Isnt
amazing how perceptive stylists are? Well mine is anyway! On
a recent visit with my other half, I could see her glancing
up at me and frowning whilst snipping away at his locks. Finally,
his lordship looking like a human again, she turned on her heels
and gave me one of her looks, you know, the type of look she
keeps in the freezer for just such occasions. "And what
are they?" she asks, pointing her tail-comb in a very threatening
manner at my head. God, I thought, I knew I should have worn
a hat. "What?" says I. "You know what!"
says she. I knew very well what. She was referring to my hair
slides. "They were a present" I said. "No doubt",
she says "but why are you wearing all 24 of them at the
same time?" She knew, I knew that she knew and she knew
that I knew that she knew, if you see what I mean. "Youve
been at it again", she says in her best headmistress tone,
that brooked no argument. "I have not", says I. "You
have!" says she, "Yes, she has", pipes up the
other half. (I pull one of my looks out of the freezer and turn
it on him!) "Get in the chair and get them out!" (Shes
awfully bossy for a pretty girl!) Meekly, defeated I had to
do it. I climbed in the chair and pulled out the slides. Hanging
my head in shame I tamely let her set about putting it right.
To give her credit, she didnt say a word. She worked in silence,
I sat in silence and he sat with a silly youve been caught
grin on his face. After ten minutes of tutting and several malicious
tugs of my hair she whips off the cape, slaps the slides into
my hands and with one final tut, turns her back on me and attends
to Mrs Robinsons lilac rinse. I slink out of the chair with
all the grace of a naughty kitten and creep towards the door
thinking Id got off lightly. She waits until my hand is on
the door handle before calling out in her most authoritative
voice to my other half "And next time she cant sleep,
keep her away from the scissors!"
Oh well,
if Im not allowed the scissors I can always stock up on hair
dyes, or perms,

Not everyone suits a sleek style though, so if its something a little looser youre after, secure your pony with a slim silk scarf, Gucci style, but keep tendrils to a select few.
TRIED AND TESTED HAIRSPRAYS A top hair magazine recently tried and tested the latest in flexible hairsprays so read on and choose for yourself! UMBERTO GIANNI BIG AND BEAUTIFUL This was easy to direct where it was needed and it dried straight away. It left hair looking soft and shiny and kept the style in place well for a short time. Needed an extra spray after a few hours though so best kept for nights out. 3 Out of 5 CHARLES WORTHINGTON DREAM HAIR FLEXI-FIX Expensive looking packaging and the nozzle dispensed a very fine mist which fixed the style perfectly, without leaving it wet. It gave hair a natural hold and brushed out easily. Definitely worth a try. 5 Out of 5 SILVIKRIN FLEXIBLE HAIRSPRAY A rather old fashioned looking can but sprayed well and held style. It did leave the hair slightly wet for a few seconds but didnt set hard. Good value for money. 4 Out of 5 LOREAL ELNETTE FLEXIBLE Plain spray can but dispensed spray really well and held the hair instantly. The hair was touchable and pliable, stayed in place for the whole day and brushed out really easily. Excellent value for money. 5 Out of 5 SALON SELECTIVES FLEXIHOLD This spray had a fairly strong fragrance and the nozzle dispensed rather a lot of product. It did give flexible hold and lasted well but the slightly sweet smell could be off-putting. 3 Out of 5
