As you would be able to tell if you knew me, I gave up on ALL styling products and devices many years ago. But I still yearn for the impossible..your writing made me laugh, thankyou.

It is a core human frailty, as the snake oil salespersons of the internet know only too well. Thanks for reading.

I'm going bald so I am actually quite jealous of your dodgy electricals! (My instagram feed is full of hair thickening serums that do fuck all)

Who knew I’d be this happy (i.e. a tiny bit happy) to have hardly any hair left?

Is it wrong to have laughed at your woe? I share your pain. I'm waiting for an expensive delivery of hair product due today. We can but dream.

I write about my pain so that others may take joy from my suffering.

My daughter has a second hand Dyson one and I absolutely love it, I sneak into her room when I’m staying with her to use it. I only use the hairbrush attachment but it’s fun to dry your hair with.

I do not find it fun. Maybe I need to get the real thing.

Mary got one of the older models on Ebay or something but it was £200 which is a lot for a hairdryer
