Last month I shared part one of my eSalon hair colour review and now it's time for part two. After my first attempt, I decided that I loved the vibrant ginger colour that my ends had gone and so I adjusted my second eSalon order so that the copper blonde I received was a 9,... Continue Reading →
I've been dying my hair since I was 18. First blonde (until I was 30), then red until last year when I decided that I absolutely must have pink locks. It looked fantastic, but sadly I don't have the patience for the upkeep and so I always knew it was going to be a far... Continue Reading →

I got my hairdryer as a Christmas present from my parents, some time around 1992. It was a professional style dryer and came with a diffuser (which was handy for my then-permed hair), and a nozzle for blow-drying straight.
