Feeling scared

I believe (although I don't remember where I heard it) that hair is more static and fly away in dry weather.
My hair is very staticky on cold dry days. If I attempt to flatten my hair with my hand it will stick to the hand like a vandergraph. It used to be one of my party tricks with balloons.
I guess that's one positive from these grey wet days we have been having - my hair is easy to control.

Yes that definitely sounds like my hair. I don't like a lot of products in my hair as it makes my scalp itch. I used to pick up a lot of static from the flooring at work and got large sparks when I touched the metal filing cabinets. Anyone else touching them at the same time got a sizeable static shock complete with zapp

And being bleached at the scalp certainly won't have helped! Any decent hairdresser would suggest holding off on bleach or permanent colour until your hair was in better condition.
You can always put a temporary colour in while your hair recovers. Mine has only recently improved after months of being flyaway and dry and full of static.

Exzactly what I thought xx
 
Guess what my doctors have breached confidentiality the rude doctor I spoke to yesterday has put someone else's patients notes on my file about them having a lump on elbow xx
 
Try to remember that your hairdresser is there to provide you with a service. If their service is not good for whatever reason, and pressuring you into making quite high value purchases is definitely not good service and in fact is taking advantage of you in my opinion, then they deserve to lose your custom. It is their fault that you have decided to go elsewhere, so do not feel bad about it. It might be helpful to give them that feedback, but I understand that you may not want to do that in case they further pressure you.

Yes: I can speak confidently about this in my new role as an expert on tooth extraction :(. I was told to start using my toothbrush (and flossing) straight away after my recent extraction: I just avoided the dodgy area to begin with.

By 12 days post-extraction I was (from what I remember) able to get very close with my toothbrush to the extraction site without it hurting much. I'm now 25 days post-extraction and I can go over the site itself with my electric toothbrush with no problems :party:.
