Hair

[jennyjoan]

My hair is the longest it has ever been - it is usually pixie-cut but I can always give it volume with my hot brush.

Now it is a lot longer (ear length (bob cut) and the "curls" don't stay in with the hot brush. I do not like long straight hair - it puts me in mind of Julie Andrews in The Sound of Music and a nun I am not LOL

Anybody suggest if I could get a root perm or some of volume lift in the hairdressers. Thanks

Is your hair layered, Conne?

[mallyh]

what about a little backcombing at the root end .

[jennyjoan]

it would be jo - layererd - I want the fullness at the top of my head so backcombing bottom wouldn't suit. Years ago there was like a root perm - they sorta (from what I can remember) put the perm at the root of your hair. I know I can get this information from the hairdressers but I want to tell them what I want not what they suggest. It won't be my usual hairdresser.

This is good

I'm finding it hard to explain but if you back comb the top of your hair it will give you volume .

i have looked at your links and they seem good - also I youtubed some good hints but like everything else you need to spend time doing your hair. I am not really into the permy thingmajig but do know that I can work my hot brush (not straighteners - can't use them) but if any of you know of a volumising substance that I can spray on the washed hair and when I go to hot brush that the "substance" is not sticky and so won't stick to the hot brush. If I can get that I am as good to go. thanks for your replies

Re the backcombing I can't really lift my left arm too high with it being broke last year so that would be painful for me

well used some old mousse that I had but this time I thoroughly dried my hair then used the hot brush - now I'm gorgeous LOL - masses and masses of curls.
