Hi Skybluepink!
Firstly I would like to say Hi and welcome.
Secondly about the haircut. Over the years (I am 62 now) I must have spent a fortune on hairdressers and less than a quarter of the haircuts have been successful. Particularly the blow drying. I hate having what they now call 'Products' on my hair as they only flatten my hair and as soon as I step outside the hairdressers door, my hair is flat to my head. These days I flatly ( pardon the pun) refuse to have 'Products' at all. I have now found a hairdresser who cuts and blows mine for Ł12 and I colour it myself a light beige blonde. I have it cut and styled like Fern Briton has hers at the moment and I am delighted with it.
Best of luck with finding a good hairdresser - as my old Mum would say, they are as scarce as hen's teeth.
