Girls who like boys who like...

I am going to stop talking about life in the lab or a bit, mainly because the girl who tried very hard to wreck the equipment is now being more annoying than ever and I really have no desire to rehash the lecture I just gave her via email.

anyway last night we were chatting to the IT guy about GHD straighteners, and he freaked out at the level of girliness and ran off, and so I was chatting to my labmate, and it became apparent that she had never even seen a hair straightener, does not own a hairdryer and only uses conditioner when the mood hits.

And as much as I tend to climb trees, get covered in dirt and get bitten or crapped on by various animals regularly, I freaked! Life without heat-styling? A day without conditioner? Even if you listen to Oprah and only use shampoo twice a week, you HAVE to condition!

Anyway the IT guy is going overseas and might be able to pick up a GHD for me. I have the good old Toni & Guy which I'm totally fond of, but I'm torn between saving up for a new camera lens, or grabbing the opportunity for the world's most awesome straightener...

Thoughts?

Hehe until a few months ago I was like your friend. But when I had to go to this big wedding I panicked and bought a GHD. I feel like a real faker using it, but it does make hair so amazingly manageable.

I'm with your labmate, actually. My hair is sensibly short, and if I have to spend more than thirty seconds on it (ie brush, then walk out of bathroom), I lose interest.
"Low Maintenance Hair" is what I always ask my hairdresser to give me each time I visit!
