That sounds horrific.
Are your fingertips all Simon Weston now then?

I'm just jealous
of the curls. Shit hairdresser woman, when I asked her how I could get my hair curly just said dismissively that as my hair is dead straight it'd be incredibly difficult

ach, what a load of bollocks!!!
if your hair is medium-fine, just use GHD's, will take about 20 mins to curl your entire head and it will stay most of the night. if you have thick hair (think you've said before that you do?), just buy heated rollers. they are a bit of a pain, but it looks amazing the first night and then brushes into lovely waves the second day. i got mine brand-new from an insolvent hairdresser on ebay for a fiver, and they are absolutely brilliant.

that being said, i'd swop every curl on my head for your dead straight hair. curly hair is a bloody nightmare!

I tried GHDs and the curls just fell out in minutes
The heated rollers sound like a great suggestion though thanks!

I like curly hair personally, straight hair like mine often just looks flat. Guess it's a case of the 'grass is always greener on the other side'

yes
the massive downside to curly hair is that, unless you are very lucky or prepared to spend a while messing with it, it's just frizzy. mine spends most of its time part wavy, part curly, part frizz. sigh.

get a set with plenty of big rollers in, the little ones will just turn it into a granny perm! never ever a good look. but they really work. my old flatmate, whom i was out with last night, has baby-fine and poker-straight hair, and even hers turned into luscious bouncy curls that lasted until this morning.

Thank you!
They look really good. Are they hard to use?
( Amberl was stripey and dominated Europe, Sun 21 Nov 2010, 18:01, Reply)

nope
really easy, honestly. just blow dry your hair, grab a section of it, roll up as tightly as possible, clip tightly into place, repeat. try and get them in neat rows, but it really really doesn't matter if you don't. then cover in hairspray, sit patiently for a good couple of hours. take them out (don't forget the back, as i once did at school....) and don't panic, it will look dreadful! but as soon as you run your fingers through it, it will look amazing.

keep running your fingers through it until you are happy with the look, more hairspray, done.
