secret Weapon For The Serial Straightener.
Hi, I’m BM! and I’m a Serial Straightener. Naughty, I know, but like all serial straighteners, I just can’t help myself. But, but, but…I do use protection though.

C. S. I. Of Dye.
Psst. Psst. *whispers* Hey you! Want to get rid of any tell tale signs that mark the signature of a serial at-home hair colourist? Need to get rid of the evidence quick?
Well here’s a tip to rival that of any career colourists:
To get rid of any hair dye on the bathroom sink, tiles or tub, cover the stain with a super special stain removing mixture (SSSRM). To make your own SSSRM just mix up a pasty combination of peroxide and cream of tartar. Cover the stain with the nifty mixture and leave to dry. Once the mixture is dry and looking decidedly powdery, wash it away with cold water. Ta da! What hair dye? Even the most seasoned C.S.I. of dye wouldn’t detect a trace. This is just a little something to keep under your hat should you need it. *wink*
