Taron reading at Letters Live, not sure when this was.

Live on the UK app now. Just realised the Grounding one has bamboo stem for light exfoliation.

Edit to add: my order has been despatched already!

Can anyone advise on the best method to take weight out of the hair without using thinning scissors? I love my hairdresser but I think I need to bite the bullet and make an appointment for a consultation with a curly specialist.

​

​

I have thick shoulder length hair and a lot of it, it's quite coarse and prone to frizz. Probably 2c curls. I don't have a great routine but I do use CGM products. I've some wiry greys in there and am at the age when my hormones are starting to affect it, too.

​

I usually know when I'm due a haircut as it starts becoming quite unmanageable and takes a lot longer to wash. A few haircuts ago, my hairdresser took a lot of weight out with thinning scissors and in the following weeks, I realised it had ruined the curl pattern, so I did a little research and it seems that's not a great way to take weight out of curls. It started to come back and look better as it grew out.

​

I visited again a week or so ago and told her this and I think she did some layering underneath the top layers of hair but she also still used the thinning scissors a bit. It still feels pretty bulky and again, my curl pattern has gone to pot.

She's a great hairdresser and always tries but Im not sure she's best equipped to cut my curls (I've been going to her for years, before I started embracing my curls).

​

Any advice would be great and curly hairdressers in NW England if you know of any.

​

TY!
