everything i know i learned from my hairdresser.
1. When life hands you lemons, put them in a spray bottle and spritz the formula onto your hair. You’ll get sheen and scent, both of which will gain you many, many years of luck with boys.
2. If you cut corners, you’ll wind up looking like a messed up version of yourself.
3. When the going gets tough, the tough bleach.
4. Speak softly and carry a big can of hairspray.
5. It’s OK if you don’t gel with everyone.
6. Work hard. Spray harder.
7. No one can make you feel you have bad hair without your consent.
8. Never forget your roots.
9. Ask not what you can do for your hair, but what your hair can do for you.
10. Only the good dye young.

you’re just teaching us life lessons under the guise of hair and it’s working!
oh you’ve foiled my plans! :)
And… because every hairdresser is always full of advice in matters of the heart….they might advise ‘Distance makes the heart grow fonder. But don’t part for too long or you may submit to the tease.’ ooh please…my sides! ( sorry couldn’t help it). – thanks for my saturday morning funnies erin.
HAAAAAA I LOVE THIS! HA!
