Help with my hair please!
I have extremely thick, coarse, super straight hair that hates to be curled. Mine is about your length and that is the ideal length for me. It would help if you post pictures of some of your attempts. I am a hairstylist and actually do not recommend thinning the hair. Thinned out hair is... -

Thanks, ladies! Lorelai, the navy is a lightweight twill, the white is labeled canvas but it's much thinner and drapier than canvas. I got them both at my local Hancock Fabrics.- kamikat

Should I get a perm? Advice please.

Should I get a perm? Advice please.
Yes, I have a perm and colored hair. Is you hair natural now and you want to color it after your perm or is your hair currently colored? That makes a difference in which perm your stylist will use. Perms for natural hair can be very damaging on colored hair. There are perms designed for... -

high end vs low end products ?
The funny thing about MAC is that it isn't all that much more expensive than drugstore brands. I use both MAC and drugstore lipsticks, simply because the drugstore is less than a mile away and the nearest place to buy MAC is a 30-45minute drive. The last lipstitcks I bought were a Revlon 24... -

London Shopping?
I'll be in London for a few days in mid-June. My husband will be working, so I'll have day time to explore of my own. Are there some good vintage or charity shops that I should check out? I'll be staying in Marylebone, if that helps.- kamikat
