See the world from HELEN’S HILARIOUS VIEWPOINT...
Our fabulous and funny columnist, comedian Helen Lederer is here to tell it like it is, in her own witty way…
Ihave two women in my life that I simply cannot do without, so if either decide to move, retire or become accountants, let’s just say I will not be happy.
Yes, I’m talking about hair carers – that unsung army of people who know exactly how to do the perfect blow dry, so it looks ‘undone’ (which is not a contradiction in terms at all) and possibly more importantly, how to conjure up the perfect mix of ‘textured’ highlights – to make all my hairs look like they did when I was 15.
Well, not quite 15… When I was 15, I was still using ‘Stay-Blonde’ shampoo (do you remember that?) along with a squeeze of lemon to ‘highlight’ my natural mousey hair… Fast-forward to my 20s when I was introduced to the see-through swimming cap method, where hairs were pulled through with a knitting needle implement (ouch), and then on to the Bacofoil basting method, and then more recently – the use of a pastry brush that implements ‘balayage’, whatever that means, but since it’s a French word – I’m in.
I love my hair carers. If I’m not booking an appointment, I’m changing one, or begging them to come back from their holiday or better still, to just not go in the first place. Don’t they realise I’m dealing with root issues?
On one rather formal occasion
