I love you mum, but I haven’t bought your gift yet. Bear with me. I have this theory that there is an optimum time for git buying, which falls neatly…

So. We covered keeping blonde, blonde in the last episode. This week: styling. AKA my cryptonite. My hair is thick, coarse, unruly….. poorly behaved in even the best of conditions.…
