When I was young, I remember my mum used to be very particular of not getting me a hair cut except from her own hands and needless to say she was not a hair stylist. I am not sure what is with old mindsets that there is something in the hands of the stylist which lends character to your hair.

The stylist I was so gaga about a few months ago is now on my hit list because of the … [Read more...] about My Hair Diary – December 2015
